A Very Different Holiday Season

November 7, 2020

I’m just going to say it. This is going to be a very different holiday season than we’ve all been used to. There will be no Christmas visits, no Thanksgiving get-togethers or Friendsgivings. There will still be plenty of gift-giving, although we won’t be opening everything up together. 

But with this festive season quickly approaching, I’ve decided to send out handwritten notes to my nearest and dearest. I mean, when was the last time that you got a card in the mail “just because”? 

Holiday-Gift-Guide-Quarantine

I remember when I was in college, living in NYC, my Nunny used to send me a card every week full of old family pictures and fascinating articles she would cut out of the newspaper. And even though I could call her up instantly, getting that delivery every week, finding that card in my mailbox, gave me a warm feeling inside. I didn’t feel so far away from her. 

So I’ve partnered with JH Cards to share that same special experience with my friends and family. 

Holiday-Gift-Guide-Stationary-Handmade-Shop-Small

Each card by JH Cards is handcrafted using premium paper, making every single note unique. You just don’t get that kind of personalization with the box sets from the drug store. And while she has so many beautiful designs that cover every kind of occasion and holiday, I fell in love with her stiletto card, pictured here. But I also have my eye on the new polka dot holly and berries card and the sequined snowflake tree for my Christmas notes. For my friends celebrating Hannukah I love this Star of David card, and for those that are into the Festivus for the Rest of Us, this Kringle Cocoa card is the perfect reminder that I’m thinking of them. And I love this Champagne Toast card for New Years!

Holiday-Gift-Guide-Stationary

You can find more cards over on JH Cards. Anyone who places an order by November 14 and mentions Fashionably Kate in the checkout notes will get a fun assortment of bonus cards included! So order your cards now for Christmas, Hanukkah, whatever occasions you have coming up. If you stock up now, you won’t have to ever worry about having a card ever again! The box sets also make great gifts, so you can get some of your holiday gift shopping done!

How are you planning to celebrate the holidays this year?

Today, my heart is overflowing 💖, and while the Today, my heart is overflowing 💖, and while the world celebrates mothers, I find myself wanting to turn the spotlight onto the tiny, extraordinary humans who gave me that precious title: my daughters.

To my funny, smart, incredibly intelligent, and oh-so-beautiful babies, Arielle and Aurora: you two are the architects of a love I never knew could exist. You’ve painted my world in hues of joy I couldn’t have imagined and taught me what love, in its purest, most profound sense, truly means.

My sweet Arielle, my fellow empath – with your gentle soul, you’ve shown me the incredible power of true kindness. For years, life’s sharper edges had made me build walls, a little hardened, a little mad from past hurts. But watching you navigate the world with such inherent compassion, you taught me that closing off my heart only ever really hurt myself. You reminded me how to soften, how to open up again, and for that, I am eternally grateful. You are a beacon.

And to my little Aurora, not even two years old, yet you are a tiny titan of strength! You, my darling, have already taught this mama so much about standing her ground, about finding her voice and using it. Your fierce spirit is a daily lesson in self-assuredness, and I am in awe of you.

Of course, on a day like today, I am also celebrating my own incredible Mom, @cja8690, Thank you for every lesson, every sacrifice, every piece of wisdom you’ve poured into me, and for continuing to shower my girls with that same love and guidance. Watching you with them is one of my greatest joys.

And to my wonderful sister,Anna @whovian11forlife, their amazing Godmother – what a blessing you are. To have such a positive, inspiring role model for my girls, someone so wonderfully different from me in some ways, yet so deeply similar in all the ways that count, is a gift beyond measure.

Today, my heart doesn’t just celebrate being a mother; it celebrates the village of incredible women around me and the little souls who made it all possible. So much love to all. ✨

Feliz Cinco de Mayo from sunny EPCOT! 💃🍹 I Feliz Cinco de Mayo from sunny EPCOT! 💃🍹 

I loved soaking up the vibrant vibes in 2023 at the Mexico Pavilion with my favorite mermaid, Arielle! ✨ 

This little pyramid reminds me of the real deal I actually climbed in Mexico in 2000 – a trip I’ll always cherish with my sweet Nunny, who absolutely adored Mexico. ❤️ 

It’s funny how things change – I can still remember the charm of the original El Rio de Tiempo ride (anyone else?), and while we always used to make a beeline for Mexico first in World Showcase, these days you’ll likely find me saying “cheerio” over in the UK! 🇬🇧🇲🇽 

What are your favorite Cinco de Mayo traditions?
