I am not ashamed to admit that this year I sent 'Happy New Year' cards.
I did it for a number of reasons - first, I did not have a good
photo that everyone agreed was Christmas card worthy -
Mom's of small children, hear me now……enjoy the days
where YOU and you alone choose the photo YOU like best -
without hearing, "ooh, you CANNOT send THAT photo out, I
look soooooo gross in that picture"…..
And the second and final reason I sent a New Year's card was
that I just didn't have my sh*t together……And as the song goes,
I 'let it go', 'let it go'……
Pictured above is the front of the card that was sent to our peeps on
approximately January 15th. I love this photo of my girls because
it sums up their personalities to a 'T'. My 16 year old
is big hugger, lover, and overall touchy/feel-y girl - her sister, not
so much…thus the pose! My 16 year old got her braces off about
a week after this photo was taken…right in time for her
sister to get hers on…next week - cha$ching!
While I love this photo, I sometimes long for the days when I got
to choose their outfits, hairstyles and had time for a proper
photo shoot…….ah, the good old days!
I was grateful for Minted.com and the fact they had SO
many great New Year's cards to choose from for all us slackers!
