Balloons for Mom

Each year the girls and I like to write my mom a note and send it to her on balloons. We tell her a little something about our lives and then let the balloons go. 


This year we picked lavender balloons for her. The wind was a little crazy and the notes were weighing down the balloons. I must say we had several laughs while launching those notes and balloons. 


I think my mom probably enjoyed the laughs as much as we did.

And, away they go!

Love you, mom!

  1. We write on the actual balloon but I love the tradition. It makes the day seem a little lighter.

    1. Great idea to write on the balloons. Always love for her to have a current photo of us. Maybe I could tape them to the balloon next year!

  2. Maybe you could put the photo inside before you have the balloon blown up?? Although if your way works when the wind cooperates, I'd stick with it because I like your post cards:)

  3. Love the idea of the pictures inside the balloon! Hope I can remember that for next year. Thanks, Christol.
