Rise and Shine is my way of starting the day with you – almost as if we’re chatting over a hot cup of coffee or tea! I share my favorite deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help you save time, money or energy. Published in the morning on Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How are you doing today? I hope your morning is off to a good start. Yesterday was a busy day of playing catch-up for me. After getting the kids on the bus I shoveled the driveway – fourth day in a row we’d had snow – and then I kept busy with work and chores most of the day.
Today I NEED to create and order Christmas cards (anyone else still need to do this?) – it’s at the top of my list. The deals this year for cards don’t seem very awesome, I’ve been looking! I think I’ll go with Minted.com – they have my favorite designs and I really like the quality.
This weekend we plan to make holiday cookies. When my kids were younger I hosted a cookie decorating party for my son’s preschool friends. It was such a fun time – I need to do this again! In my post, I share tips for how to host a successful cookie decorating party – it can be a great way to celebrate the holidays.
Speaking of celebrating the holidays, yesterday I shared a post full of delicious holiday recipes using Lucerne® Dairy Farms from Safeway, whose products are exclusively found at Safeway, to share some holiday recipes I think you’ll love.
The idea of a family vacation is super appealing to me. Getting to spend quality time with family (and friends) who I don’t get to see often, all while creating special memories! But the idea of planning or organizing a big family vacation is a bit intimidating with everybody’s needs and wants on the table. My friend Sabrina Tinius wrote a blog post about 4 Reasons Why Disney Cruises are GREAT for Extended FAMILY vacations – and I think it’s genius – for all the reasons she lists in the post. I especially love that as a Disney Vacation planner Sabrina would be the point person for everybody’s requests and needs – so no family member is carrying that burden!
Yesterday morning I launched a giveaway for a LuLaRoe shirt! Join my Facebook Group LuLaRoe LuLaShow Heather Clarke and you can enter to win! I’m giving away all my favorite things this week. . . .
I hope you have a wonderful day!

For this deal you need to plan a little ahead, but I get my cards every year from Costco. In their Nov coupon book, they have $5 off a bundle of 50, making each bundle only $10. The variety is a bit limited compared to other sites, but the quality is great, and you can’t beat the price!
Leona says
I took advantage of Shutterfly codes that I received to get free Christmas cards as well as a free calendar, magnet, ornament and address labels. Somehow I had a code for free shipping…. Or another great idea is to create cards from free or cheap prints like at Walgreens. You can create a personal message on the back… And the dollar store for the envelopes.
Joleen Hiler says
I ordered my cards thru a Groupon called photo affection. It was my 2nd time ordering from them SUCH a bargain and superb quality!! And fast shipping!
Kristin says
FYI, for holiday cards keep you eye out for the Groupon to Zazzle that comes out every year. I buy it every year, and the cards are gorgeous.
