This giveaway is now closed. The winners are Carrie and Liza – congratulations!
I love this next giveaway. Le Papier Studio is a sweet little shop I’ve had my eye on for awhile now, since my early days as an Etsy shopper.
Le Papier creates silhouettes as artwork, stationery, invitations, and custom pieces to fit your needs and family style. There are such cute and whimsical silhouettes to choose from – everything from classic to trendy.
If you love the classic look of silhouettes, this is a simple, affordable way to bring it into your home. Plus, I love buying from Etsy, because I love supporting small businesses. Celebrate your family’s uniqueness with customized artwork!
Two Simple Mom readers will win an 8×10 print from Le Papier Studio! You can select any of the silhouettes (and there’s a lot) – you can even add names to the print, if you like. This is truly customized artwork!

This is by far the coolest giveaway ever! If I don’t win, I’m going to have to go buy something from them on Etsy. I might buy something anyway!
And the perfect day with my family would start by sleeping in (which may mean only 8:00 these days!), eating a huge yummy breakfast, then spending the day at the beach playing with my husband and son. Probably we’d have a picnic lunch and then get someone else to make us something yummy to eat while we watch the sunset. Then I’d stay up late chatting with my husband while our son slept in a room nearby.

My perfect day with my family is spent camping. We start camping in March and go through to October. This is our time together without computers, cell phones, video games, ect. I LOVE IT!
lots of snuggles, books read together, a walk with our dog, and a ton of playing together.
Laura´s last blog post…New In The Shop
The perfect day… Sleeping in, hiking in the sunshine, playing in the woods, laughter, dinner and cuddles. I can’t wait ’til summer
Jesica´s last blog post…To Blog or Not to Blog
The perfect day with my family would including hiking in the mountains, a packed lunch, lots of photos and smiles, and then dinner out at our favorite Thai restaurant and finally ALL of us sleeping through the night!
Nikki´s last blog post…What Are We Gonna Eat?!
Spent away from the distrations of home with all 4 boys (that includes dad!)
A perfect day with my family is spent at home, simply hanging out together. And we’ve done just that for the last two days! It’s been wonderful, and so refreshing for us all!
Elizabeth´s last blog post…Iced in Again
Maybe an outing to the zoo or park, a picnic lunch, naps (for all of us!), then playtime outside, dinner from the grill, and early bedtimes for the kids!
All of us at the beach!
Nikki´s last blog post…Jack a.k.a. "Yuck Foot"
go for a run in the morning with my husband, spend the day making homemade past and pasta sauce with my family, then eat it for dinner. FABULOUS!
Then of course admiring my new art on the wall. LOVE THESE!!
A perfect day for my family? The last couple days have been pretty good for me and the kids…stuck inside due to the horrendous ice storm here in OK…the only thing missing was my hubby. Working for a national company’s customer service center means they stay open, regardless of the weather. But me and the kiddos snuggled up in our bed or in front of a crackling fire, watching movies and messing around on the internet…not too shabby!
Heather´s last blog post…Ahhhh….motherhood.
snuggles in bed with my hubby in the morning. a fresh breakfast of oatmeal (or fresh-from-the-oven bagels, i’ve got a weakness for those). a walk in the forest…or down the street. a picnic lunch. afternoon coffee.
really? JUST BEING TOGETHER
jpritchard´s last blog post…southern drawwlllll…..
A perfect day with my husband and five small children: snuggling in bed, lunch at the park, naptime in the afternoon, dinner in our backyard, and then a walk. This would be a non-winter perfect day, I guess.
going for a run together, followed by a walk to starbucks, and picnic lunch at the park or beach, end by eating dinner and watching a movie!
No set plan, just relaxing and having fun, with good food and happy smiles
A lazy, slow morning with a yummy breakfast made at home, followed by a drive somewhere nearby to go bushwalking. Maybe followed by a trip to the movies just for Mum & Dad!!
A perfect day would be exploring someplace new – and would include a restaurant meal since that’s my daughter’s favorite thing in the world.
Easy! A perfect day would be no cares, everything taken care of. No cooking or cleaning for mom… and no fighting for the kids.
Roberta Lander´s last blog post…Happy 12th Birthday to Tori!
My perfect family day is everyone snuggling on the couch reading, cups of tea, dogs at our feet, with the rain hammering on the tin roof outside.
The Accidental Housewife´s last blog post…Pavlova
lounging on the beach!
Heather´s last blog post…Robots in Disguise
A perfect day would be either at the beach or in the mountains, starting with a nice little hike, then a picnic, and then lazing in the sun and snacking off and on throughout a lazy afternoon. I had one of those days in October, when we went to Muir Woods. It was lovely.
What a fun giveaway!
We would go on a walk/ride on a greenway, stop for a picnic, play in the creek, then enjoy an evening concert outdoors while the sunsets.
