Remember when you met another mom at the mall (the one who didn't act like she's taking the wrong dose of her Prozac) and you wanted to exchange numbers? Images of future play dates, over coffee and adult conversation, were dancing in your head as you dug in the diaper bag searching for a pen and paper. Hurry, before little Susie throws another tantrum, scaring your potential new friend and decreasing your chances of that future playdate. Digging, digging...nope, still no pen. Would've been a lot easier if you had a calling card.
I admit that I didn't quite get the "mommy calling cards" phenom. Who would you give the cards to, and why would they want one? Afterall, you're not running a business. You're a mom just taking little Johnny to the park for goodness sake.
But, now I get it. Moms ARE running a business - the business of our child's education, health, safety, emotional well-being... and like it or not, their entertainment (i.e. playdates). Anything that makes this job the slightest bit easier is appreciated. And when you can do the job with a little bit of style too, don't you feel even better? Just imagine how organized and together you'll seem when you whip a calling card out of that diaper bag. No one has to know that you forgot to put the baby's bottle in the bag before you left home.
Urban Bliss Design has a hip, colorful line of Mama Calling Cards that you'll be proud to hand over to your mommy friends. Perfect for "playdates, to give to teachers, coaches, and fellow (uber hip) soccer/swim/art/music class mamas. No kids? No problem! Use these stylish designs as traditional calling cards or even as your first set of business cards."
Great for promoting your blog too!
Urban Bliss Design also carries a gorgeous line of notecards, created with a fine weave texture for added dimension.
So there you have it - a sophisticated way to save time, effort, and a bit of sanity. And you know my catch-phrase by now: saving sanity of moms one blog at a time! Now you can do it with ease and style.
