    The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift for Entrepreneurs

    May 8, 2019 / No Comments

    I received the Epson 3 in 1 home office all-in-one printer for consideration here. Listen, when you spend as much time in your home office as I do the tools that you have MUST make life easier. I love my home office. It is one of the biggest reasons we bought this house. It was the feature that caught my eye first immediately on viewing our home. And yet…as much as I love my home office I’d rather not spend an extra second more than I have to in it. Because swimming, skiing and travel make me way happier than working inside an office and I’d rather be outdoors any…

    Hallmark Mother’s Day Styles (Giveaway)

    May 1, 2019 / 41 Comments

    I’m a Hallmark ambassador and as such receive product for consideration here. My opinion is all my own and it is truthful. With spring in full bloom and Mother’s Day on the horizon, now is the perfect time to start thinking about gifts for mom to make it a Hallmark Mother’s Day. Hallmark delivers great style and gifts for Mother’s Day every year. This year I am loving the spring styles from Hallmark. They are perfect for the rainy dull weather. Hallmark has adorable scarves every year and their pretty umbrellas are both stylish and functional too. I have a couple here now and they are so useful and durable…

    Get Mom All The Things This Mother’s Day #LoveHallmarkCA

    May 7, 2017 /

    Not a single day passes that I don’t miss my Mom. There are too few Mother’s Days. Trust me on this. Moms are one of a kind. This time of year in particular I wish I had taken every single Mother’s Day off work, or school. Don’t waste a moment of this precious day. Make Mother’s Day 2017 magical for your mom this year. If you still have your Mom near and dear do something special for her. And take her something meaningful and unique, especially a gift that is straight from the heart, to mark the occasion.

    My Top Six Mother’s Day Gifts From Hallmark #Giveaways

      Mother’s Day is a hard time of year when you are missing your Mom. Three years ago I lost my Mom. I miss her every day and this time of year I miss her so much my heart hurts. We did things together on Mother’s Day most years, but there are many moments now I wish I had hugged her tighter, and called her more frequently, and brought her flowers every time I saw her. That’s why I want to remind you that it’s a special time of year and you need to take time to spend it with your Mom. Buy all the Mother’s Day gifts or give her…

    The History of Mother’s Day

    May 4, 2016 /

    The History of Mother’s Day The history of Mother’s Day is quite long. Most people think it began in the early 1900’s, and while the move towards an official holiday began around the time, the actual history of Mother’s Day dates back much, much further. It’s roots can be traced all the way back to ancient Greek and Roman culture. Ancient History of Mother’s Day The history of Mother’s Day has its beginnings in an ancient annual spring festival of the Greeks which was dedicated to their maternal goddesses. At that time, the day was used to honor Rhea, the wife of Cronus and the mother of many of the…

    Three Brands That Got Social Media Right This Week

    May 17, 2015 /

      I haven’t done one of these in several months. But today I am all ideas and scattered creativity and I can’t seem to focus on what I need to get done, so I felt like reflecting instead. Sometimes getting these things out of my head helps me organize my brain. Anyhoo…I have seen a lot of great outreach this week and that makes me happy. But I wanted to take a minute reflecting on just a select few brands who hit the right note on Mother’s Day. These are my social media wins this week. Carter’s:  Sometimes it’s the simplest things that make the biggest difference. Mother’s Day is…

    If you hang around here often then you know that I like to share printables around special occasions. With Mother’s Day coming up I figured it would be a great time to share some love through a Mother’s Day Word Search. Dads: print this off and your kids can do them with Mom, or they can do this Mother’s Day Word Search when you are making Mom breakfast in bed. What are you doing this Mother’s Day? I suspect my day will be relaxing. Or, I hope, my day will be relaxing. I need a small break and I really need a day off of work right about now. In the event…
