i love my tiny prints membership!

at least a year ago i won a tiny prints gift certificate in a giveaway but never used it. it got lost among my crazy paper piles until recently when i found it and shifted it from here to there to remind myself to use it. guess what? i finally got around to it...

except i think it was expired because i couldn't get the darn thing to work. i didn't see an expiration date, so i may be checking into that, but while i was poking around the tiny prints website, i discovered that i could purchase a greeting card membership to purchase cards for a discounted price.

at first i was like, "yeah, yeah, whatever!", but then i tried to buy a card at target and realized they are a whopping $5 a card and millions of other people have the exact same one. i don't get to personalize it or even put my own photos. sheesh, no thanks!

through tiny prints, for the annual fee of only $16.99 plus some tax, i can now purchase cards for only $1.99 plus tax. you can choose to have it sent directly to the recipient and pay additional for the price of a stamp, or have it deliver to you and deliver it yourself.

i don't know if you have been to purchase a greeting card recently, but like i said, they are EXPENSIVE. i didn't even buy the card i had chose that day in target.

but then i thought back to that awesome offer at tiny prints and how many cards i buy throughout the year... six kids birthdays, 7 grandparent birthdays, mother's day for 3 moms (i have a step mom), father's day, and then there's our friends, and other random events throughout the year.

but, what i like most about tiny prints is that i can choose a card, customize it (even add photos if i want to), and schedule it to be delivered on a specific date in advance. no more "oops, i forgot!" from me.

recent card i purchased for my dad. i was able to find a card that i could use to include jason & i plus the kids, instead of buying two cards. i was even able to add photos inside, making it a card i know my dad will keep forever.

some people think cards are a waste of money, however, i think they are a perfect way to stay connected and say that you are thinking of someone without spending a whole lot of money. we have six kids! so, unfortunately we can NOT afford to fork over a gift for every special day throughout the year. but, we still want our closest friends and family to know we didn't forget. and now i can do it for a super low price.

be sure to check out tiny prints greeting card membership program to learn more and save money on cards throughout the year.

my new best friend

i might be super late in the game here but i finally got a keurig and i am in love.

i have always been a coffee drinker but hate putting on a pot of coffee.

rinse the pot and the filter holder, add water, add a filter, add coffee, place pot underneath, and then press "go". it's really not that hard, but when you compare it to how much coffee we waste then it seems like a big job. jason drinks way more coffee than i do, but most times don't drink more than one cup each.

i usually don't drink a whole lot of coffee in the summer, unless it is iced coffee, but since i got my keurig, i have been drinking coffee every day.

a few years ago, when i decided i didn't want to ruin my "diet" by drinking all of my calories, i started drinking my coffee black. don't get me wrong, i love a starbucks french vanilla latte or caramel macchiato, but when drinking coffee everyday, i drink it black. it's definitely something to get used to for sure.

i love that it has different cup sizes and that it not only makes coffee, but it makes hot and cold tea, hot chocolate, and iced coffee too. easy to clean up and no wasted coffee. our relationship is off to a beautiful start!

i am telling you, you need one of these!

oh, and just in case you were wondering...my favorite coffee flavor so far is the folgers vanilla biscotti.

do you have a keurig? what is your favorite coffee flavor?
