Lately: Fall Happenings
Sorry I've been so irregular with my postings lately...life is just plain crazy with a capital C! I think between working full-time, wrangling two boys, and trying to keep my sanity--life is pretty chaotic. But I love this little piece of the internet--so thanks for those of you who are still checking in! I hope to be better about posting more regularly soon.
So what have we been up to? We've been trying to take advantage of the cool, crisp fall weather on the weekends. We took a trip to Apple Hill, saw the fish spawning, have hung out with friends, and just really tried to embrace the season. Since Wyatt was born in January, this is his first holiday season, so I want to be sure to document as much as possible.
This is our newest carrier c/o Chicco--it's the Close To You Carrier that can face in or out on front and also can carry him on the back. I think I like it as a backpack best...Wyatt fell right asleep back there on our last walk.
Wyatt is just getting old enough to take a bath with Ethan--though the stress of keeping an eye on Ethan so he doesn't bulldoze Wyatt freaks me out. One thing we added was these Puj bath treads, which seem to help.
Matching Halloween jammie photo fail!
So that's the latest!! What have you been up to this fall?

Tips for Planning Your Holiday Card + GIVEAWAY!
In the past, I always used to take our family holiday photo, then pick out my card. I felt like, if my picture was perfect, there was sure to a perfect card match. But, I've learned over the last several years, that trying to fit a picture into a card, can be very challenging, and often results in my having to compromise on the ideal card. So hopefully this post helps you plan ahead to ensure that you get the perfect photo and card this holiday season!
And as a disclaimer, I absolutely love holiday cards...I send one out every year and love getting them in the mail! You can check out my past cards here and here!
Here are my top three tips:
Plan an outfit color scheme with your card choices in mind:
Most cards offer multiple color schemes, but it can really sway the direction you go in, relative to a card choice.
Think about space and communicate to your photographer:
You can see that if this photo was centered {the way photos traditionally are}, that this card and the one below, would not work.
Consider candid shots...they often times show the "real" side of your family and are a joy to look back on.
I should take my own advise on this one, but how fun are the cute shots that are more "in the moment"?
So, how do you go about picking your perfect card?
As another disclaimer, I should mention that all of the cards shown above are from Minted and it's my go-to site for all-things related to cards, whether it's holiday, birthday or birth announcement. Their designs and customer service really are the best.
And with that being said, I'm thrilled to offer TWO of you the chance to win $150 towards your holiday card this season {or whatever else you fancy on their site...they have great prints and party decor too!}.
