Mixed Prints Life

One of my favorite ways to bless someone is to pay for the person behind you at a drive-thru.  I decided to snag a cup of iced coffee before work and vowed to pay for the person behind me, regardless of price. Of course, of all the people to pull up, it was a man in a very nice looking… View Post

Happy December! As the official countdown to Christmas begins and advent is in full swing, I thought I’d try to implement a neat blog idea that I found on Pinterest. Throughout the days leading up to Christmas, you and your family do Random Acts of Christmas Kindness. They can be whatever you imagine! I started things out fairly simply this year with two wrapped… View Post

The blog has been eerily quiet these past few weeks and I apologize for that! With the Christmas season upon us, I promise to be a bit more “present” (haha).  The past month has held a lot for us – from Jack’s Dedication to Thanksgiving to down-and-out sickness, we’ve been busy! The other aspect of our life that makes things… View Post

I can hardly believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner (literally)! Our lives are moving about one thousand miles a minute and I promise to get some semblance of order to this blog SOON! Until then, just a few snippets as to what’s happening in our neck of the woods. DaddyFinished the Marathon, helps a TON around the house,… View Post

Their cards are a thick quality and look beautiful – especially once the finishing touch of a photograph is added.  With a great selection of Christmas cards, Tiny Prints is the premier place to find your Christmas greetings! I thought I’d highlight a few… View Post

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind and extremely busy! Over the next few weeks, I plan to catch up on the blog before the holidays to keep you posted about what we are doing! Until then, what are your Thanksgiving traditions?

A few weeks ago, I posted here about having our family pictures taken at the Morton Arboretum.  I can hardly wait to start fitting those pictures into an awesome Christmas card for this year! I thought I’d take the chance to go over a few of my favorites! Shutterfly is the same service I used last year. The cards were printed… View Post

Piggy-backing on an idea from here, we are participating as a family each evening. I made up this little tin bucket and filled it with blank Popsicle sticks and three different colored markers. Each evening, I plan to have the three speaking members of our family talk about what they are thankful for. I plan to write each person’s down in “their” color as… View Post

After much discussion, we finally settled on *the* costumes for the year. Considering our family blog (and Charlie’s OBSESSION with the Great Pumpkin), we figured this would be a perfect fit!  This Snoopy played music and delighted those who passed us by!  Our little Woodstock! (Thanks, Momma for helping with the costume!)  Jack with his treats!  Our nephew, Jasie, as… View Post
