National holidays that we didn’t know existed are constantly popping up on our newsfeeds and since we loved making the list of such holidays with the greeting cards to go along with them for the month of July — so much — we decided such a list was a must for the month of August. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate National Underwear Day anyway? Don’t answer that.

21 Summer Brunch Ideas for 2022
The sun is out, the pool cover is off and the kids are begging to go to the beach every chance they get (which is every other second considering they’re not in school).

Having a new tiny person around is hard work which is why baby apps can come in handy.

9 Random Acts of Kindness To Do Right Now
Being kind to people isn’t the first thing on everyone’s to-do list. That’s pretty unfortunate, but we’re here to say being kind is easy. There are simple ways you can extend some love to the people you care about with random acts of kindness. Put some good vibes out into your world and do something kind for someone you love (or maybe for someone you don’t even know).
Not sure where to start? Not to worry, here are 9 ideas to get your brain waves moving in the right direction. And remember, there’s really no cap on how much kindness you can give out. It’s also not necessary to spend time or money on actively showing kindness on a day-to-day basis. Acts like holding the door a little longer for someone struggling with a bunch of boxes or letting a mom and her kids go in front of you at the coffee line because she could probably stand to get a break that morning. These small acts of kindness may not seem like a whole lot, but it will no doubt affect someone’s entire day. You have that power. Continue reading
6 Out of the Box Ideas To Show Mom You Care This Mother’s Day
Showing mom you care this Mother’s Day is easy with a plan of action. Did you end up waiting until the very last moment to think of something special last year? Don’t make the same mistake twice. You may just end up buying mom flowers at the corner convenience store. And while there’s nothing wrong with giving mom flowers on Mother’s Day (really, go ahead and give mom that bouquet), that shouldn’t be the only thing you do. Think about all the times that mom went out of her way to make sure you had a special birthday or a special first day of school. Think about all those cookies she had baked so that you could come home to something sweet. There’s probably more times than you can remember to count. Return the favor by doing something truly out-of-the-box-spectacular this year that lets mom know you really care.
10 Cute Easter Cards & a Handy Spring Activities Checklist
Easter is Sunday, April 1st and we’re already starting to feel all the pastel chocolate-y feels! Who wouldn’t be excited about chocolate bunnies and best of all — spring! Flowers will be in bloom-mode and that almost always means good moods for everyone. But before we start brunching outdoors and doing spring cleaning, we’ll be celebrating Easter and all the traditions that go along with it. Painting the eggs with the kiddos and Easter egg hunts will be all the rage, but before the celebrations begin Easter greeting cards will need to be mailed. It’s nice to send cards to family and friends that are close by, but even better to mail Easter cards to those loved ones who aren’t able to spend the holiday with us. Remember to place your Easter greeting cards into the mail with enough time to allow them to reach the recipients. Usually, a week or so in advance is perfect timing. Continue reading
13 Photo Save the Dates to Add Your Engagement Photos
You probably spent a whole lot of time picking out the perfect wedding photographer and choosing the perfect outfit for your engagement photos. Why not use the new photos on your photo save the dates? As much fun as it is to share those new photos on Instagram, adding them to your save the date cards will probably put them on your friends’ and family’s coveted fridges!
But how will you ever choose?
Your wedding photographer has likely sent you more photos than you know what to do with. If you whittle down your photos to your top 5, you can then play around with different photo save the date templates and see which one you like the best.
Remember, whatever photo and card template you choose, make sure to keep it in theme with the rest of your wedding. If you’re going for a beach themed wedding using winter themed save the date cards will not make any sense. At the end of the day, however, you do you. You don’t have to follow any strict rules, if you see a design that you absolutely love. Use it. Continue reading
