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.

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconn I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconnected lately. From my kids and from my husband. It’s made me feel like a terrible mom and partner. 
This pregnancy has been so hard on my body and mind and I have never felt more alone. Maybe because I’m just trying to out a smile on and be happy but most days I’m struggling. Pregnancy after loss is a constant state of anxiety. Filled with feelings of being scared to become too connected with this baby out of fear of something going wrong. 
But I’m trying and with every passing week my heart relaxes just a little bit more. So here’s to the final stretch, the third trimester and to all the other mamas out there struggling with similar feelings I’m sending you so much love. ❤️

I hate this world that my children are growing up I hate this world that my children are growing up in. My heart sinks a little every time I send them off to school or daycare, terrified that something out of my control will happen to them. I can control what they eat, what they watch, who they play with to an extent but I can’t control the unknown. And right now raising children feels a little like walking into the unknown. 

So where do we go from here?
How do we teach our children about kindness, forgiveness and trust when society these days is throwing the exact opposite in their faces? How do we raise children and make them feel safe in a world that feels so heavy? In the last 24 hours I’ve thought to myself, this could be my children and the pain that goes along with just that thought is not even comparable to the pain the families who sent their children off to school to never come home are feeling right now. The sad truth though is that the next time it could be my children, your children, our community, our schools that are effected by a tragedy like this. 
As a parent this is the most terrifying thought of all. 

 Holding my children a little tighter today and every day because this world is an unpredictable place and holding onto hope that change is coming. ❤️
