thank you

everyone has them 

or at least they should 

manners 

its a big deal in our family 

and i have to admit a huge pet peeve of mine 

when others don't use them

(i am not pulling out my soap box so no worries)

we remind bug to 'pull her manners out of her pocket' 

if she isn't using them
or if you lost or forgot yours you can borrow mine
a teasing way to remind her

of course the way children learn manners are by 

watching their parents

so i try my best to be a good example 

i am also a little old fashion 

i use ma'am and sir 

and i also believe in thank you cards 

{free printable}

so after all the help we have had with the twins 

food, gifts, donations, etc 

bug witnessed me sitting down and writing out 

thank you cards 

addressing the envelopes

 and gasp!

 putting a stamps on them 

in our world  its easier to just electronically send a note  

( email, facebook, texting etc )

but lets be honest 

who doesn't enjoy getting a card, note or package 

via 'snail mail'?

i know i do!

so thank you cards will continue 

in our family 

along with good manners
