simply loving | first holiday edition

it was a fairly quiet weekend over here at the monaco home, and it was much needed by all. we watched movies, had dance parties, organized our spaces, made homemade soup and spent time together. september and october were both whirlwinds and i have learned that i need time spent hibernating alone with a slower rhythm to recover. i am thinking ahead at simple ideas to make this season special without (hopefully) over- scheduling our family. i want it to be memorable and intentional while focusing on the most important parts: making, gathering, giving, resting, caring, appreciating, reflecting, and remembering.
minted is my go-to for holiday cards because of the quality, the design options and because they print your addresses onto the envelopes for free (with the prettiest fonts) … so when they arrive, you can just stuff and send. i plan to use them again this year, but if you would like to get a jump start, enjoy 30% off your holiday card order plus free shipping with this link
