I Daydream #wordsmatter @Hallmark

August 4, 2015 by

As a child I remember sitting in the playground imagining a different life. This didnt’ stop as I got older. I’m a daydreamer. I always have been. That doesn’t mean I’m not happy with my life it just means I like to wonder “what if”. daydream #wordsmatter Hallmark

 The world is a funny place.  We’re presented with different paths. Our destiny is decided in a split second; our future is created. Do you ever wonder what would happen if you didn’t walk into that classroom and met your best friend? Do you ever wonder what would be different if you didn’t break up with that ex?
Do you believe in fate or do you think life happens by chance?
I believe in a little of both but I look at my family and couldn’t imagine my world without them. I made the decisions in my life to end up exactly where I am today. I would take the same path again.
This doesn’t mean I dont’ like to pretend I’m on an island with my toes in the sand, independently wealthy and free of all worries. This is why I {daydream}.
This wall decor comes from Hallmark.

November 17, 2014 by

It the time of year that we really sit and remember the time that has gone by. Memories flood my brain as I unbox each ornaments and the kids try to remember where each one came from.

During this time we also play holiday movies in the background. We don’t do heartwarming or old fashioned we go right for funny as the movies the kids choose are usually a mix of Elf, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation or The Grinch starring Jim Carry. This means we’re laughing and reciting lines as we’re decorating. This means the kids are re-enacting absurd scenes from some of their favorite movies. This means we’re enjoying the time we’re spending together.

This year will be no different. We’ll do what we always do but we’ll be able to add a fun new ornament to the mix. Hallmark has sent us a has sent us a keepsake to fit right into our traditions, The Grinch’s Heart Grew Three Sizes.Hallmark #KeepsakeIt Ornament Giveaway

The kids already noticed the new ornament in its box and asked to watch the movie. This means that building our collection by using our memories, family vacations and experiences is working. Thanks Hallmark for helping our family create, build and memories over the years.

When You Can’t Find The Words #Hallmark

August 27, 2012 by

Hallmark is there. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting with Hallmark events 2 in the past few weeks.

NYC’s Holiday Product Preview at the London Hotel was like a little taste of Christmas in the Summer. Hallmark went all out not just showcasing their new products and decor for the holiday season but offering holiday cookies to match the ambience.

We got to see firsthand the innovative and interactive products for home decor and children’s memories.

The Philly HallmarkTour was entirely different and I think my favorite of the 2 events. This was a chance to meet the people behind the sappy notes and creative photographs.

We had the opportunity to write own captions for photos of children. Our team didn’t win but I think we came up some great inspirational ideas. We were also given the task to write messages of encouragement for back to school time. This was something that I found hard. I have the feelings in my heart and my head but trying to get them on paper I became a blubbering mess. I wasn’t the only one though. I peered over and saw some glassy eyes From Sherry of BabyPop and Randi from SAHM’s Crazy Life.
Hallmark is a wonderful fell good brand. A company that I’ve turned to for many years for holiday ornaments, baby’s 1st birthday momentos, e-cards and more.

I was lucky enough to bring home Story Buddy, Nugget.  The interactive plush comments and responds along to certain messages while you read the included book to your child.  I was dreading opening this because I wasn’t in the mood to “put together” a toy but he was literally ready to go once he was out of the box.

Thanks so much for the experience in both NYC and Philly.

Hallmark Kids Collection Cards to Encourage and Cheer Kids

May 5, 2010 by

Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Groundhogs Day; there’s a day for everyone and everything except for the most important thing in our lives, our children. Children need a special, “It’s all about me” day sometimes too. Hallmark is helping parents do that with their new Kids Collection; a line of cards and gifts designed specifically to cheer kids on, cheer them up and make them smile! Created to help adults’ encouraging words stick, they are little reminders to a child that you’re rooting for them every step of the way.

With 3 kids I’ve realized I don’t praise and encourage enough. There is always so much going on I tend to focus on things that need to be done rather on the things that HAVE been done. Report cards came out this week; straight A’s for Sabreena and very goods for Shaun. They haven’t been rewarded or patted on the back. Along with a card for each of them I think they deserve some special time with mom and dad. Realizing that encouragement for teens like Sabreena might need to differ from encouragement to younger ones like Shae or Shaun, Hallmark developed cards for all different stages of childhood and all different kinds of kids.

Need some help talking to your kids? Hallmark spokeskid and author Alec Greven is offering tips on encouragement and being your kids cheering section. His goal is to help grown-ups make their encouraging words resonate.


Win your own pack of Hallmark Kids Collection Cards here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Browse the Kids Collection and tell me something from their Tips and Inspiration section that you found helpful or motivating. This contest will have 3 winners, each receiving a mixed selection of the cards described above.
