This week several things brought me joy, but here are 3 of them! Monday was Valentine’s Day so I had the fam put on some pink and red ❤️ We kept celebrations low-key with cooking dinner at home and relaxing! I also rocked a great Valentine’s Day nail polish combo 🤍After finishing the last book I was reading I dove into a new one and started the first book in...
I realized that I hadn't printed photos for quite some time, and had a selection of photos from the holidays, autumn and early summer that I wanted to get printed. We included many photos in our holiday collage cards that went out to friends and family, but I always like to have printed images on hand. I downloaded the snapfish app and actually got the 100 prints for free (just...
The back of the envelope is the first thing the person sees before opening a card. I’m a huge fan of decorating the backs of envelopes with stickers. They could be theme related or just bright and colorful ones!
In an effort to eat healthy, I’m really excited when I find a recipe for a meal that makes a big batch and can be eaten all week. Earlier this week I made this bean and rice salad full of fresh veggies and it is so easy and delicious! Definitely made lunches in the middle of the work day easier. The dry and cold winter air has been super harsh...
Planning ahead is something that is important to me in terms of sending greeting cards. Before a new month begins I always look ahead to the next few weeks to see what holidays or birthdays might be coming up. I also look to see if there are specific instances I'll need certain greeting cards - for instance weddings, baby showers, or birthday parties! Looking ahead helps me to know...
These cold winter days can get long, but I'm making an effort to enjoy the little things and appreciate joys each day. Here are a few of the things that brought me joy this past week! My friend Alyssa has recently gotten into making candles and has made some that truly smell amazing! I've burned through several different scents, but Pine Berry from her winter collection is one of my...
Today’s Mail Idea is all about being prepared! I encourage you to always keep some stamps on hand for when you want to send that birthday or thank you card. It’s much easier to have a sheet or two with fun designs at your hand than having to stop by the post office each time you need a stamp. I just order these sets off USPS.com and they arrived quickly...
Hello friends! It's been awhile since my last update (yikes, Summer 2019?!).
June and July were very busy months as summer kicked into full swing! We spent a lot of time with family and friends, crossed off more things on our "wedding to-do list", and took the opportunity to get outside and enjoy the days when we could. Shawn's birthday is in early June and I took the day off to spend with him. We went for a nice bike ride around Como...
April and May proved to be very busy and fun months as we moved from Spring into Summer. We had many family celebrations, including celebrating a family birthday at Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit in Northeast Minneapolis. We had lots of great food and drinks. We also celebrated our niece Hazel's first birthday and our other niece's graduation from preschool. April was National Letter Writing Month, and I once again took part...
It's always such a nice sign of spring in March when the snow starts melting and warmer days and more sunshine are around. It's been a full month and I look forward to the coming months with more warmer days ahead! We started the month by having our food tasting at Jax Cafe for #thislittleweddingofours ! It was a fun date night and we loved how the matchbooks were all...
The first two months of 2019 have been busy, but filled with lots of fun things! We ended 2018 with a small gathering at my cousin's house, and while we tried to make it to midnight, my sleep loving self was home and in bed before midnight struck. But it was a fun evening with yummy food and drinks! The holidays and new year always bring in friends and family...
