I adore anything personalized! I love jewelry with my children's name on it. I love monogrammed EVERYTHING! It just adds so much more MEANING when it is personalized. Do you agree?

Mother's Day is a great day for giving personalized gifts.

Let me show you what I am giving my mother :

She will be getting the Tender Heart Platter from Personal Creations.

Yep, we customized it with all the grandchildren.

If you like personalized mom gifts then I highly suggest checking out Personal Creations.

Mother's Day from Red Envelope

Mother's Day is coming up but I didn't have to tell you guys that, right? hehe

Well? What is it that you are wanting this year? There has to be something....

Sure, those handpainted coffee mugs hold some sentimental value. Sure, those flowers are just beautiful to look at for a few days. Sure, that vacum is going to suck up the cheerios that your child seems to dump on the floor after every single meal.

WOAH....WAIT A MINUTE?

Vacuum and Mother's Day? UHHH....Those words should not even be in the same sentence.

My number one rule for mother's day gifts is : NO GIFT WITH A CORD ATTACHED TO IT!

(plain and simple)

Check this out:


It's the Languages of Love necklace from Red Envelope and I just happen to own it now.

Happy Mother's day to ME!

This is a great mother's day gift.

AllerMates (allergy resources and products for parents and kids)

0 comments
Check out this site, AllerMates. It is a great source of information for parents and children dealing with allergy issues of all kinds.
 

Parents of children with allergies can now enjoy the safety and security of knowing their young ones are better protected against unwanted allergens when they wear or use AllerMates products away from home in places like school, daycare, parties, sleep-overs and summer camp.

AllerMates products are based on 14 fun, original characters that represent the most common allergies: peanut, nut, gluten/wheat, milk, egg, shellfish, penicillin, insect sting, latex, pollen, fish, soy, sesame and cat. The characters and product line was created by Iris Shamus, Founder and CEO of AllerMates, in part to help kids feel positive about their allergies. 

Would you tell your child that they are FAT?

0 comments
I'm not sure if I would actually say the words "Uh, YOU ARE FAT!" but I would have no problem telling my children that they were gaining a little too much weight ((IF THEY WERE ACTUALLY GAINING TOO MUCH WEIGHT)) and by too much weight I mean an unhealthy weight increase not the normal weight gain for a child of that age.



Now granted, I don't want my children to think OH MY! I NEED TO GO RUN AROUND THE BLOCK A FEW TIMES BECAUSE I JUST ATE THAT CHEESEBURGER!

I do want them to be healthy and I do want them to feel good about themselves.

I have read horror stories about mothers letting their CHILDREN (yes, CHILDREN) get plastic surgery or stories about parents putting their children on super strict diets because they didn't want fat and unattractive kids (Sad, huh?)

I want my children to be just that CHILDREN!

No worries about pleasing the world with their looks....

There is a fine line between wanting your kids to be healthy and wanting your kids to be attractive enough for the world.

Ok, I better stop ranting...

SO, Would you say to your child "YOU ARE FAT!" ?
