April's Holiday Card - 2022

I realized that I never shared the holiday card I created for April back in 2022. Her son was totally down for this fun idea and I went to work in Photoshop to make it happen. It was a little tricky getting the lighting right and finding that ventilation shaft photo background. I absolutely love how it turned out.

Yippie ki yay, Merry Christmas.

Also, Die Hard is most definitely a Christmas movie.

Catching up on a post that I never finished a few years ago. Our holiday card from 2022 perfectly summarized the biggest milestones from our year; whether they were travel, taekwondo or track. I was even able to forego doing a typed blurb on the back of the card.

Our Holiday Card - 2024

I love to create holiday cards; especially for my own family. For us, 2024 revolved heavily around the sports my kids play; soccer, taekwondo, track & field, and cross country. Since we managed to get through a whole year with ZERO family photos, our holiday card reflected that.

Valentine's Day 2023

Valentine’s Day arrived this year and my youngest son requested basketball-themed valentines for his school party. For the last few years we have strived to send non-food, non-candy, and allergen-free valentines for school parties, in support of my nephew who has a lot of food allergies, and this year was no exception.

Lunar New Year 2023

Since I married into a Chinese-American family, we celebrate the Lunar New Year with my in-laws every year. Lots of the Chinese traditions revolve around food and what it symbolizes. There are also some superstitions that many who celebrate follow to ensure they will have a healthy and prosperous year.

Land Beyond Zion at Winter Break

My kids and I visited Land Beyond Zion for a few days over winter break. It was a perfect way to chill before getting back to school, even in chilly temps and rain.
