2017 Free Printable Snack Calendar

Jan 9 2017 by 2 Comments

This 2017 free printable snack calendar is a perfect (and delicious) way to ring in the new year and enjoy all of the coming months! There’s no shame in my snack game.

2017-free-printable-snack-calendar-11Wow. I can’t believe it. After almost a year of taking a break from the blog, I’m officially back (and with an adorable first post, if I might add. This 2017 free printable snack calendar is seriously my life).

The beginning of a new year seems to have a magical effect, doesn’t it? Like you can totally transform into a different person. You can put the past year behind you and move forward with an entirely new outlook, regardless of what the last year had in store for you. That’s exactly how I feel about this new year. It’s a fresh start. Not just for me alone, but for the blog too. It was the perfect time for me to get back into my groove and get me excited again. The blog is my creative outlet where I get to share the things I’m passionate about with all of you guys and I definitely didn’t want to force it when I wasn’t feeling it!

Birthday Calendar Printable

Jan 6 2016 by 2 Comments

Birthday Calendar PrintableThere are a lot of things I want to do in 2016 and a lot of goals I want to meet. Whether or not you are someone that sets “resolutions” or goals for a new year, I still think it’s important to challenge yourself to try new things, break bad habits, or to make improvements to your daily lives, regardless of it being the beginning of a new year or not.

One of the things that I always try to do is to create little highlights in other people’s days. It can be as simple as sending a little note or putting together a care package, just because, to send their way. I’ve found that it can really cheer someone up when they’re having a bad day or when they just need a little pick me up. Plus, it couldn’t be more simple to do!

This year, one of the ways I’m going to go this is to send a birthday card to my friends and family in the mail. Yes, the ACTUAL mail. Not a birthday message on Facebook, not a text message, an actual card that is sent by way of USPS. Crazy, right? (Yes, that is sarcasm at it’s finest).

The days of sending sail mail are definitely behind us and I don’t want to lose out on the highlights that an actual piece of mail can bring. When our mailboxes are usually stuffed with ads, bills, and catalogs, it’s nice to get something else in the mail that you actually want to receive.

I’ve partnered up with Tiny Prints and we’d love to challenge you guys to do the same with the ‘Birthday Card Initiative’ this year for the people in your lives too!

It’s definitely an easy thing to do and I’m making it even easier for you to track all of your upcoming birthdays with a free birthday calendar printable that you can download and print too!

Printable Advent Calendar Gift Tags

Nov 25 2015 by Leave a Comment

Printable Advent Calendar Gift TagsPrintable Advent Calendar Gift TagsI love the idea of an Advent Calendar. A tiny little countdown to Christmas that gets kids and adults alike excited for the upcoming holidays.

I am all about starting new traditions and keeping old ones going and an advent calendar is the perfect way to get into the spirit of the holiday season early, and to do it with family or friends too. (Or alone, if the calendar happens to be filled with chocolates 😉

But, the advent idea can go much farther than just a traditional calendar too. Last year I decided to put together an advent calendar gift for some friends that live farther away that I can’t see as often as I would like. I picked out 25 different gifts, one for each day leading up to Christmas, and then wrapped them and attached different numbers to each package. They opened one gift everyday, starting on December 1st and ending on Christmas!

Printable Advent Calendar Gift TagsI had a blast shopping for each gift, wrapping them all up, picking the order that they’d be opened, and tying on the corresponding tag and ribbon for each day. (The shopping was definitely the most fun).

So this year, I created some modern and fun printable advent calendar gift tags to share, just in case you’ve been bit by the advent bug too and want to spread a little holiday joy for someone this year! And I know that it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but this gift idea does take a little bit more time to plan than a traditional gift, and they all need to be delivered by December 1st, at the latest, so that they can start being opened. (If possible, I like to drop them off a few days before).

Mini Cake Banner Printable

Mini Cake Banner PrintableI definitely don’t need an excuse to celebrate around here.

Hello…my entire blog is based on entertaining, but this week is a special one.

It officially marks Let’s Mingle’s 1/2 birthday!

6 months of posting all things confetti, cake, and entertaining related!

A bit of a stretch for a celebratory post, yeah probably, but it’s still a fun reason to party, and honestly, blogging is hard work, so why not celebrate?

It’s especially hard when you still work a regular job and blog on the side. So a huge shout out to all of the other bloggers holding down a 9-5 and still finding time in your lives for blogging and sharing what you love with your readers!

But let’s get back to the good stuff.

What good is a party without cake…? If you ask me, it’s not. (Then again, I consider cake to be a regular breakfast staple, so maybe I’m not the best person to ask).

If you don’t have any cake to serve, I’ve got the next best thing, if not better.
