I love getting holiday cards in the mail. Ok, I love getting mail period. But I especially love holiday cards. I love that little glimpse into my loved ones lives. And I love the wide variety of cards and letters we get. We showcase them all in our entry way and they make me so happy whenever I see them. I always take a minute to look at the smiling faces and read the letters of love and friendship.
Some people go all out and send a card, photo and hand written letter where as others send a simple card of love and holiday cheer. We tend to go the simple route and order photo cards with our (hopefully) smiling faces on them. Here is a look at our Christmas card picture past:

2010's fabulous photo is yet to be determined. But I do know that I will be ordering my Christmas photo cards from Shutterfly. I use them for all of our photo card needs (they have adorable birth announcements!). Here are a few of the designs I am considering this year:
They also have some great photo gifts I have been eyeing up. Wouldn't you love one of these mugs with our smiling mugs on it?! (And a little chocolate never hurts!)

Thankful Thoughts.
Today, on this day of Thanks Giving, I have much to be thankful for. I have an abundant life full of love, laughter, happiness and joy and I know that I take it for granted more often than not.
So in the spirit of the day, I am trying to focus on those things rather than the fact that my house is a mess, I have yet to make my two side dishes, Blogger is being wonky and not letting me start new paragraphs, my two year is being, well, a two year old and this mega snow storm was anything but mega (nothing is more disappointing than a promised snow storm that doesn't deliver. NOTHING).
I am thankful for:
~My family and friends and their love and support.
~ My health.
~A roof over my head and food on my table
~My husband and all that he does for me and our family. I know this is something I take for granted on a daily basis and for that I apologize. Thank you for everything CT.
~My beautiful, amazing daughters who remind me everyday how to love and laugh. And be patient. Some days are better than others, but at the end of the day I love you both more than I could ever imagine and for that I am thankful.
~My other child, Jacob P Jones, whose soft ears and blue eyes are like Prozac to me on the days that my patience is worn thin.
~Dairy-free baked goods. Enough said.
~ My husband's job and the fact that it allows me to stay home with the girls. I can say this in November, ask me in August and my sentiments might not be so loving. ;)
~The internet. I know that sounds incredibly shallow and ridiculous, but without it I would not be able to stay in touch with family and friends who are far away. And I'll be honest, sometimes the internet is my sanity saver. Facebook, The Bump, Craigslist, Allrecipes, CNN, Amazon, YouTube, Hulu, Pandora, I love you all.
Now obviously, this is an abbreviated list, but you get the point. I am blessed. Abundantly blessed.
And now I need to get my thankful butt in gear. Hope you all have a Thanksgiving full of love, family and food!

International Superstar
I meandered over to my blog stats page this afternoon to see what kind of traffic I have had recently. Not that it matters, I just find it interesting. I don't really expect people to read the nonsense I write and the fact that people do kind of blows my mind.
Anywho, I noticed there was an "Audience" tab so I clicked on it and it brings up a list of countries that the people who visit this blog come from. The United States is the most common but get this. Just this week I have had people click on my site from Canada, Denmark, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Iceland, Japan, Georgia, Russia and Latvia! How crazy is that?!
I am sure most of you got here by some random mistake, but hey, I'll take it!
So now I am curious, how did you get here my international friends? I mean, besides the draw of the superbly witty and eloquent writing...
I want.
Have you heard of PlasmaCars?
They are super cool ride on toys that are powered by turning the handle back and forth. No batteries, pedals or gears. These bad boys can go up to 6mph! And they can hold riders up to 220lbs so mom and dad can get in on the action too.
I have always been intrigued by these cars and know that Olive would love one. Ok, I would love one.
I bet you would love one too! So go enter to win one over at The Eco-Friendly Family!
