When we moved to Texas 7 years ago we had no nieces and nephews and our family was a lot smaller.  Over the years our family has grown super-sized!  We now have 12 nieces and nephews and still growing.  We try to get together on weekends to have family dinners and that’s also when we celebrate birthdays and and holidays.  I love giving cards to family members and friends.

Have you looked at the price of cards lately???  Some cards are between $5-$7 per card.  I was in Walmart the other day and noticed the Hallmark Value Cards in the card isle.  They were so cute and priced as low at .47 cents.  I kind of went a little nuts because I found so many cute cards at such great prices!

Our Texas sized family:

I love each and every member of our family and want them all to feel special, but I don’t want to break the bank buying cards. With Hallmark #ValueCards you can Celebrate in a big way without spending a fortune!

I got all of these adorable cards for different occasions for under $14 bucks!  They are so cute and I’m so excited to give these to someone special.  I stock up on cards a few times a year knowing that eventually I’ll use them.  I also like to decorate the envelopes with fun markers or glitter pens.

There is also a Hallmark Card Rewards Program, which rewards shoppers for purchasing Hallmark cards and can be collected anywhere (but especially at Walmart). Value cards are $.47 and $.97 cents.  You can’t beat that price!  For every 5 Hallmark cards you buy, you’ll earn a reward.

Our 13 year anniversary is coming up so I picked out a special card for my honey at Walmart. Time sure does fly!

 A card is not just a piece of cardboard to me…it’s words of encouragement and emotions.  I keep all my cards and look back on them to read what my relatives wrote who are no longer with us, or read what I wrote years ago.  It makes me laugh & sometimes I wonder what I was thinking!

Cards can make you laugh, cry, smile, & reminisce about all the memories and thoughts you once had.

I love giving cards and I love receiving them as well.  Cards hold so many special thoughts and are a great way to show someone how much they mean to you.  Sometimes when you can’t find the exact words to say a card can do wonders to help.

Don’t let a day go by without letting someone know how much they mean to you!  Life is too short not to 🙂

Most days my life is a crazy mess.  Like, seriously….we have a lot going on and sometimes it’s just hard to get through the day without dragging my heels.  I have a tiny little secret that I carry around with me called 5-hour ENERGY® shots.  They are so tiny you can carry them anywhere and they don’t need to me refrigerated either.

My day usually starts around 6 am and I’ll get up, shower, and then get ready for the day.  In the midst of all this Terence is also getting ready for work and we are getting Connor showered, dressed, & ready for school.

The boys are usually ready before me because they don’t have to do hair and makeup.   Connor eats his cereal and Terence makes a shake or coffee.  Then I shuffle to get my things together and we are out the door by 7 am.

I drop Connor off at school and then head to work for the rest of the day.

Then…..I hit my afternoon sinking spell around 2-3 pm. UGH.

That’s when I reach for my tiny magic potion.  Ha!  Not really it’s a 5-hour ENERGY® shot.  

5-hour ENERGY® shots are a dietary supplement that contains a blend of B-vitamins, amino acids, and essential nutrients.  There’s zero sugar, carbs, or herbal stimulants.  It’s only four calories.  It contains the amount of caffeine comparable to a cup of leading premium coffee.  It’s gives me that extra push I need in the afternoon to keep going.

My day doesn’t end at 5pm.  After I get off work I pick up Connor, we have swim lessons, then after that we go home and cook dinner.  After all this we like to chill out on the sofa and watch some TV.  Our days are long, but full of fun and excitement too!  I want to be that Mom who can keep up with her 4-year-old.  With 5-hour ENERGY® shots I feel energized and focused on what needs to be done.

They are so easy to put in your bag or keep in your desk too #ThisIsMySecret ! There are a lot of different flavors to choose from. My personal favorite is grape 🙂

 The best part is there is no crashing and 5-hour ENERGY® shots are sugar-free.

Right now CVS has a great sale: Get One 50% off on the 6-pack of 5-hour ENERGY® shots.