Ann at mommysecrets´s last blog post…Valentine’s Garland and Scripture Wall Hangings
A perfect day would be spent at the beach with my little boy and husband.
Ruth´s last blog post…"R" Christmas Family Photo 2008
sleep in. big breakfast. walk and play in park. photo shoot. picnic. read. bake cookies.
Perfect day for our family would involve my husband having the entire day off and getting outdoors for some sunshine. I miss sun and warmth right now
Michigan winters are brutal.
Becky´s last blog post…This is what I found
A day at the beach!
A perfect day is lots of time to play outside and a good, long nap!
Make brunch together (the works: pancakes, bacon, eggs, potatoes, coffee, fruit), spend a leisurely morning at home reading, go for a hike in the afternoon, come home and watch a movie together on the couch
I love those silhouettes – I’ve had my eye on them for awhile! Beautiful and so reasonably priced!
My favourite day with family…wow, the truth is it wouldn’t matter so much what we did. I’d just love a day where we don’t feel any need to get anything done – no house cleaning or renovations, no errands, no pressing appointments. It seems these days that our lives are filled with these things and they’re constantly in the background when we’re trying to enjoy our time together.
Jen´s last blog post…We’ve Been Elfed!
oh, these are super cute! A perfect day for me with my boys would be a nice relaxed morning, staying in our PJs, playing with legos or cars or snuggling up together and watching a movie – then yummy lunch and hit the park to wear the kids out before naptime!
Leigh´s last blog post…My New Thing: Letting Go of Guilt
The perfect day for our family would be one where we STAY home and spend time together – playing, baking, doing art projects, maybe watching a movie. Ahhh – I love those days!
Amy´s last blog post…Layout Musings
We love to just be at home and do projects together and then go out for a yummy dinner to end the day!!
My perfect family day would be a day during the summer when we could be outside and relaxing together as a family at the zoo or a park, and have a picnic for lunch.
PJs all day, comfort food and baked goods, a fun crafts project to do together, and cuddling up for a movie at night. Oh, and a two hour nap in the middle of that day.
A perfect day with my family would be hiking in the middle of nowhere. We love sunny weekend days when we can take off and hike to our hearts’ content. It is wonderful to be able to enjoy the blessings we’ve been given by the One who loves us SO much!
Charissa U´s last blog post…Creamy Turkey Vegetable Soup
We love getting snowed in–sipping hot chocolate, enjoying a warm fire, watching movies, playing games, and eating yummy comfort foods.
Julee´s last blog post…Tune in to WordPress.tv
No Terrible Two Tantrums. Any day without those is a banner day!!
Yesterday was a perfect day! A trip to Portland and back with two happy girls in the back seat (no crying an hour into the trip!!).
Betsy´s last blog post…Glimpses: Tea Parties
These are beautiful. A wonderful day with my family includes some together play time and a good nap by my son so mommy and daddy can have some alone time.
I love days where we can play outside as a family and have a picnic and maybe even an art project.
Mindy´s last blog post…I’m a Junkie
A peaceful one. No running errands or cleaning or folding or phone calls, just a day at home, together, enjoying each other.
Joanna´s last blog post…Coloring
Much like today…enjoying freshly fallen snow, playing board games, and trying a new recipe for dinner! A good cup of coffee and soft music doesn’t hurt, either!
hmmmmmmm. there is so much fun to be had, isn’t there? being outside/making good food/everyone having a little time to do their own thing and a lot of time to connect/good music playing/a family dance party… wow, that’s a full day!
jessica´s last blog post…pretzels = love
Hanging out at home looking at old pictures, and playing “family trivia”
Broad strokes of a perfect day with my family:
Papi (dad) is home.
I don’t have to cook but get to enjoy yummy food.
We get to do something outside in the sunshine and warmth preferably.
From expending so much energy outside, kids go to bed on time and easily and hubby and I get the rest of the night alone to watch a movie, eat snacks and talk.
Briana´s last blog post…Here’s what my boys are doing this snowy/icy day…
Any day spent outside together.
Perfect day would be – snuggling in bed. Waffles with whipped cream for breakfast. A simple fun outing…beach, walk around town. DH would knock something off his to-do list, that always makes him happy. Then after the baby goes to bed watching a movie that we’ve wanted to see for a long time. The greatest thing? Sometimes this happens!
Sweet Em´s last blog post…Nothing New
A day in the mountains–having a picnic, hiking, exploring, and ending with relaxing and talking around a campfire or fireplace.
A day at the beach – the kids playing, shade for me and my knitting. And maybe some fried shrimp in there somewhere.
Amy´s last blog post…Another hat
A relaxing day on the beach… not too hot, not too cold. Oh, and no fighting between the kids!
