Last week, my family welcomed the newest addition to our clan of 20-plus cousins: a baby named Jane, with a mop of black hair and legs so long they landed her in the top height quartile! Jane is my aunt Blaithin’s second child, and despite 2-year old Stephen’s pleas to ‘put Jane back in the cot, Mummy,’ she’s had her hands quite full. Since Blaithin (pronounced ‘Bla-heen’) & Co. are an ocean away in Ireland, I can’t help her out by babysitting, so I happily volunteered to order Jane’s birth announcements instead. I picked a few of my favorite Cardstore.com photo birth announcements and Blaithin chose this adorable pink one from Driscoll Design. I personalized it with Jane’s impressive stats (8lb, 14oz!) and had Cardstore.com mail them directly to our relatives in Ireland, all from the comforts of my couch in California. I’d like to think of myself as a remote personal assistant –that, or just a helpful niece.
