In my book, there is nothing quite as sweet as receiving a piece of handwritten snail mail. It is one of life’s little pleasantries that truly fills me with joy. With that being said, I feel like Valentine’s Day was made for souls like me. People who love to send and receive thoughtful valentines and cards in their mailboxes. In this digital age, having someone take the time to shoot me a card means an awful lot. It is a small gesture that can touch people, no matter the distance.
I snagged some of the most darling American Greetings® Valentines Day cards during my recent trip to Harris Teeter, and I am so excited to be partnering with them to share some of the sweetness I’ll be sending out. What a wonderful way to stay connected during a time when so many families and friends are separate.
This post has been sponsored by American Greetings. I make it a point to only collaborate with brands that I truly enjoy and love. All opinions are entirely my own.
I’ve lived away from my mom and dad since I was 17 years old (I turned 18 at the beginning of my freshman year of college). I had my own place after graduate school, while working at my first big girl job, and then immediately became an army wife. We have been physically separate for years, but for as long as I can remember, my mama has sent me Valentine’s Day cards. Just seeing her handwriting on the envelope makes me smile. I look forward to continuing the Valentine’s Day card tradition as Raegan, Zarie, and Xander grow older. Valentine’s Day is all about love, and I firmly believe that includes ALL love–romantic, friendship, self-love and love for your children. As a military spouse, they have been a sure way for us to stay connected to the folks we love most.
Over the last few years, I have let the kids send their grandparents Valentine’s Day cards, and I think it will be especially well-received this year, as they haven’t gotten to see them in quite some time. I love the selection of American Greetings cards at Harris Teeter– honestly I love their huge selection of EVERYTHING. They are one of my favorite grocery stores because I can always count on them to have fresh and top notch offerings. Right now they have a deal where if you buy 3 American Greetings cards, you save $4.00! The designs are absolutely darling, and I was able to snag the perfect card for so many of our loved ones. The girls are so excited to pop them in the mail soon.
Consider snagging a few fun cards during your next grocery shopping trip. Wherever, however, and whoever you’re celebrating, all it takes is a card. There’s no better way to give a little love to everyone you love. For more information on American Greetings cards, and the buy 3 get $4.00 off deal, head to this page today.
