Honor #OneToughMother With @Teleflora This Mother's Day!

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

I never appreciated my mother more than I did after I had children. I realized how strong, tough, amazing and hard-working she was/is (she had 8 children!) and I strive to be the same way for my children!

I have definitely learned that each day as a mother is definitely not all hearts and roses but this Mother's Day it can be with Teleflora!

Each of their gorgeous Mother’s Day bouquets are professionally-arranged and hand-delivered by a local florist with love and care to capture the hearts and appreciation of every mother, grandmother, aunt, sister or friend.

Teleflora’s campaign, “One Tough Mother,” would like to honor all Moms with flowers this Mother’s Day because they work a 24 hour 7 day a week job that’s incredibly rewarding but also tough.

Check out this awesome tribute from Teleflora for all the tough moms out there!

As a special tribute to moms everywhere this Mother’s Day, Teleflora’s “One Tough Mother” video ad celebrates the “tough, gritty, no pain-no-gain” job that moms take on every day. Its anthem, the famous words shared by the legendary coach “Vince” Lombardi and his “What It Takes To Be Number One” speech, honors its guiding principles about winning and success. The video ad features “real life” moms to maintain the authenticity of the campaign, which celebrates every “One Tough Mother” in your life…recognizing the strength, courage, perseverance, and infinite love that inspires us through her endless journey through motherhood.

Motherhood isn’t always hearts and roses, but Mother’s Day can be with Teleflora. Throughout the days leading up to May 8th, moms and her children are encouraged to share their personal Mother’s Day stories on social media with #OneToughMother.

And to give me a little color into my every day life as a mother, I received the beautiful Teleflora’s Garden Pitcher Bouquet (Available on Teleflora.com for $69.95) that definitely put a smile on my face and brightened the rainy days!

Fill mom’s heart by honoring her timeless devotion with this charming 2-in-1 gift she will cherish. A luxurious mix of rich lavender roses and chrysanthemums, fragrant white lilies and eucalyptus is hand-delivered in a tall, rustic Provencal-style water pitcher (FDA-approved and food safe) that is perfect for mom’s springtime entertaining.

Motherhood isn’t always hearts and roses. Mother’s Day can be with Teleflora.

My Favorite Mother's Day Gift Ideas from @BestBuy #GreatestMom

I have been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free

This Mother's Day, look no further than Best Buy for all the greatest Mother's Day gift ideas! They have all types of gifts for all types of Moms AND you get free shipping with qualified purchases!

I was browsing their great gift ideas this year, and being the adventurous mom that always seems to have the traveling bug that I am, a couple great items caught my attention immediately!

The Nikon D5300 was the first thing that caught my attention! I have been wanting to upgrade my camera to a Digital SLR camera for awhile now so that I can capture all our vacations, trips and adventures as a family with the highest quality I can! The memories we make as a family can be captured forever with this camera and it isn't too bulky or cumbersome!

Plus, it has built-in Wi-Fi for instant sharing of all our adventures and GPS - it can't get much better than that for vacations!

A couple of other items that really made my Mother's Day wish list this year to help with all our family vacations and times we are on-the-go (which seems to be every day!) is the Google Nexus LTE (Connected) tablet and the Nikon AW120 Waterproof Camera.

The Nexus 7 would be perfect to travel with instead of lugging along the big laptop on vacations! With more pixels than an HDTV and a speedy quad-core processor, movies and images on this Nexus 7 tablet look razor-sharp and process quickly with little buffer time. And with unlocked 4G LTE capability, you can access your favorite movies, games and Web sites on-the-go.

I immediately thought of all the adventures I could go on when I saw the Nikon AW120 Waterproof Camera! I can shoot clear photos and videos while surfing, hiking, diving and more with this Nikon Coolpix AW120 16.0-megapixel digital camera, which features a water-, cold- and shock-resistant design to guard against damage. Plus, it has built-in Wi-Fi to make image sharing easy (and make all my friends jealous instantly!).

Ties that Bind: A 52-Week Devotional for Mothers and Daughters Hardcover

by Kristin Armstrong (Author)

$12.53

"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."
--Ecclesiastes 4:12

A mother and daughter relationship is one of the most important and defining relationships in life. Just like when we braid our daughter's hair, as we raise our girls we weave three strands together: our faith and their faith, together with God's love. If we can do this well, the cord is not easily broken.

