i know it’s early but it feels soooo good to be i know it’s early but it feels soooo good to be done with one less holiday task! we got our holiday cards from @minted and they make so many beautiful designs, i didn’t even feel the need to have nice photos taken! they have incredible quality, ship so quickly, and come with FREE recipient addressed envelopes! 

i usually love to handwrite my holiday cards but i just do not have the energy this year, i used the @minted app to scan all the addresses i’ve kept in a notebook for years, and now I WILL NEVER HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN! they’re just in my address book so i can do it year after year!

if you want the link for this design and a bunch of other favorites, comment HOLIDAY and i’ll send em straight to your dms! 

and you can use code ALMOSTMAKESPERFECT for 20% off Minted stationery & gifts!*
*exclusions apply. valid through 12/31

i am so so happy with how it turned out, we spend most of our time in the backyard but to be able to sit here and wave off arlo every morning (while the actual school bus picks him up directly from our driveway because we live in a small town like a hallmark movie) brings me real joy!
raise your hand if “wee sing” is also still fo raise your hand if “wee sing” is also still forever engrained into your brain 👋 i showed the kids this year and now they love it just as much, as soon as i gave izzy her red dress she asked if she could get on the table and be sally hahah 

decided this year we’d postpone a party and do a real one on her half birthday when she has more friends (we’ll see if i end up bothering!)

instead we took her to nyc for the day and just threw her this sweet little birthday at home 🎈

if you want the links for the party supplies, just comment WANT and i’ll send em straight to your dms!
