Our family Christmas cards are officially en route to some of our favorite people!
We again used Minted this year for our Christmas cards. Honestly, we choose Minted every year not only because of the superior card quality and endless design options…but really…it’s because of the free recipient addressing which saves me SO much time and envelopes.
So without further ado, our 2018 Christmas card…
I wish I could send each and every one of you a card by snail mail too. However, consider this your virtual Christmas card with this little message on the back…
Dear friend,
Whether this is your first visit to my blog or you’ve been reading along since I planned our wedding in 2011, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. This little space of mine has always been my creative outlet where I can pour out my heart and soul sharing the good, the bad and the ugly. I am so humbled by your continued support, prayers and readership. What started as a diary of run-on sentences, too many exclamation points and poor quality photos to share with our friends and family has unexpectedly grown in ways I could never have imagined over the years thanks to you all for visiting day after day and sharing my posts with your friends! Because of YOU I have had the honor of walking alongside and cheering on hundreds of women going through double mastectomies — most of which are not elective, I’ve cried over my keyboard with lots of you who have or are in the process of losing a parent, I’ve shared my cell phone number with several moms who have just been slapped in the face with an unexpected cataracts diagnosis for their itty bitty baby and have no one to talk to about it who has been on this extremely rare journey too. Or maybe you’ve finally found a meal here that everyone in your family will eat, that perfect dress to wear to the office or a mommy hack or two! Regardless of what keeps you coming back, THANK YOU. I am so blessed by you all!
Merry Christmas!
Love,
The Marcellinos

I have just found your blog and am in the process of reading through your feed ! I love the way that your blog is like a diary and I get to be nosy and peek inside your daily life . Also looove your product recommendations !
Back when I first started blogging I feel like ALL of the blogs were more like diaries…and i LOVED it too! I miss those kinds of posts these days! Thank you for reading along! 🙂
I so enjoy your blog but certainly don’t fit your usual reader profile. I am a 73-yr-old Grandma who just loves to follow along with your beautiful family, the Friday Faves which I have made use of many times (hair thickeners YAY) and your food ideas. Thank you for all the work you put into every post and happy holidays to you and yours.
I am so happy to have you here as a reader!!! And YAY for hair thickeners! 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!! Love your card. I always enjoy your blog and love that you share a little bit of everything with us. I swear by those 90 degree leggings you recommended and I just bought that Too Faced Peach Perfect foundation to try. I’ve been reading since pre-Caroline and it’s been so fun to follow along with all of your milestones.
Thank you so much for reading all this time!! Those leggings and foundation are two of my favorite things ever!!! Merriest Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas to you and your family! I have read your blog since January 2012 and love following along. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for reading along since my newlywed days! So crazy that I’ve been blogging for so long! Merry Christmas, Lauren!!
Yours is one of my favorites, after so many years. Cheers to a wonderful 2019!
Aw, thank you friend! That means a lot! Cheers!