Trisha´s last blog post…iced in
A day with our extended family! We are so blessed to love (and be loved) on both sides of our family. The day would involve lots of food, an outing, lots of laughing, and Grandma watching the kiddo while I take a nap.
Rachel´s last blog post…Mini Scrapbook
I love this question!!! My perfect day with my family is packing the car full of food and drinks and spare clothes and stuff to do (balls sand toys etc) and spending the whole day at the park/beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the little girl blowing bubbles, it doesn’t fit our family because I have all boys but I truly cherish the days where we just sit and do that sort of stuff. I probably do a little too much of it sometimes.
lisa noel´s last blog post…Back in the Bathroom
Beautiful! A perfect day would be sleeping in, eating breakfast together and then spending the entire day outside playing.
A perfect day with my family would mean that all of us were together in one place. We would wake up at a leisurely pace, daddy would make breakfast, the girls would cuddle in bed next to me. We would spend the day at home alone, with all of the phones off. Heaven!
perfect day is everyone sleeping in and waking up happy! then getting breakfast from the taco truck next door and then heading downtown on the bus to walk around and window shop or go to the farmer’s market or eat at a favorite restarurant. then head home and EVERYONE naps … including mom and dad!

Jamie Ivey´s last blog post…meal planning
A perfect day? Going watch our NHL hockey team practice and then get autographs, then a vegetarian meal at our favorite restaurant and a trip to the library, then home for an evening of watching hockey and reading books.
ThereO´s last blog post…Book Review – The Tale of Despereaux
My family right now is just the hubster and I. When we were in college we would go to a nearby lake in the spring before it got too hot in Georgia. We would each bring a book and then we would bring one that we liked reading together. At that time we were reading through all of the Harry Potter novels. When we got bored of reading our individual books or it got too hot we would swim and then let the sun dry us off as he read to me doing a perfect Jim Dale impression.
the kids sleep in a little and we wake up to a clean home, we have a leisurely breakfast, we all lounge around the house… snuggling, playing, reading then we head to the park with a picnic and spend the afternoon at home napping! only happy, obedient kids!
jennifer´s last blog post…Ike is here!
Any day spent with my family is the perfect day! I love days spent at the lake, at the mountains, anywhere!
Tammy´s last blog post…~Showers of Blessings~
The perfect day would not start in the 6′s like most mornings! We would wake up in the 8′s, lounge around until the 10′s, eat until the 12′s, play outside until 2 and then have a family nap until 5 when the doorbell will ring and a hot dinner would be delivered! Great day!
My perfect day with my family, which consists of me, the hubby, and my 18 month old daughter, would start with all three of us piled up in the master bedroom. We would slowly start our day, and spend every minute of it together, doing nothing at all. Perhaps we would even spend nap time together, back in the master bedroom.
Laura Moore´s last blog post…Who doesn’t want a free magazine subscription?
The perfect day with my family would include waking up (late!) with just my husband in bed – as opposed to being pushed out of bed by any of my sweet little bed hogs who have trickled in during the night – and then rolling downstairs for chocolate chip pancakes (the house would be perfectly clean, of course). We would then spend the day playing outside, reading books together, and having my little chefs help prepare dinner. It would end with bubble baths all around and more reading together before bedtime snuggles.
anything OUTSIDE!!!
courtney´s last blog post…ugh
A perfect day with my family begins with everyone sleeping in late. Followed by a big breakfast and then a nice long walk to the park for some playtime. Home for lunch & a 2 hour nap, then off to another family-friendly activity like taking the boat out and fishing. Dinner would consist of making individual pizzas, then all snuggled on the couch for a movie. Aaaahhhhh
A perfect day with my family is one in which all of us are together and out of the house, either outside playing (snow or warm weather) or at a park or the zoo, etc. The kids and I love to get out and have fun.
Kim´s last blog post…Been Awhile
The perfect day with my family would be sleeping in as long as our girls let us (usually only until 7:30 or 8:00), having a pancake breakfast with bacon and eggs over-easy, and then heading to the zoo! Sophie, our 2 year old, is at that age when everything is amazing and exciting, and I love watching her run all around, pointing and “oohh’ing” at the animals. We’d finish up the day at a Mexican restaurant and then home for a movie after putting the girls to bed!!
Susanne Rabus´s last blog post…It’s cold here!
A perfect day with my husband would be visiting somewhere new, anywhere, and spending quality time together without being rushed to do anything else.
No kids here, but a perfect day with hubby is walking the dogs, watching a movie, and cooking a meal together. Ah. Bliss.
Watching a sunrise, sharing part of the day with my family, walking outside, cooking, holding my grandson and watching the sunset.
A perfect day would be one in which my husband doesn’t have to work and can help me care for the boys. Everyone would take their naps and eat their food, and we’d all get to bed early.
