Twice as Nice: Baby Twins Announcements

Twin Baby AnnouncementI know plenty of people who are having babies around this time of year. Announcements, I imagine, are one of the more fun parts of a pregnancy. Well, at least if they are cards that look this nice, then it would be fun. TinyPrints.com has all kinds of great baby announcements, and even plenty for twins, if you’re so lucky!

I caught a bit of that show Jon and Kate Plus 8 the other day. I can’t imagine having twinners and then being blessed with a six pack of children, all at once! Crazy stuff. So yeah, if you’re the lucky soon-to-be parent of twins, check out these announcements!

Announce in style here.

Titanium Spork

Titanium SporkI got this (along with a couple other things) for my Father at Christmas. He is quite the spork enthusiast, and really, it doesn’t get any better than a titanium spork. He loved it. I’m not sure if he still uses it, as that was well over a year ago now, but I tell you what, I’m sure it’s still in pristine condition!

Now, why a titanium spork you ask? I say why not! Most sporks are wonderfully convenient, but terribly flimsy. And most often, they still have little plastic seams left on the edges to cut your lip, ouch! This titanium spork is smoothly crafted into a perfectly gentle, but sturdy, large sized spork. Really, the thing is big, see that image there? It’s even bigger in real life! It measures 6 1/4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Go measure one of your spoons, probably nowhere near that size.

One last thought about a spork, that I took from my Father: Why not call it a foon?
