Every year after I spend half the day trying to get myself ready, and then wrangling my four kids and my husband for our annual holiday card family photo extravaganza, I vow to do something different the next year. I have found it! With …
One of my favorite holiday traditions is sending and receiving cards in the mail -- especially the photo kind. (I can't possibly be the only one. Who doesn't love getting real mail? And photos? Everyone does!) It's the best part of Decem…
This year, I planned on getting my holiday cards out with plenty of time and all of a sudden it's Christmas week . Good thing there's a service that lets me send out cards--really, professionally designed holiday cards--digitally. Not on…
I cringed on that day back in October when holiday cards replaced an aisle of Halloween costumes. It's not that I dislike the holiday season or have a soft spot for grown men dressed as plates of spaghetti. It's just that the cards were …
Is there a single mom who isn't stressed out by holiday cards? Like I don't already have enough to do, let alone trying to find one picture where everyone in the family looks halfway decent and then praying that the photo cards we order …
I love the idea of giving out a little something more than a holiday card to my friends and family. Of course, I wish I could give everyone a gift, but since money doesn't grow on trees, here's another idea. [don't miss a great offer aft…
I'm dreaming of a picture perfect holiday season , like a vintage postcard, with over-sized snowflakes and smiling kids singing songs at my door. I'm also dreaming of taking the perfect holiday photo of my two girls and they'll both smil…
At the first sign of snow, every parent in our neighborhood bundles up their little dumplings and runs outside with three or four cameras-- because it's Georgia, and we go crazy over a little snow. But when we get back inside, the photos…
My birthday is coming up tomorrow (happy birthday me!) which means I have cards on the brain. If not in the mailbox. As much as I love ecards and send them with abandon, there's still something nice about getting something in the mail th…
So once again it is December 23, and once again I have not yet ordered my holiday cards. Which means--once again--it's New Year's card time! If you're in my boat, I happen to really like this Peace Love Joy holiday photo card which feels…
Every year we send special holiday cards to our close friends and family, so I'm always on the look out for cool, unique alternatives to the traditional Hallmark cards - like these festive letterpress and wood cards from Night Owl Paper …
There is nothing that beats the convenience of digital photo cards printed out at your local drugstore, but for something a little more distinctive, you have to check out the new digital holiday cards from Hello Lucky . The Moyle sisters…
I love how my little artists fearlessly choose their colors to create a purple tree under a green cloud, or how a bunch of stick figures can end up looking just like our family; they blow me away every time. RedStamp has one of my favori…
I have to admit I'm a bit of an iPhone app addict, but even though the number of smart phone apps are growing into the hundreds of thousands I generally think that there are only a dozen or two that are worthwhile. The Dr. Seuss Camera--…
The answer to my not enough time during the holidays to breathe let alone send cards prayers has arrived in my inbox just in time for Christmas: Paperless Post . Two words that will forever ring more beautifully than the Christmas bells …
Every year I think, Yes, this is the year I am going to get my act together and do holiday cards . But maybe the problem hasn't been my utter lack of motivation, maybe the problem is that I just didn't know about Bumble Ink's cheeky (or …
While you might manage your holiday-based communications via e-cards and virtual greetings, you probably, like me, have a secret print fetish. Thick, creamy paper stock, imprinted with subtle, artsy inks -- in a world of texting, a simpl…
For the past eight holidays, I've sent out standard flat photo cards featuring the kids, and I usually hear a few comments about how much the kids have grown. If I should send out Minted's new Minibook Holiday Cards , I expect my phone w…
I know I'm not alone in looking for more tasteful and restrained displays of holiday cheer after being assaulted by Christmas carols, gaudy lights and huge inflatable snowmen in stores the day after Halloween. Gorgeous simplicity doesn't…
I am so not the type to get my holiday cards picked out much before...oh, say December 26. At which point I call them New Year's cards and figure I've bought myself at least another few weeks to get them addressed and sent. But for you p…
Merry Christmas Cool Moms! Now get off the computer. [card via alternate greetings ]
Shameless holiday card procrastinator #87146B here, hanging head low and admitting that I have not yet picked out our family's holiday cards. Most likely we'll do what I generally do, which is send out New Year's cards instead. But for y…
If you're like me, your baby will be sitting up quite nicely by the time the birth announcements go out. In fact, you might think to yourself, I have to do holiday cards anyway, why not just wait? Why not, indeed? You can do it all this …
