If you have been here before, you know that I love Hallmark.  I love the cards, I love the products, I love their movies and for sure... I love their commercials. With Valentines Day approaching, I new Hallmark would be on my mind. Let me be honest here and say that I could spend HOURS just reading cards in the card aisle of the stores... Yep, I get that from my mom! I remember growing up waking up on Valentines Day... There would be a card from my parents and then a thing of chocolate or some other Valentines gift. As a mom to my sweet baby boy, I knew that I wanted to have that be something fun for him as well. That was why I was so excited to receive the review items from Hallmark. (Get excited, because one lucky reader will win a Prize pack similar to the one I received for review!)  Our package was full of love and I can not wait to see Broxtons face!!! Up first was their Until We Hug Again  bear.  This little bear is so cute!  I love it becaus...

Let's Remember the Meaning of Memorial Day

Image
While many of you are having BBQ's and enjoying a nice day off from work... I ask you to take just a minute of your day to remember the meaning of Memorial Day . It "is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service." To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the " National Moment of Remembrance " resolution was passed on Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans "To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ' Taps ." This is when Marc deployed: This is when he returned... While we are lucky and his whole unit returned home safe, let us all please keep those who did not return in our thoughts and prayers. Also please remember the family and friends of those left behind. Have a Safe Memorial Day.
