December 16, 2011
This post is only for some of you. For the elite, super special group of ladies out there who have had their ever-living butts kicked in the month of December and still haven’t sent our Christmas cards. To those of you who managed to get your cards ordered, neatly addressed and in the mail already (i.e. Most of my girlfriends) - move along, you little holiday over-achievers! I’m sure you’ve probably finished your Christmas shopping and have everything wrapped and under the tree too! I’m not even going to try and hide my jealousy over your superior time management skills.
But here’s the good news for those of you, who like me, are still getting their act together - My friends at Minted.com have you covered. I created and ordered our Christmas cards only 2 days ago and I just got a notice that they were already shipped and headed to my door. (How’s that for fast turn around?!)
They even have Happy New Year cards which I seriously (SERIOUSLY) considered ordering instead of Christmas ones, as I’m only semi-sure that I’m going to be able to address these bad boys before December 25th.
Minted has graciously agreed to provide $50 in credit to one Dear Baby Reader for cards on their site. They have one of the most beautiful selections available of customizable holiday, wedding, baby announcement, and party cards. I’ll draw a winner first thing Monday morning so that you can use it before the holidays if needed!
To Enter, leave a comment below and tell me if you’re a Holiday Over Acheiver or a Holiday Under Achiver and give me an example of why.  And for you, H.U.A’s out there like me - don’t you fret ladies, we still have one whole week left to pull it together!! (Anyone care to join me on a panicked trip to Target?) Even if we don’t get it all done - WHO CARES - grab a cup of spiked cider and enjoy the time with family!
Happy Holidays and Good luck!
Love,
M

  3. mollysueschwarz said: I just had a baby 2 weeks ago. My son is about to turn 3 on Monday. I barely got a tree trimmed. I’m treading water here! I’d love to have something to present to my family and friends, even if it’s in time for the new year!
  4. ilovebean said: I ordered from Minted for my cards this year too and they are gorgeous. I got them SUPER-fast, too. Beautiful card/photo, BTW. :)
  5. viewfrom216 said: I would consider myself a Holiday Over Achiever. While I don’t think I’m going to get cards in the mail and I’ll still be wrapping Christmas Eve….it’s because, I made most of my children’s gifts, and made many gifts for my family members as well.

Hello. I'm Melissa.

Wife to a rock n roll, super dad named Brent.

We're the adventuring type. Go. do. See.
We hit the jackpot when we had our daughter, Everly Veda in January 2010.
She has my eyes, his lips and a San Francisco heart.

In May 2011, we welcomed Arlo Redding, the most magical little dude ever into our family. His presence has made our good thing, even better.

We like old stuff and keeping it simple.
We believe in love, family and a good pair of cowboy boots.

Brent sings songs.
I write words.
And these sweet babies make our world go round.

Welcome.
