Who is the Mother of the Year??

Well...it's certainly not me! Hmmm, but then maybe I could be Mother of the Year if my kids didn't know any better - just kidding!

The fact is most moms I know are worthy of the Mother of the Year Award. But often because we know we're not a "Perfect Mom', we sell ourselves short.

So this Mother's Day tell all the moms you know just how amazing she is - and how she deserves the Mother of the Year Award. We have some great gifts your mama would love, and there's still time to shop!!

And when you've finished choosing the perfect gift - you can make mom a star with a FREE custom video here. Starring the President himself, it's a super fun way to tell Mom how much you love her!

Mother's Day Give-Away at Ramblings Of A Wannabe Writer

What an honor! Melanie at Ramblings Of A Wannabe Writer is hosting a Mother's Day give-away, and product review of our All Moms Go To Heaven apron.

So if you are looking for a great Mothers Day gift idea, hurry on over to check out her site! The contest ends May 7th, and since Melanie is a mom she has some FUN window shopping type HOMEWORK that you will need to do before you are eligible!

I don't know what it is...but I really LOVE that apron. Possibly flashbacks of all the hours I have spent in the kitchen...)



Good Luck!

How to tell Mom you love her this Mother's Day?

Here at All Moms Go To Heaven we know just what every Mom would love to hear on Mother's Day (and every day):

• Today you're the QUEEN, and I'm waiting on you hand and foot all day long. Happy Mother's Day.


• You're the BEST! Mom in the WORLD!


• You're always right - that's one of the million reasons I love you so much.


• Thanks for always helping me to remember what is the most important in life... and today it is you!
  
• No one makes PBJ like you Mom!


• You're the most beautiful Mom in the WORLD - inside and out.


• I know you think I don't notice all you do for the kids, and me. But I do and I love you and appreciate you with all my heart. You deserve a Halo and a vacation to Hawaii!


• If I have never said thank you for being my mom I'd like to do that now. And...I've already cleaned my room, your room, all the bathrooms, the kitchen, all the closets - and I washed your car!


• You're the best at everything you do - especially being my Mom.


• There's never been a minute I wasn't glad you were my Mom. I love you!
  

Now, all you need to do is tell Mom you need to have a talk with her - and speak from your heart!

And if you're looking for some great gift ideas - we have Mother's Day gifts covered!

Our new favorite is this KP Duty Heaven Gift Basket. Let's face it - Mom's sure do spend a lot if time in the kitchen! This gift basket comes complete with just the right gifts to make her Kitchen Patrol Duty time just a little more heavenly! She'll get our All Moms Go To Heaven Apron, Green Tea scented Hand & Body Lotion, and a set of our Notepads (for all those lists she needs). Packaged in our bright pink gift box with a special Gift From Heaven card. $40

Rent-A-Granny

What a great idea - did you know you can Rent-A-Granny? I saw this video clip today on www.DarynKagan.com (she's all about reporting GOOD news!)

They sure have come up with a great idea in Poland. Make matches between older folks who don't have family and young families who don't have extended family living nearby. Anyone who yearns for connection and family will love this story.

Hmmm...just imagine if you could Rent-A-Mom as well when you needed one!

Heaven is....

Getting the royal & loving treatment (like a foot massage!) from your daughter, because she can see how stressed and exhausted you are.

PS: While you're here NOMINATE a Mom - We'll send her an email telling her you did and we know from our feedback that she will absolutely LOVE IT that you took the time and thought to honor her for her most important job.

Vote for All Moms Go To Heaven!

If anyone were to ask - I would be the first to tell you that one of the hardest things about being a mom is juggling career and kids - kids and career. It is a major 'All Moms Go To Heaven' thing for most of the moms I know.

And I guess lots of other moms feel the same since record numbers of new entrepreneurs just so happen to be MOMs.

So we've entered into a contest being hosted by the Sloan Brothers at StartUpNation.com - obviously they really appreciate Moms!

We would be so grateful for your support - Please click this link below to vote for us!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!

Military Moms

LOGO Cap

Personalized Cap

Recently, I have met one mom after another who

has told me: 'My son felt the call to join the military...' (Silence).

While these moms are so proud...they are also VERY concerned and worried. And I know I cannot imagine all that is going on inside their minds.

So when one of these mom's suggested that she would love to wear a cap that showed she was the proud mom of a child in the military - with the All Moms Go To Heaven logo - we thought that was a great idea!

Here are 2 new caps just for Military Moms. These are 6-panel garment washed low-profile camouflage caps, embroidered with our signature heart and then our logo in Swarovski Rhinestones. You can also get these personalized, and they are just $30 each!

Thanks to all of our troupes who protect us each and everyday...and their amazing Moms!

Moms in the White House

Wow, the 2008 US Presidential Election will not be one that is forgotten...ever. First Hilary was a contender for President, and now Sarah Palin for Vice President - both MOMS. No matter what happens, this is huge for our great nation. While I certainly don't feel that gender has anything to do with ability to run our country, I know that with every election year each of us are taking a chance when we choose the person we feel most confident to take care of us. How do we really know who is best, how things will unfold? With this 2008 election and the possibility of having a mom in office, we will start to have more opportunities to make strides regarding family and social issues (and maybe even more appreciation!) that will help all of our moms.


Congratulations!

Sometimes Mom's Just Gotta Vent

I can't remember the last time I was in a grocery store, at the mall, the theatre, the parking lot at my daughter's elementary school...or any public venue really when I did not hear a mom 'doing the mom thing' (translation: giving the kids the look, the voice, or both!). If you're a mom you know what I'm talking about!

So while we love our kids and would never trade them for all the peace and quiet in the world - sometimes you just gotta vent - without anyone hearing what you really are thinking. So today when I found "Anonymous Mom" - a website where you can vent anonymously - I had to share. Visit www.AnonymousMom.com, and vent your heart out!

Sometime's I think just knowing that you're not the only one having those frustrations & thoughts is enough to make things OK.
