I will say that I have never been too much of a card person. They never really spoke to me. I am not into super sappy lovey dovey cards, because, well, I’m not super sappy or lovey dovey. So, I distanced myself from cards, saying things like, oh, who cares if they get a card. I have since changed my mind. Cards don’t have to be super sappy dripping with saccharin, they can be funny. And not nice funny, I mean really funny.
The Edge of Motherhood line from Hallmark does a superb job of conveying the message “I’m thinking about you” without seeming silly. With topics ranging from birth to dating, you are sure to find a properly hilarious card for your situation. Take this card, because sometimes, as Moms, we forget things, like birthdays…
The Inside: Sorry I missed it. Also, HELLLLLLP!
Ok, want another one?
The inside: There’ll be screaming in the background… I’ll have to hide in a closet to hear you… It’ll be awesome.
I told you they were funny!
Hallmark also has a great line of Encouragement Cards for Kids. They are great for boosting kids confidence by mixing humor with a loving message. Some of the cards have a sound clip that plays when the child opens the card. I think these cards are great. Starting at 99 cents, the sound clip cards cost $2.99, it is really an affordable way to give your child an extra reminder of love and courage. Perfect for first days of school, good grades or just for being them!
We received a bundle of cards from Hallmark to review and I am certainly sending these on to my Mom friends that could surely use a laugh! The encouragement cards are quickly being taken by my daughter who is absolutely in love with the “talking cards”!

My husband could use this. His father passed away a few months ago and it still gets him. Thank you
My daughter-in-law. Her 5 year old thinks she is 12 some days. Her 2 year old son is going through the terrible 2’s right now. Actually they are both being normal kids, but after a day at a high stress job she could use a little cheering up.
