I almost didn’t do holiday cards this year, especially not New Year Cheer holiday cards. As many of you know, it’s a transition year for us. But I didn’t want to be totally silent either, so I was frozen with indecision. Minted reached out and offered to help us with holiday cards, and that got the ball rolling. I had the idea to do New Year cards, and our confetti photo shoot with Cramer Photo fit the theme perfectly!
Also: rose gold foil!!!!!!
Here is a link to the New Year Cheer holiday cards we got, including a photo on the back and a message to our friends and family. They have quite a few codes to get 10-15% off on the site right now through the weekend, and it’s not too late – especially for New Year Cheer holiday cards!
I have THREE $100 gift certificates to Minted to give away! Click here to enter!
USA only please. Giveaway runs through 12/11/16. Three random winners will be selected and notified by email.Â
This year I had a little help getting them in the mail! Mazen loved carefully tucking the New Year Cheer holiday cards into the envelopes, licking them (a first!), and placing the stamp on the corner.
Whistle while you work
We played mailman for a while afterwards too!
Since many of you asked for a day’s worth of meals in one post, here’s what I ate that day!
Breakfast was a pumpkin donut (made from pumpkin waffle batter and baked in a donut pan!), pumpkin yogurt, and grapefruit.
Lunch was tuna salad made with greek yogurt, mayo, and pickle relish (my new thing!) plus lots of crunchy carrots and Whole Foods’ everything crackers.
Snack was an apple and a few Christmas M&Ms!
And dinner was turkey, bean, and kale soup with parmesan on top and a slice of Great Harvest rye bread! Plus a glass of wine.
Happy early New Year!
Minted purchased our New Year Cheer holiday cards in exchange for this post.

Love the cards! Whats the difference between pickle relish and regular or is it just a new ingredient to you?! My whole life is a lie if there is a difference hahaha
KathEats says
I just mean cucumber verses other fruits or veg : )
Jill says
I’m cracking up / feel a little silly, as I had no idea relish was ever made with any base other than pickles! Could you perhaps recommend any brands, or kinds you enjoy making? It’s one of my favorites, too 🙂 Thanks!
KathEats says
There are tons of spinoffs! Check Pinterest 🙂 Roasted Red Pepper, Tomato, Beet, Jalapeno, Zucchini!
Kori says
The card is adorable! I love the rose gold foil too. 🙂
Eileen says
Aww, he’s taking his job very seriously! Your cards are very nice!
Kelli @ Hungry Hobby says

polly says
I think these photos and cards are perfect! XOXO
Sam @ Hygge Wellness says
Love the cards!!
AJ says
Did you workout this day? Doesn’t seem like enough calories.
KathEats says
I honestly don’t recall, but the tuna was bigger than it appears (and kept me full all afternoon) and I may have had a small handful of something during the day.

Great pick on the cards, and thank you for sharing your journey this year. I wanted to mention that Minted has the most amazing customer service ever! I ordered my cards on Black Friday and there was some confusion in whether or not the order was received and processed. Minted pro-actively reached out to me, overnighted my cards and refused to let me pay anything for the order. So glad you have chosen to affiliate with such a great company.
KathEats says
That’s great to know!
Natalie says
We tried Minted for the first time last year and were pretty disappointed with the quality. The photos were dull and blurry, despite us taking them with a real camera (some Canon DSLR).
KathEats says
That’s too bad – I have had beautiful cards several times. It might be worth giving them a call given the above comment about great customer service.
Safa says
Love to see what you eat in a day posts.
NWA Electrician says
That soup looks to die for! I love your cards too!
Cyndy says
Any chance you’ll be sharing the soup recipe? Looks so good and a perfect winter meal!
KathEats says
I didn’t write the ingredients down : (
Tess says
