If you have been around the blog world since the beginning, you might remember the "blog carnival" called Works for Me Wednesday. This was one of the very first link parties I ever participated in regularly, and it was so much fun to see what helpful hints the world wide web had to offer each week. Do you remember this and did you join in?
If you want to see my old WFMW posts dating all the way back to 2008, click here. Unfortunately, some of the photos don't show up on the older posts, but you can still see the text. I'm going to revive my Works for Me Wednesday posts as an occasional topic on the blog. I hope you enjoy this blast from the past, when blog posts were short, simple helpful hints from one mom to another.
Father's Day 2020
Today's WFMW is really something I wish I had thought of 15 years ago! The kids got this giant card for Michael for Father's Day 2020. We all got a laugh out of it.
This year for Mother's Day, Michael put a sticky note over the "Father's Day" words and then had the kids sign on the inside. Then for Father's Day this year, we signed it again with the year written.
My WFMW idea would be to buy a big Father's Day card and a big Mother's Day card when the kids were little. Then each year, they could sign the card. You could notate the year in each section. How precious it would be to have all those little signatures and drawings in one place to remember the holiday over the years.
That is THE BEST idea. I wish I'd thought of that when the boys were little!
ReplyDeleteI’m telling you, I LOVE THAT!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteOh what a fantastic idea! I love that SO MUCH and it saves money AND saves space in the long run! So nice to only have one big card for a keepsake rather than 18 smaller ones!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I didn't blog back when these posts were popular so I've never even heard of this topic, but it is absolutely brilliant! I'm so glad you're going to be doing these posts!
That is a real huge card.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that has a table cloth & starts using it for the 1st birthday - everyone signs it & then they reuse the table cloth each year & add the signatures (they put well wishes & thoughts too) - then the 18 year old kid gets it to keep - can you imagine all the signatures. They have done that for all their family - that always stuck with me.
ReplyDeleteThat is a genius idea!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Maybe one day, Lord willing, we can do this with grandchildren :).
ReplyDeleteI love that idea! So special.
