This post is a little late for Christmas and most of the holiday season, but perhaps some of you will be inspired to get crafty as you take your decorations down.
Months ago, I found this easy-to-do project on Pinterest. On her Young House Love blog, she recommends using liquid nails to securely attach magnets to basic ornaments to festively decorate your fridge. I'm a big fan of using what I have around the house, I so used my hot glue gun. I had some round magnets leftover from my picture frame project. I think I got them from a hardware store, but I can't recall exactly. Please remember to keep small magnets away from little kids! If they swallow them, the magnets can cause serious internal damage.

I used my magnets to hold up all of our Christmas cards and greeting cards. I think I need to make more! I had to use every magnet in the house.
Here are my magnet ornaments up close:
And the other is a picture we took of the kids:
I saved a coupon from Enfamil for 20 free cards from Shutterfly. I've never purchased or used formula for my kids, minus a few days with Oliver while we waited for my milk to come in, but formula companies are always trying to win moms over when they have new babies. I also bought a deal from Zulily for half off cards from Paper Culture. Although I've been happy with Shutterfly in the past, their quality of cards really paled in comparison to Paper Culture's. Shutterfly blurred our photos slightly, and it printed glossy and looks like a 4 x 6 photo rather than a Christmas card. I wouldn't have really noticed or cared, but when I looked at it against the other stack of cards, I felt like the money spent on cards from Paper Culture really made a difference. I plan on using them again next year if I can score another deal!
