    February 3, 2021 /

    Well, here we are again. Today, I refuse to say anything about how things sure are different this year. I am getting tired of hearing that worn old story. Aren’t you?

    Celebrate All Your Loves This Valentine’s Day

    February 12, 2019 /

    “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” – Audrey Hepburn has a lot of great quotes, but this one is my favourite.  What could be more worthy of celebrating than love? Lately I’ve been thinking about love. There’s love for your husband or wife, significant other; love of your children, your family, parents, and friends. Love of yourself matters too.  There are so many different kinds of love, but ultimately love is the thing that motivates us every day. We search for it, and sometimes we let it slip through our fingers, but on Valentine’s Day the best thing to do is celebrate it. This year I have…

    DIY Printable Pirate Valentines for Kids

    February 2, 2019 /

    ARGH Matey, Pirates are the best. Pirate Valentines are the perfect simple cards for your child to give this year. What child hasn’t been captivated at least once in their childhood by pirates and treasure, adventure and gold? When I was a child I loved Valentine’s Day. There was something so sweet about making special cards for all of your friends and schoolmates and hand delivering them. Then there were always the school crafts. I loved making the cute little Valentine’s mailboxes or envelopes that we hung off of our desks. Something so incredibly simple but I still recall doing that today. You can borrow these Pirate Valentines and print…

    Sometimes Love is a Card – Hallmark Seven Card Challenge Giveaway #LoveHallmarkCa

    September 7, 2015 /

    When I was young I never understood the power of a card. I got several every year, marking each special occasion in my life. But what did they represent? I didn’t really understand until I became a Mom. Now I get it. Sometimes Love is a card. My own Mom penned many beautiful cards for me over the years. I have several I have kept. Now that she is gone, they are visual reminders of how much she loved me and how often she thought about both of her kids, and her grandchildren too. The card aisle at the grocery store, to this day, reminds me of her. I once…

    Best Business Stationery – My New Year’s Cards

    January 15, 2015 /

    I was a tiny bit late with Christmas cards this year. But I didn’t want to give up on my idea of sending cards out still. Last year I chose Minted.com to make a fun family photo into a business-y post card to send to contacts and former clients. I kind of loved the idea still and wanted to make a business holiday card. In 2014, I think that business postcard was really well received and I enjoyed sending it. There is obvious merit in thanking former clients for their business. It’s nice, classy and it also serves to remind people I am still available to help with social strategy. This…