In this weekly devotional there are common themes supported by scripture, with one reading specifically for mothers, the other for daughters. Each week is intended to generate connection and conversation, with questions included to spark discussion.

Topics include:
Gossip
Body Image
Forgiveness
Contentment
Relationships
Purity
Comparison
Perfection
Healthy Friendships
and many more!

This year long journey together will deepen your faith, and your relationship in addition to offering introspection and personal growth for women of every age.

I love that this devotion book bonds mothers and daughters in one of the toughest times in a child's life: the teenage years! It covers very important topics that all parents should discuss in a Christian way to their children!

Wake the Dawn: A Novel Paperback

by Lauraine Snelling (Author)

$11.42

National bestselling author Lauraine Snelling brings a small mountain town to thrilling life when a natural disaster threatens to destroy lives.

U.S. Border Patrol agent Ben James' life is in tatters. A tragic accident stole the love of his life and he never finished grieving. Turning to the bottle for support, he lost sight of what was important. While making his last patrol run before a storm rolls in, Ben's canine partner Bo finds an abandoned baby hidden in the woods. As Ben rushes the child to the only clinic in the area, the storm strikes with unexpected fury.
Esther Hanson runs a second-rate clinic in the small community of Pineville, Minnesota, on the Canadian border. Though she has fought for years to get the equipment she needs, the town refuses to approve the funding. When the unprecedented storm ravishes the area, cutting them off from all outside help, Esther struggles to help her patients without giving in to overwhelming emotions. The event triggers a long-suppressed memory, and Esther must come face to face with the reality of her past and learn to forgive herself.

Brought together by the life of a child, Ben and Esther become each other's reason to change.

Help Make A Difference With BARE Air-Free Bottles!

When I had trouble breastfeeding my son, I had to switch over to bottles and formula and it was really hard emotionally, physically, and financially! Plus, it was really hard to find that perfect bottle that my son would like and that was easy for us to use as first time parents! We switched bottles several times - one would cause gas, one would come out too fast, one too slow, etc, etc, etc. It was very frustrating!

I recently heard about a brand new revolutionary bottle coming out in January 2012 called BARE and I wanted to make sure and share it with you in case you are having troubles finding the "perfect" bottle too!

BARE™ Air-Free Bottle:

• Prevents gas and air ingestion with syringe-like dispensing technology
• Teaches baby properly latching with expanding nipple that mimics the movement of natural breast
• Eliminates “lazy” and comfort feeding with natural, slower flow and characteristics that mimic breastfeeding
• Simplifies bottle maintenance with snap-on one-piece nipple and collar and dishwasher-safe parts
• Prevents bacteria by minimizing backwash
• Promotes self-feeding by allowing baby to drink from any position
• Supports your values by being made in the USA, BPA, PVC, Lead & Phthalate free and supporting green corporate initiatives

Designed by a mom, BARE™ is a revolutionary new baby bottle that truly prevents gas and air. Designed to work just like a mother’s breast, BARE trains baby proper latching and self-feeding, prevents bacteria, simplifies cleaning. It is the first bottle on the market that mimics mother’s breast entirely–not just the nipple– from shapes & texture to movement, storage and delivery of milk. It features 2 unique patented technologies to produce a truly breast-like nursing experience 100% air-free and without vents. It sounds like a great bottle for anyone that really wants their baby to feel like they are breastfeeding, even when they can't!

One of my favorite things about this bottle is it is designed by a mom struggling for a good solution. She has a story very similar to mine (didn't produce enough milk so had to supplement with bottle) but took action and made a bottle we all can love!

The product sounds great, AND it represents something we value: moms supporting moms. Please read about BARE at http://www.bittylab.com/ and if you would like to help fund the project, she is running a project at goo.gl/UET9J. I really hope moms like YOU will visit the BARE project page at this fund-raising site called Kickstarter. Here, moms can support the project by giving as little as $1 and be the first to receive these new, revolutionary bottles. For example, if you give $15 towards the project now, you will in turn get that back in the retail value of the bottles you get when they are out on the market! Click here to get more details!

I really hope we can pull together and make this bottle happen because I really want to show our support for all our innovative and inventing moms out there that are trying to make motherhood easier, less stressful and better for our children than ever before!

So head over to goo.gl/UET9J TODAY and give as little as $1 towards a fellow mom! It can and will make a great difference not only for a future struggling mother who needs a great bottle, but you will be supporting a fellow mother and her dreams at the same time!
