Free stuff??? Bring it!!

Yep. You read right. Thanks to my sis-in-law, Stacey, I have been informed about a way to get free, professional Christmas cards this year! Usually I stand in line at a photo developing kiosk waiting for the machine to become free. Being bumped into by frazzled shoppers that have no idea what they're doing is not my ideal way of spending a Saturday afternoon. Especially when you get the ones that don't know how to operate the thing. So when this amazing opportunity from Shutterfly presented itself, I couldn't turn it down. They are offering 50 FREE Christmas cards for bloggers!


After browsing through the extensive selection of Shutterfly products, I came across calendars. Definitely something to consider for the new year. I'm also thinking about using Shutterfly for birthday invitations next May when Birthdaypalooza hits. I figure that things are so crazy that month, I might as well take any opportunity I can to simplify my work!


But for now, I've got Christmas on the brain and if you read my previous blog snippet, I am in desperate need of Holiday Cheer this year. What better way than to score free Christmas cards, right? If you blog, all you have to do is mention their promotion and cha-ching! You get free cards! And that, my friends is definitely going to help me get into the Christmas spirit. So, check your mailbox soon because you will be seeing some darling pictures of my little men in the coming days, thanks to Shutterfly. :)

Can We Rewind????

Today is December 8th. If my math is correct, that would mean there are 17 days until Christmas. How is that even possible??? I guess I'll go ahead and be honest and admit that I'm not exactly in the Christmas spirit this year. I'm trying but it has snuck up on me and I'm not at all prepared. I have hardly started Christmas shopping, haven't baked a thing, and don't even have the outside lights up. And the only reason I even have time to update this blog is because I'm home sick today. Ahh, the joys of winter. But with all that being said, I'm going to put forth my best effort to attempt to get into the Christmas spirit, for my kids if nothing else. That's what it's about afterall, isn't it?
