Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
A Christmas tree farm and each other were all we needed to squeeze in a picture for Christmas cards this year. It really is the best time of year to capture the changes each year brings. It’s also the perfect reason to send snail mail to the ones you love.The best part of creating our Tiny Prints Christmas Cards was they did all of the work for us! We uploaded a few pictures to test out which design was our favorite and played around with fonts and colors. It was completely personalized to how we wanted it to look. For those of you who dread addressing each and every envelope (like myself), free customized addressing is available just for you! Eeek! You still have time to order these beauties before Santa comes down the chimney in just 16 more shut-eyes! Capture the moments with the ones you love and have yourself the merriest little Christmas from our family to yours!
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me: two turtle doves. Two turtle doves sound sweet but I think a Christmas pillow cover sounds a little more enticing. And that’s exactly what one lucky winner is going to get on day two! 😉 I had so much fun seeing everyone enter on the first day! I can’t wait to see what today brings. 🙂
What better timing than today to talk about Christmas decor with

It’s all about Christmas traditions today. I’ve realized I want to be really intentional about traditions but I also want to strike a balance of letting them form on their own.
Two. We stop at least once during the holiday season and get a drink from Starbucks. Of course they come in the festive red cups. 🙂 
Three. We read the Christmas story together.
Five. We don’t exchange gifts. Here’s the thing. Like I mentioned, our first Christmas together, we were dating for a month and exchanged gifts. It was so fun to see what each other picked out, especially so early on.I bought Eric a watch and Eric bought me a blue and white striped blanket because I have an obsession with blue and white stripes. I also love a cozy, soft blanket to sleep with, sit on the couch with, or really just cuddle up with. He would spray it with his cologne before he left to head home since we lived two hours apart. It was extremely sweet and as I type this post, I’m cozied up with it. He also wrapped it in peppermint wrapping paper because I love all things peppermint. I basically knew I would marry him at that point. 😉
What’s a girl to do when her curiosity is running wild and she just wants to give what everyone is raving about a try? Give in. Sometimes it’s A-OK to do just that. 🙂 A few months ago I gradually started using essential oils. Since I wasn’t sure about which oils I would use the most, and knew I wanted to try diffusing some of them, I splurged and bought the starter kit. However, when I realized the value of the kit, it definitely wasn’t a splurge. It was a steal! I received 11 oils, a diffuser, samples, magazine and a free oil from that month in the starter kit! The price of about three oils and the diffuser is the entire price of the kit. Today through Sunday I’m offering a $15 credit on any order of Essential Oils when you buy a starter kit from me!