We actually had our perfect day just a few weeks ago. We woke up and had pancakes, then packed up the little guy and drove to the beach. Spent a few hours there, drove back and put the kiddo down for a nap while we watched a movie. Ahhhh… That was a good day.
My husband and I picnic-ing with our 2 dogs in a mud-and-mosquito-free environment. Does that exist?
Allison (Dog Mom)´s last blog post…Wordless Wednesday
A perfect day would be a day when the to-do list is already done and we can just enjoy being with each other. The perfect setting would be warm and the scenery beautiful. We’ve been fortunate enough to have several perfect days (or at least as close as we’ll get this side of heaven).
A perfect day would be camping with no mosquitoes. S’mores, sleeping bags, and cool enough weather that snuggling was required.
Amanda´s last blog post…Snow Days
snuggles in the morning, a trip to the park, then more snuggles in the evening
being outside in nature on a beautiful sunny day…
A perfect day is full of all of our family, lots of food, and time spent playing outdoors.
Courtney@BooksNBoys´s last blog post…Frugal & Fun Decorating
Most definitely a perfect family day is one where we’re at the lake house … floating on the pontoon boat, wandering over to the ice cream shop … just being together in the sun and the water.
Alysa Clark´s last blog post…Good News
Riding bikes to the lake and having a picnic
Our perfect day would be a relaxed morning time and breakfast with no where to rush off to. Then a walk in the park and playtime at the playground. Naps in the afternoon, maybe a game or “dance party,” then pizza and a family movie before bed.
A nice breakfast, a hike by the beach and a picnic lunch follwed up by a nice drive and pizza for supper! Who wants to cook after a fun day out with the family?
A perfect day would be hiking, a picnic, finding lots of amazing glimpses of beauty in God’s great world. And no whining
Sleeping in and waking to lots of cuddling in bed. Then getting up and having a huge, hot breakfast. Lounging around in our pj’s until late in the afternoon. Then going to an outdoor music event like a listening to a band on a grassy hill. Spread out a blanket, lay back and look at the stars. Get up and dance and sing. Sip on hot coco or lemonade depending on the weather and munching on cheeses, fruits and chocolates. Then on the way home, stop off for an ice cream cone!
Unexpected sleep in morning, banana pancakes, trip to the zoo, quiet nap time and snuggle movie night.
Miss Mouthy´s last blog post…The FUNNIEST Blog on the Internet
Sleep in, hot breakfast, outing that includes dad, no fighting, dinner out.
sleep in, lots of laughter, yummy food, staying home and playing all together!!
A perfect day with my family would be spent daydreaming in the park. I love spending loads of down time with them.
A few days at Priest Lake camping!
A perfect day is one where we all sleep in, eat a big relaxed breakfast and then do something outside.
Christy@pipandsqueak´s last blog post…35 months
Mmmm so many things come to mind —- but at the moment, how about a day of sledding with hot chocolate at the end
A perfect day with my family would be exploring a new found place, whether that means a park, a hiking trail, a town, or maybe a new restaurant.
The 3 of us are together, we all woke up on the right side of the bed, the day is slow, we take naps. We play, laugh, take naps.
We’ve had days like this…..I guess I just didn’t realize it was the perfect day!
Thanks!
Sara´s last blog post…
waking up on a beautiful cozy day, enjoying eating, singing and being together for the whole day long! and then ending it by going for a walk along the beach and getting take away hot chocolates or icecreams.
amy salinger´s last blog post…Handprint Art
right now a perfect day for my husband and I would be spent planning the arrival of our new baby boy: decorating the nursery and talking about what the future will be like
Francine´s last blog post…I gots the crud
sleeping late and spending the day together going to the park or pool…and if someone else made dinner, it would be even more perfect!
relaxing at home reading books, playing together and working on projects.
Shalae´s last blog post…Let it Rain
Since right now it’s just me hubby and a 30 week bun in the oven, a sweet family time looks like me and hubby at home laughing together (usually playing some funny random game like boggle
) and just enjoying the sweetness of “just us” before our little girl comes. I’m sure sweet family time will only get sweeter after that 
(How many times did I just use the word sweet?)
Laura´s last blog post…Another Giveaway!
We had a perfect day yesterday: hubby took a vacation day as a surprise and we played in our 8 inches of snow that had fallen over night. Warm muffins for breakfast, hot cocoa as a special treat to warm our cold noses when we came in. Lots of laughter, lots of memories. As long as we’re together, it doesn’t really matter what we do in the end.
Love the artwork!
Jammies all morning, being out in the New England autumn all afternoon, coming home to a hot homemade meal, and spending the evening snuggled in fresh jammies reading books. And laughing all day!
A perfect day with my family would be spent at home, relaxing in the morning and enjoying a big breakfast, spending the rest of the day outside in the garden, bird watching or hiking. Luckily, this is how we get to spend most of our summer weekends.
