Shutterfly?

Could it be too good to be true. Shutterfly is offering bloggers 50 free cards for sharing information about them. Sah-weet! I have used Shutterfly in the past and have always been very impressed with their quality and customer service. I've never actually ordered my Christmas cards from them before, so this is something I'm looking forward to.

This links you up to all the awesome designs for their Christmas cards. There are so many designs, how will I ever choose? :)

I'm also big on photo calendars. This is a way to share my kids all year long with my family who lives out of town. Shutterfly offers a great variety of photo calendars shown here.

There's one thing I love about browsing new sites and that's learning about things you normally would have never thought to do. New Years cards are a great way to welcome in the new year while paying respect to the year we're leaving behind

As I said before, it's very important for me and my kids to try to stay as close to family as possible. Even though they are miles away, by sharing photos, calendars, wall canvases and many other photo options, seems to help reduce the miles.

Jumping on the blogging bandwagon

Some days it feels so overwhelming to be a mom/woman/wife. Where does the balance lie? How do you know if you're giving the right amount of time and energy to one thing or another? My kids are my life and at this moment, I feel like I have to give them 100% of me, but I also know that in order to do that I need to take care of me. So I've been working out and have really grown to love it.
