minted 2017 holiday cards :: aSIMPLEchristmas
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is sending cards. I love technology and the ability to keep up on social media, but there’s something special about getting a card in your mailbox from someone you care about.

my most versatile fall to winter sweater
Here in Michigan, winter is. well, mostly here. Mornings start out cold, some days get quite a bit warmer, some days stay cold. It’s hard to know how to dress! I’m not quite to down coats and hats and mittens, but I need something warm, too! I recently got this sweater from Zoozie LA and…
