Mama Manifesto: Friday Giveaway: Jacki Paper Valentine's cards

We are excited to be offering a Valentine's giveaway! Jacki Paper is a spunky line of greeting cards created by a stay-at-home mom of three. They make super fun cards that are nostalgic of childhood memories with fun messages in beautiful letterpress. We fell in love with their slogan "kidhood recycled".

They are offset printed on 100% recycled paper with soy and vegetable-based inks, using only wind power in the printing process. And with messages like "i had to pass out valentines to everyone, but this is the only one I meant" or "Okay, maybe you are the boss of me. Happy Valentine's Day.", these are sure to brighten anyone's day. We say, hip, hip, hooray for the eco-friendly cards that can only make you smile! Jacki Paper has greeting cards for every occasion, so be sure to check out all the fun @ Jacki Paper!

(added bonus is that you will get to hear one of the sweetest songs ever!)

Jacki Paper will be offering one lucky reading a set of nostalgia-inspired valentines, just in time for the season! To enter, leave a comment and answer the following question:

When we were little we used to sing, "You and me sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g..." What is your favorite kidhood rhyme?

The randomly chosen winner of our babymel X2 diaper bag contest is ...

"sticks and stones may break my bones..." comes to mind ;)

We always sang "Cinderella dressed in yella went upstairs to kiss her fella made a mistake and kissed a snake how many doctors did it take? 1 2 3 4..." it was our favorite jumprope rhyme
Tina VegaJanuary 23, 2009 at 6:42 AM
"I see London, I see France..."

I wouldn't necessarily call it my favorite kid jingle but the only one that comes to mind so early in the morning :-)

As for a true nursery rhyme, I had a thing for The Little Old Lady Who Lived in a Shoe... how in the world did she fit so many children in her shoe?
mommy4lifeJanuary 23, 2009 at 7:44 AM
I don't know that it's my favorite - but I remember. "Cinderalla, dressed in yella, went upstairs to kiss her fella...."
KarinJanuary 23, 2009 at 8:16 AM
I'm a little Dutch girl
Dressed in blue.
These are the things
I like to do:
Salute to the captain,
Curtsey to the queen,
Turn all around like a submarine--- etc.

Jumped rope to that rhyme.
ToystoryJanuary 23, 2009 at 8:27 AM
Knick, Knack patty whack, give the dog a bone....etc.
Tegan | Celebrate Twelve13January 23, 2009 at 9:21 AM
"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack,
All dressed in black, black, black,
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons,
All down her back, back, back..."

All while jumping rope of course. :)

"Ink a bink a bottle of ink. . . " I like it just because it is fun to say, like all rhymes. :)
KariJanuary 23, 2009 at 10:02 AM

For some reason, "Engine, Engine Number 9, Coming down Chicago line, if the train goes off the track, will I get my money back," is sticking in my head right now. So weird. Cool cards.
kkmomJanuary 23, 2009 at 8:58 PM
One that pops in my head is "liar, liar pants on fire, hanging from a telephone wire".
kellyJanuary 24, 2009 at 3:36 AM
those cards are adorable! we used to always sing

" I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread.
They asked me what my name was, and this is what I said said said.
My name is e-i-e-i, Nick-a-Nie, Nick-a-Nie, Pom-Pom-Poodle, Willy Wally Wisky
My name is chief, roast beef, Ei-Ei-Ei-Ei-HOW!"

I promise I didn't just make that up.
Hannah Q. ParrisJanuary 24, 2009 at 2:14 PM
I think we sort of made it up, but my best friend and I always sang "Oh me, oh my, I wanna piece of pie. It tastes so good, like I knew it would!" It still comes out every now and then....
JessJanuary 24, 2009 at 4:07 PM
'Ring around the rosy,' and k-i-s-s-i-n-g!
ChristineJanuary 24, 2009 at 7:43 PM

Sadly, the "Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit" rhyme comes to mind. We were rather unsophisticated children! Thanks!
