More from today
Wishing you a beautiful leave. May the baby be calm, the recovery be quick, and the support be steady.
Best of luck on the leave. The next few months will be wild. The next few years will be wilder. The next few decades will be the most rewarding of your life. Start strong.
Maternity leave farewell. The team will miss you. The team will manage. The team is rooting for you and the baby. All true at once.
Wishing you well on the leave. May the maternity leave actually feel like leave — not a working-from-home arrangement in disguise.
Best wishes on the maternity leave. The job is on hold. The motherhood is on. The priorities have correctly reordered themselves.
Maternity leave farewell. May the baby be the joy you've been imagining. May the early weeks be survivable. May the support be generous.
Wishing you everything good as you start this leave. The baby is coming. The chapter is opening. The team is excited for you, and slightly nervous for ourselves.
Best of luck on the leave. May the email auto-reply work properly. (And yes, you really can leave it on for the whole twelve weeks.)
Maternity leave farewell, colleague. May the maternity leave be everything maternity leave is supposed to be — slow, baby-centered, and not interrupted by work.
Wishing you well as you start this chapter. The team will hold the line. The baby will hold your heart. Be where you need to be, fully.
Best wishes on the maternity leave. The job will be here when (and if) you're ready. The baby comes first. We get it. We support it. Go enjoy it.
Happy birthday, husband. Another year of you being the one who walks into the room and asks where his keys are. Iconic.
Birthday wishes for the man who has, after all these years, still not learned to put the cap back on the toothpaste. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday, my husband. The candles on the cake are also a small fire hazard now. We've informed the building.
Birthday card for my husband: a hand-drawn ode to your continued ability to leave wet towels on the bed. Happy birthday.
Happy birthday. You don't look a day over forty. Mostly because the lighting in our bathroom is incredibly forgiving.
Birthday wishes for the husband who has, despite decades of marriage, still not figured out the correct way to load a dishwasher.
Happy birthday, husband. May your hair hold, your knees not click yet, and your back let you bend down without an audible noise. (Asking a lot.)
Another year survived. The dad bod is real. The dad jokes are real. The dad nap on the couch is, somehow, the most reliable thing in your life. Happy birthday.
