During the Hallmark Mom-e-vent earlier this year we got sneak peek at some new products in the works from Hallmark’s writers and artists, and one of the collections that had us most excited and Rolling On the Floor Laughing were the cards commiserating with us all- from The Edge of Motherhood.
Nothing but the truth.
You know, cards for Real Moms!
And isn't it the best that we can laugh and joke about the reality of Motherhood? (If I couldn't laugh I'd be balled up weeping in a corner... so thank God for the ability to find humor in it all.)
I thought I'd do something fun to ring in Ivy's very first birthday, so until September 15 I'm going to post some fun giveaways every day- you can see all the giveaway posts here.
Leave a comment below if you'd like to win a whole big bundle of cards from Hallmark's Edge of Motherhood and their new line of encouragement cards for kids. Open to residents of the US and Canada!
I'll choose one winner at random on the night of Ivy's birthday, September 15. Winner will be contacted via email (so please include it when you fill out the secure comment form) and I'll also announce all winners here by September 16.
[And might I add in here that I am enjoying my new Real Mom writing gig at Real Moms Guide. Some recent articles for your reading pleasure:
Okay thanks.]

I love those cards! Definitely my kind of card :)
Hilarious! Love them!
So, so true!!
These look great. My sister and I have always said we needed to write cards about REAL life!
I know I feel like a new woman after only 3 hours of sleep! She's 8 months old...she has to start sleeping eventually, right?
I would love these! And with like 100 of my friends having just given birth, about to give birth or in the nausau stage I think I'd have a few to share them with :)

Those cards are too funny!
These are perfect mommy cards! I would love to give and receive! The no sleep card would be perfect for my coworkers... all of us being full time mommys by day and working at night. We usually joke
"so... how many hous of sleep today?!?!"
That first card is hysterical...lol
Those cards are just too funny! Thanks for the great giveaway.
Hallmark is great. It was my first job in high school! Moms need a good laugh...every day.

My standby card box is getting empty -- this would be an awesome way to fill it! :)
Those cards are great! I used to like the "In the Motherhood" shorts that could be seen online...hilarious.
I love reading cards. The best is going to the Hallmark store with a friend and reading all the funny cards until your both crying. Good times!
Oh those are so funny!! I love sending cards.
As a design major, Hallmark is one of the influential sources that we design students yearn to reach the level of. I love looking at cards, and buying them for the heck of it! :)
I send out SO many cards - this would be really helpful, thanks! (and those were FUNNY!)
Love the cards! So funny :)

Those are great!
Those are fun! Count me in!
LOVE those cards. Sometimes you do just have to laugh it off. Recently we've been dealing with episodes of starting to change our newborn's diaper and then finding out she wasn't quite done yet. It is kind of funny... especially when her daddy is changing her ;-)
I tried to leave a comment on your post about the Duggars, but it wouldn't work so I thought I'd leave it here: You should pick up their book, 20 and Counting. They tell why they have so many kids (their faith) and how they handle it. I think they are wonderful parents and have written their book and done their show to help others and to glorify God. It is possible to take good care of 19 kids and afford them all; they have proven it. They've never even accepted government assistance. I'm not sure it's for me, though. They had twins early on. These days, that's an automatic c-section. If a woman had a repeat c-sect for each subsequent pregnancy, she'd be limited to just a few more kids. VBACs are getting harder to come by. We want a large family and what scares me most is the maternity care aspect.
Yep, I love cards. And these look fantastic!
I love paper things. Pretty stationary, pretty paper lamps...
Let the numbers shower me in pretty paper cards!
You know, I have stopped sending cards.. but these are too true and too funny not to send!!!
LOVE those cards and it would be great to win. Happy bday, Ivy.
I'd love to win these. Thanks for the chance!

That sleep card cracks me up. It would be great to give to my friend when she has her first baby in a couple of months ... along a nice hot dinner, of course!
Happy birthday to Ivy!
Those are really cute cards.
hallie.renee@gmail.com
those look fun - thanks!
I love that card about how "I feel like a whole new woman w/3 hours sleep" - it is my life!
I saw these cards on another blog and I love the concept. In fact, next time I'm near a Hallmark store, I think I'm going to go in and check out the whole collection. I'd love to brighten a friend's life with a little laughter.
Happy birthday to your beautiful girl!

Oh my goodness, encouragement cards are so nice.
I love these cards. I also love the idea of having a stash of cards to send out, because I love getting mail and I'd enjoy making fellow mamas smile.
i am always forgetting to send cards to people. it would be great to have a stash here at home that i could have readily available...

Um yeah. To have a stack of cards on hand and not be a week late in sending out birthday greetings? That would be a change!
I have a feeling I will be purchasing some of these either way.
The art of writing letters and sending cards is not lost on me. Count me in. :)
