When Sophie was first born, we were so sleep deprived and consumed with baby-related tasks that it was hard to focus on the little parts of our normal routine. Running basic errands, doing the dishes, and even figuring what to eat were suddenly huge challenges. I will be forever grateful to the friends who came over with food, helped wash dishes or take care of our cats, and volunteered to run errands during those first few weeks. As a new parent, I absolutely LOVE the concept behind these letterpress printed promissory notes from IOU Letterpress – a collaboration between Christine of Ink Lemonade and Typecase Industries. The first set of cards is geared specifically for new parents, with IOUs for laundry, errands, cooking, even time to catch a bit of sleep. So perfect.

I love these! My baby is 10 months old and I could still use them. Who knew someone so tiny could produce so much laundry? And folding baby laundry just takes forever. I’ll be picking up a pack to help out my friend who is due in May.
Thanks so much for featuring this one Nole.
Err, don’t remind me, our second is due in June and we’ve only just got to sleep in til 8am, what are we thinking?! But you’re right, these are just great – I hope some of our friends are reading this post!
So sweet – thanks for the feature, Nole!
These are the best “coupon” type cards I’ve ever seen- both beautiful and sweet… plus things you would actually really appreciate. I love it!
As a newish mum, I can really appreciate these cards!
