Thank Yous - Just Do It.

I think all Mummys have been guilty of receiving a(nother) present for our babies and instead of being touched and amazed at how generous everyone is, you think "OMG - that's another thank you card, I'm already behind and have at least 37 to write that are overdue". To non-Mummy's this sounds incredibly ungrateful and selfish, but hey, this is a blog for Mummys and we get it. Newborns + life + husbands + house are all time consuming enough - add correspondence and it's overload! 

So, this is simply an encouraging post to say just try to write a few more today. It's awful but true - thank you cards are like flowers, beautiful in the early days but leave them too long and they wilt and loose their significance. (But hey, if you do get behind, everyone understands!). 

PS: it drives me crazy when I give presents to children and don't receive a thank you - if the child can write, they should be sending a thank you. Email is fine. It's just good manners!
