May 2, 2017

Rated: PG

Do you have a dog? They can end up being your best friend. Growing up, I had a pup. He was my pillow and caught so many of my tears throughout my teenage years. I can’t even imagine what my life would have been without him. As soon as hubby and I got engaged, he showed up with my dream pup- a Dalmatian! Over the years we have added three shih tzus to our family, so we are pretty familiar with a dog’s loyality and love. It was a no brainer when this movie came out that our family had to see it. Based on the beloved bestselling novel by W. Bruce Cameron, A Dog’s Purpose, from director Lasse Hallström (The Cider House Rules, Dear John, The 100-Foot Journey), shares the soulful and surprising story of one devoted dog (voiced by Josh Gad – Frozen, Angry Birds) who finds the meaning of his own existence through the lives of the humans he teaches to laugh and love. A narrative with “genuine heart, humor and a real message of love” (Michael Heaton, The Plain Dealer), the family film told from the dog’s perspective also stars Britt Robertson (Tomorrowland, The Longest Ride), KJ Apa (“Riverdale”), John Ortiz (Silver Linings Playbook, American Gangster), Juliet Rylance (Sinister, “The Knick”), Luke Kirby (“The Astronaut Wives Club”), Peggy Lipton (When in Rome, Twin Peaks), Pooch Hall (“The Game,” “Ray Donovan”) and Dennis Quaid (Far From Heaven, The Rookie).  https://www.uphe.com/movies/a-dogs-purpose

Teleflora’s Mother’s Day Collection- Giveaway Win An Arrangement of Your Choice (Details within the post)

Teleflora's NEW Sparkle and Shine Bouquet for Mother’s Day 2017

 

It’s been ten years since I last celebrated Mother’s Day with my mom. It’s was Emily’s first with the family and who knew it would be the last time we would celebrate as  full family. It was a treasured time in my life and my mom has left me with some great inspiration about being a the mom I want to be. Her and I had a wonderful mother/daughter relationship, the kind I pray Emm and I will continue to have throughout our lives. She taught me about love, happiness and about flowers! My mother loved flowers. She not only loved receiving them, she loved giving them. She used to explain to me how to her flowers represented life. She would say, “Flowers are beautiful but they will not last forever, so just enjoy their beauty and allow in their happiness”. There is always a timeline in life, so don’t waste it- enjoy it.  It’s something that has always stuck with me. In turn I have passed down those same thoughts to my own three children and also the appreciation of flowers. To all the moms out there, Happy Mother’s Day! xoxoxo

mothersdayThe way we can never get up on time, how we want things “just right,” the career paths we take, how we’re the strongest when we feel the weakest. We hear, “You’re just like your mother” throughout our lives…but in the end, we’re thankful that we are…and that’s a beautiful thing. This Mother’s Day, say “thank you” to mom and celebrate everything that makes her so special with a Teleflora bouquet. “Just Like Her,” Teleflora’s handmade bouquets are made with love and are the perfect way to commemorate all those unique similarities you share with mom.

Helen Ficalora “Mom” Necklace- A Perfect Mother’s Day Gift Giveaway

mom19

From the moment, from the very first moment a woman becomes a “Mom” there is no going back. The minute you lay eyes on your little bundle of joy your life changes forever. As a mom of three I can tell you just how amazing it has been to be on a journey called, Mom. It has not all been a cake walk for sure, there have been tears and power plays and toddlers, tweens and teens, but along the way it seems that love outweighs all of the drama. If you are a mom then you already know how much work comes with the title. There are sleepless nights and everything else that goes along with it. If you ask me how to sum up being a mom I could do it with one word- Love. Being a mom is loving your children unconditionally. It’s doing things you never imagined you could do and being stronger than you ever imagined.

Every year during the month of May moms all over are celebrated! They are celebrated with good reason. It’s a great time to show your love and appreciation for your own mom, grandmother, godmother, aunt or special woman in your life. Helen Ficalora is a brand of jewelry I personally love. It allows everyone to tell their own story through the unique personalized pieces. You can choose a word that has a special meaning to you, a symbol or an initial. There are so many choices. I have the pleasure of reviewing the Sterling Silver “MOM” Disk Charm on a Sterling Silver 18″ Fine Chain. Before I even opened the box I was already impressed with the pretty pink box. Arriving in this beautiful box you already the contents are going to be very special.  Inside the box was a silver Disk Charm that was approximately 15.5mm X 14mm. This stamped disk charm is also available in 14k yellow gold, white gold or pink gold. The signature “MOM” charm is the perfect gift that would make any mom feel special. It’s a great “wear everyday” necklace and a simple reminder about being a mom. Every time I caught a glimpse of my own “Mom” necklace in the mirror I could not help but smile. The necklace is also sturdy. It is strong enough to wear on a daily basis and the clasp is durable and is also easy to work.
