How to Make Virtual Holiday Cards

November 21, 2020/0 Comments/in Holidays/by Paula Rizzo

I love sending paper cards. It’s a simple way to brighten someone’s day. In fact, when my Aunt Dee was alive she would send them and remind us all that we were loved.

But I realize that a lot of people will probably make the switch to digital this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year, so many people are staying with family for extended periods or not where they usually are to stay safe from COVID-19.

I actually really like virtual cards too and when I was planning my virtual 40th birthday party this summer, I had a blast making the invitations!

A List for Thanksgiving Efficiency!

This week you’ll be bombarded with posts about gratitude and remembering to love your friends and family and I was tempted to write one myself. But the planner in me stopped — and decided to make a practical list instead.

I figured it would be more efficient to share a list of ways to get through these busy days easier because everyone else would cover the other topics.

So here’s a few posts I’ve written in the past (yes one IS about gratitude) to get you through the hectic Thanksgiving holiday:

The holidays are here! It’s easy to Install apps so if you need an app to beat the holiday stress, it’s easy to do. But not this year! I’m still making lists, but I’ve learned to simplify my holiday season with a few great apps that do everything from finding the best deals to preparing the perfect meal for all of your guests.

If the holiday season is overwhelming you, download a few of these apps to help you stay sane:

1. Food 52: Is a vegan coming to your Thanksgiving dinner? Do you want to learn how to set a holiday table? Or brine a turkey? This app features recipes, advice, and products to teach you how to become a “smarter, better, happier cook.” It’s a great, quick reference for all things food.

2. TaskRabbit: I love this app so much! Think about all the things you could be outsourcing this holiday season: writing out holiday cards, waiting in line for the new “it” gift, shopping for all the items on your holiday grocery list…the list just goes on and on! Have someone else run your holiday errands for you!

If you’ve ever hosted Thanksgiving, you know how much has to get done before the turkey gets served. This year, many will be celebrating the first night of Hanukkah on Thanksgiving as well, and that means double the prep! This is the time of year for long to-do lists, so it’s important to remember to get help to avoid getting burnt out and stay cheerful! Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should.

Make Your Holiday Season Less Awkward

October 29, 2013/0 Comments/in Food, Home, Tool for Success/by Paula Rizzo

The holidays are almost here! For me, that means even more lists than usual,

lists of gifts to get my friends and family
to-do lists for decorating my apartment
grocery lists for Christmas cookies!

Still, all that planning can’t always prepare you for the awkwardness that comes with the holidays. Even though I get along great with my family, that isn’t the case for everyone, and even the closest families can have a grandfather with no filter. Read more
