Get Organized This Holiday Season with Cozi!

This post is brought to you by Cozi. 


Did you know that one in ten families are thinking about giving up on holiday cards this year? With everything that goes into the process - collecting and updating addresses, taking a family photo, and finding time to personalize and address all the cards - this tradition can feel like a chore.

Why not turn to a tech solution to simplify the process this year? Cozi, the family organizing app and website, just introduced the latest feature in Cozi’s premium service, Cozi Gold - Cozi Contacts, a shared address book that is also the best way to organize the holiday cards list.

All your addresses will finally be in one neat list with individuals grouped by household and each address time stamped so you know when it was last updated. Plus, you can export your holiday card list for printing, and even better, Cozi will format them so they're all ready for printing onto labels!

It's all part of Cozi's Get It Done! Holiday Card Guarantee.

Try it this year - you'll feel great when your season's greetings go out with plenty of time to spare. And if you don't, Cozi will help you buy “Happy New Year” cards to mail out instead.

Mother's Day Gift Ideas from Hallmark & Giveaway


Mother’s Day will be here soon, and with it comes a perfect opportunity to honor the special moms in our lives and tell them exactly what they need to hear. It’s a chance to offer our appreciation for all that moms do for their kids and the many others whose lives they touch. This Mother’s Day, what do you want to say to a special mom in your life? And as a mom, what do YOU want to hear?

Whether it’s a friend, a relative or a mother figure you admire, Hallmark has a few ideas for how kids and grown-ups alike can connect with the moms in their lives and tell them how much they mean on Mother’s Day and year-round!

For the Children Looking to Give a Memorably Gift: 
· Magic Prints: Each Magic Prints frame comes with a mess-free Crayola® Magic Mitt ink applicator. When a child places his or her hand on the paper, their hand print appears, revealing a colorful pattern or message within the hand print. It’s a wonderful way for kids to add a personal touch to their gift for Mom and create a lasting show of appreciation that can be framed and kept as a keepsake.

This is one of the coolest gift ideas I have ever received from Hallmark! I can't wait to receive my children's hand prints in a frame that I can cherish forever! I love that it is mess free, easy to do but turns out great!



· Magic Prints Greetings: Like the Magic Prints frames, Magic Prints greetings allow kids to add a colorful personal touch to these cards which can be sent to a favorite aunt or mother figure across town or across the miles! Some Magic Prints greetings even allow a child to record their voice directly into the card!

When you need to send a long distance gift to a Mother or Grandmother, these Magic Print Greetings are great on saving money but still sending a thoughtful gift that they can cherish forever! Not only do you get to imprint your child's hand prints but you can also record your child's voice and for many parents/grandparents, just hearing a loved one's voice and loving words can mean more than any gift!

For Adults Looking to Honor Their Mothers: 


· Mother’s Day Signature Collection Greetings: Hallmark’s Signature Collection features sophisticated and stylish greetings handcrafted with beautiful papers, rich textures and appealing embellishments. A great way to honor a special mom in style!


· Premium Classic Greetings: These greetings feature eye-catching premium designs with sparkle, shine, laser-cut patterns and bold colors that express messages of love and appreciation.

· Simply Motherhood Greetings: Hallmark’s new Simply Motherhood cards feature fresh photography paired with simply stated, warm messages to celebrate moms.

So as you can see, Hallmark has the perfect gift for any Mother or mother-figure this Mother's Day! Whether you want to give a gift from a child or an adult, they have a unique gift or card for every situation!

Buy It: You can purchase all products mentioned above from your local Hallmark store.

Win It: Hallmark is generously offering (1) “Tell Mom …” Gift Pack (it includes a Magic Prints frame and a selection of Hallmark greeting cards listed above) to a lucky winner!

Make Homemade Valentine's Day Cards This Year!



Instead of opting for the generic pack of Valentine’s Day cards at the drug store this year, why not give kids something more creative that will also help them stand out from the rest of the class? I absolutely love to have my son create cards for holidays instead of buy them because they mean so much more to our family and it is a lasting memory!

That is why I think it is awesome that Kiwi Crate introduces Handmade Valentines for the month of February, a special offering to help families celebrate friendship and caring in a creative and engaging way.

Kiwi Crate is dedicated to sparking children’s natural creativity and curiosity. Every month, Kiwi Crate delivers engaging, hands-on activities in art & crafts, science, or imaginative play to kids ages 3-7. Monthly themes have included Dinosaurs, Gardening, Colors, and more. Every project is designed by parents, reviewed by child development experts, and tested by kids. Kiwi Crate is delivered monthly by mail. Subscriptions can be ordered month-to-month, annual, or gifted to others.


The Valentine's Day crate includes all the materials and inspiration needed to create 24 fun and easy personalized DIY pop-up cards in assorted designs such as hearts, robots and ladybugs. Kids can create, personalize and decorate their cards – no scissors required!


Each Handmade Valentines pack includes:
  • 24 pop-up cards
  • 36 colorful Valentine-themed punchouts (e.g., hearts, robots, ladybugs)
  • Glue stick
  • Set of 10 washable markers
  • Wiggly eyes
  • Sticky-back jewels
  • Two plain cards and simple instructions to teach kids how to create their own pop-up card designs.

This box has everything in it to help my son be creative and make great Valentine's Day cards for everyone in our lives that mean so much to us! We LOVED the wiggly eyes and the jewels the most - they added that special fun element to each card!

My son made Valentine's cards for hours and didn't want to stop! He loved the pop-up element of every card and I loved how easy it was for us to do together!

Buy It: You can purchase the Valentine's Day crate for $14.95 from Kiwi Crate Celebration Shop
