After a wonderful birthday dinner, where I ate like I’d never been to fat camp, I came home to the most delicious surprise. Our nanny helped to create the most precious birthday cards I’ve ever received. Inside, each card were the drawings (scribble) of my sweet beans, signed with love and their names… and outside, their sweet little handprints. How absolutely thoughtful, creative, and… treasured. We’re so lucky to have her.

My mom always said that homemade cards from her kids were the best presents she could ever receive. Your nanny is obviously amazing.

They called you "Mother". Ha!
Happy Birthday, Stephanie.

How precious! And how very thoughtful of your nanny.
When I worked in daycare with two-year-olds, I had the bright idea to "think outside the box" and do footprint cards for Mother's Day. That was the stupidest idea I've ever had, period. Viva las handprints!

Precious!
And happy birthday! Was it today, or yesterday? My birthday is today — the big 30. thank you for being a constant source of inspiration. I read your book and it seriously convinced me to end my dead end relationship, and I re-read it last week in a moment of panic, wondering if I'd done the right thing.
I did.

We are blessed to have a wonderful nanny living with us too. She takes such good care of our little chicken. With our hectic and challenging careers, plus living away from our respective families, our nanny 'chelle has been a godsend.
Happy Birthday!

Yeah……Phil was right. You shouldn't talk about blowjobs in front of a stellar nanny who makes cool cards.
If she were useless…maybe.
:0)
Happy Birthday.
