Peep Wreath

Easter just got 100x more exciting.

You can make a peep wreath too!

Tiny Prints

I have already picked out our holiday cards this year, from Minted, as previously discussed. Howevery, if you just realized that its November and you're still looking, I found a new site called Tiny Prints that also offer some great designs. Modern, vintage, sophisticated, or sentimental... SO much cute stuff to choose from.

Minted

Minted.com makes the most flippin' cute holiday cards I think I've ever seen.

I've already (Yes, I know its October) picked out a favorite... which I described to my husband as 'cute' which was a mistake because he automatically vetos anything that can be ascribed with that word.

Nevertheless, I intend to wear him down. Because it has snowmen and our name is Frost. This is a no brainer and a 100 on the cuteness scale, just don't tell him I said that.

Here are some others that I had trouble passing up...

Labor Day Weekend

The Frost Family was in festive mode this weekend.

Drive-in movie, watching Bones on Netflix instant play, Mongolian BBQ, Ticket to Ride, Funfetti Cookies, more Bones on Netflix, a trip to the mountains and some apple picking in Oak Glen, and rosemary bread at Macaroni Grill. Every weekend should be a long weekend!

What did you do for Labor Day?

Caroling Garlands

I know it's jumping the gun a little to start talking about Christmas decorating, but this idea is just too cute, clever, cheap and genius not to share!

Husband - Consider this fair warning that we'll be cutting out lots of letters this holiday season.

Fireworks!

 looooove fireworks. In a big way. I think this is why 4th of July is my 2nd favorite holiday. I also love the red, white and blue color scheme and the blatant excuse to apply it with reckless abandon.

Febgiving

Apparently there is a new holiday called Febgiving.

Here are the simple truths that led to the instigation of Febgiving:

1) February is a terrible month. We need all the love and support we can get just to make it through this godforsaken ice-strewn desert of pain. (This is the sentiment that led to the creation of Italifornia. It's not so much a problem in California, where it was 70 degrees and sunny today, but I sympathize...)

2) Valentine’s Day is a terrible holiday. Couples face artificial pressure to buy things and act “romantic.” Single people are scorned and mocked. Its only real competition for worst holiday of the year is Tax Day. (I second this sentiment... My solution: Don't celebrate Valentines at all. Done.)

3) Thanksgiving Food is delicious. Why should we only eat turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie (etc.) only once a year? (Amen.)

4) Friends are fantastic. (Amen twice.)

Next year, we will celebrate Febgiving.
