When I look at this picture from 2010, I can't help but think "she has no idea what she's in for."

The thing about life, though . . . does it ever really calm . . .

But it's 2018, and many of the folks I cherish are spread across the globe, and so my gift-giving, like much of my life now, is digital. On this Christmas Eve, I wanted to take a second to say thank you for continuing to follow my (not-so-little anymore) family, and to give a few virtual gifts that you might enjoy.

A note about your divorced friends this holiday season.
A note about your divorced friends this holiday season. It's possible it sucks for them. It's possible they are having to swallow down tears because they have to spend their holidays with a toxic person in order to allow their kids to have both parents present for their celebrations. OR,, it's possible they don't get their kids on Christmas eve, or Christmas morning, and they spend that time sitting in the grief of not having their children with them. It's possible they aren't invited . . .

Their cardstock is thick and includes a recycled option, and their designs are fresh and modern. But a huge draw for me is that they will print your recipient’s address on the envelope at no additional charge.
