Free Printable Cards to Make Your Social Distancing Better

MichelleLeave a comment

What a week, huh? I know the world is a little out-of-control right now, and I hope you’re doing well. When it comes to times like these, I realize that I’m extremely fortunate – my husband and I both have secure jobs that we can do from home, we’re healthy and low-risk, and we have plenty of food and supplies. I understand that a lot of people are facing much more difficulty, and I hope that I can provide some meaningful and helpful content here on the blog. Today, I’m sharing two free cards that can be printed at home and dropped in the mailbox, so you can stay at home and still spread some love.

I think cards and letters are a really wonderful way to communicate. It’s always been easiest for me to write out my thoughts and feelings rather than speak them. With so many people stuck at home, I hope these free cards can motivate you to drop a note in the mail to a grandparent, friend, teacher, or anyone you know who could use a pick-me-up. I’m sure they would love to hear from you.

Free Printable Cards

To print, just click one of the the images below. A PDF file will open in a new tab. All you need to do is print, cut on the dotted line, and fold in half!

For a 5″x7″ card, print as-is. To print at 4.25″x6″, set the scale (in printing settings) to 85%. For best results, print on card stock (but whatever you have is fine!).

Just Wanted to Say Hello

Nothing Like a Quarantine

Note: Please be sure to wash your hands before handling the cards! For some high-risk populations, it may not be safe to send physical mail. Instead, send an email; hop on a video call; or write the card, scan it, and send it digitally!

I hope these cards are able to brighten someone’s day! If you do print and use these, please do me a favor and let me know who you’re sending a card to!

Free Christmas Print: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

MichelleLeave a comment

Today, I just wanted to pop in here and share a fun Christmas printable that I’ve been working on the past few days. Christmas is coming up faster than I can believe – already less than 3 weeks away! – so I wanted to share before it’s too late! It’s become somewhat of a tradition around here to share some free holiday printables around this time (see my past ones here and here). This year, I decided on a charming, hand-lettered style for one of my favorite Christmas songs. Click the image below to download!

Free Hand-Lettered Christmas Print: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

The printable is in a PDF format and already sized for a 5×7 frame. Click the image above to download! Then you can just print it out, trim the edges, and place in your frame of choice! The frame featured in the image above is this one from Target. (Although, just FYI, the opening in the frame is actually closer to 4.5″x6.5″ than 5″x7″!)

Practical Meal Planning (& A Free Printable Meal Planner)

MichelleLeave a comment

Let me start by saying what my main goal of meal planning is: making things easier for myself. As a new mom, I struggle with getting dinner on the table each night unless I plan ahead. I think meal planning can be overwhelming for some people, but remember that it doesn’t have to be! Meal planning does NOT have to mean trying 5 new recipes in a week; you’re the one calling the shots here. That means that sometimes my meal plan looks like spaghetti, frozen pizza, and takeout. Planning my meals for the week saves me time, money, and energy – and who wouldn’t want more of those things?

Meal planning means I never run into the dreaded “it’s-4-o’clock-and-I-have-no-idea-what’s-for-dinner” situation. I don’t have to scramble at the last minute to throw something together, I don’t have to pick up fast food because I have nothing to make, and I don’t have to feel guilty about making frozen pizza for dinner because it’s planned ahead of time. This is the magic of meal planning!

That being said, I found that I needed a printable meal planner that works for me. My biggest needs in a meal planning method are: (1) flexibility, (2) a way to “look ahead” to the following week, and (3) a space for notes and meal prep plans. I couldn’t find a meal planner that worked for me, so I created one! Today, I’m sharing a bit about how I meal plan and giving you my free printable meal planner!
