The holidays can become a craze of parties, shopping and meals with family and friends that often times it can become hard to get everything done in a timely manner. One thing that I don’t have to worry about this year is making my holiday cards! With Basic Invite holiday card making, and sending, is so easy. Also right now through the end of this month you can get 15% off everything on their site!

It is so easy to make any stationary that you want on their website and I am going to walk you through the process step by step.

I was compensated for my review however all my opinions and thoughts are my own. You can see my full disclosures HERE.

Second: Chose which card you love. They have so many different types of cards to chose from. Don’t see one you are in love with? Customize your very own! I picked this one out pictured below that I absolutely loved. I added my own text to personalize it and changed the font text to one of my liking and changed up some of the colors.

The color and font choices are almost limitless which makes customizing your card or invitation easier then ever! There are over 180 different color options so I know that you will find exactly what you are looking for.

Third: Add a photo if you want! I wanted to make a photo Christmas card for our loved ones so I uploaded my own photo.

Fourth: Finalize and place your order!

This address book is also stored in your account for future use.

    We always ordered our holiday cards. We’d hire a photographer, take some pics, etc. It tends to be a little pricey. This service seems a lot easier and less expensive.

No matter how crappy you think your day is going to be; wake up and set you mind to a more positive way of thinking. 
I can’t tell you how many times this thought process has gotten me through rough days at work, with the kids or even when I’m just feeling incredibly overwhelmed. 

Tell me how do you create a beautiful mindset?

I’m so thankful to have passed on my love for reading to both my children and here are some of Avery’s favorite books on display. Beekle, Raz & Benz and Strictly no Elephants are Avery’s favs and we read them on repeat every night. I’ll link the books in my stories.

Getting photos with the kids is hard and the majority of the time I’m doing it by myself. 
I rely on my camera, tripod and timer to snap these shots and anyone who knows this method can relate to it taking many shots to get something resembling what your initial idea was.

In fact: you can create a fun Easter basket for your kiddos that is inexpensive (and last minute if that’s your thing). 
Things I grabbed for Avery’s basket this year:
1. Chalk (Target dollar spot)
2. Sunglasses 
3. Water bottle 
4. Bubble wands
5. Socks (because what kid doesn’t love socks)
6. Plastic eggs with candy and coins 
7. Chocolate bunny 
8. Spring outfit 

For inspo on older kid’s Easter Basket ideas, make sure to check out my latest blog post (link in bio). 

That’s it! Quick, easy and the total cost was minimal.

3 years ago, this little one came into this world 3 years ago, this little one came into this world in a whirlwind and has kept us guessing and on our toes ever since. 
She loves reading, hiking, riding her bike, jumping on and off a thing, playing with her siblings and friends and Paw Patrol. 
Happy birthday Avery; life is that much better and just a little crazier with you around and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one i Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one is nothing but pure joy with a little bit of caffeine thrown in to help keep me fueled. 

It is also the perfect time to pair your favorite @dunkin beverage with a snack. With options from Avocado Toast (my favorite), to a Grilled Cheese or Stuffed Croissant (Hayden’s favorite) or even a chocolate glazed donut (Avery’s favorite), there is something for everyone. And until April 27th, you can snag any size Cold Brew for just $3 with your Perks membership in Maine and Vermont. So, make sure to sign up today!!
So a big @dunkin cheers to warmer days, brighter flowers and spending more time outside with a coffee in one hand and a snack in the other. 

What are you looking forward to most about springtime?

I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; how I manage kid’s schedules, work schedules, graduate school and blogging all at once.

Here’s the truth: I don’t. 

I am the least organized person you will meet. I have calendars everywhere and a planner filled with post it reminders and lists. The fact that we make it places on time, I get my school work done and meet deadlines for myself and brands is a small miracle with a little last minute panic thrown in when I remember something I forgot. 
So today I sat down. Updated my life and organized the next couple months so things feel a little bit calmer. Here’s to hoping this small bit of sanity continues. 

What do you do to keep you and your family organized?
