What started as an innocent on-line baby book to chronicle Jill's stay-at-home days with her children, (Lily, Ben, and Evan) quickly transformed into a vibrant community of parents, brought together by a common theme: Parenting doesn’t have to be perfect. Learn more here.

LOVE these. I think I could find someone to send every single one to!
Thank for this idea. I love to make this card as well.

bhahahahaahaha..the MIL is friggin’ PERFECT!!!!!!! always nice to start my day out with a laugh…
These are hilarious. I’ve been having some fun on someecards making some passive aggressive Mother’s Day cards myself- because I don’t waste enough time on the internet as it is. Ha!

Love the MIL one. Of course, all the other ones could go along with that, for sure.
I could send the MIL one to my own mother.
I could send ANY of them to my mother.
I’d actually really like to send one of these to my mother.

Great cards – much better than any Hallmark cards I’ve seen. Ever.
I am my mother. I have the muffin top and stretch marks to prove it.

wow, i know the perfect person for each of those cards!!!
I’m in search of one like this:
“Happy Mother’s Day to you X-Stepmom! I just wanted to send a little reminder of how very thankful I am to not actually have to talk to you today, because you suck!”
Mama Melch recently posted..VOTE for my Friend!!!
Love these! How much would you charge to deliver your book and these cards to my mom & MIL for mothers day instead of me? Im committed to trumping their passive aggressiveness with my own this year! Thanks for the giggle!
Mary (A Teachable Mom) recently posted..Are You Fully Utilizing Your Le Creuset Cookware?
I LOVE the mother-in-law one! And your book!

I think I did pretty good with Mother’s day this year. My wife doesn’t read blogs, she barely reads mine, so I think its safe posting here, if you know her please keep it a secret. I went all Apple. I used iPhoto and made a book from pictures from over the last 5 years and two children. For one of my best friends, who was the inspiration for my Egret series, I wrote an un-blogged poem with Egret as an Adult (like the first one that was a thank you to her) and used the Apple Card maker app to send it to her as a mother’s day card.
Holy crap. I totally would LOVE to send that one to my Monster-In-Law.

I was hoping you would use your skills to create Mother’s Day cards! I love them all, especially the ones about “telling me how to be a parent” and “you think you are the perfect mom”. There are quite a few people who could use one, two, oh forget it….they need all of them! Happy (early) Mother’s Day Jill!

These are dead on – where do I place my order? And I always thought it took a gin and tonic to put the fun in dysfunction. Now I know it’s just the right card.
These are so funny :) thanks for sharing

This isn’t the best place to post this but I just wanted to say how MAD I was that I couldn’t make it to your talk in Naperville last week! It was on my calendar and everything and the fuckin’ family got in the way. Geez. Kidding – I love my family, but I sure as hell would have rather come meet you! Good luck on the rest of your tour.
Are you taking orders on the cards too? Thank you, i needed that laugh today.
