In August, I was featured on the State College wedding directory website, NittanyWeddings.com.  Here’s the link to the article I wrote about staying present at your wedding so it doesn’t pass you by in a blur: http://nittanyweddings.com/articles/being-present-is-the-best-gift-of-all.

Over these past few, lovely summer months I was totally “in the moment.” Which meant that I didn’t do much future planning…ie writing this blog!  There must be people who “ghost write” blogs, please contact me– I AM HORRIBLE AT THIS!  But I do want to share a marketing message that I recently sent to my customers and friends.  I got a ton of positive feedback.

How many times have you heard this one? Or, heard the words coming out of your mouth?

She’s off to college so why not send a piece of you with her… the famous “Mom line!”                        She is all sugar most of the time but when she flaunts too much of her “spice” you try to keep it in check! This pillow features the line you’ve heard yourself repeating daily for the past four years, and the one she always rolls her eyes at every time she hears it.  But since you won’t be with her everyday to keep track, send this pillow off to college with her.  Such a cute way to remind her of home.    Show her you really do get it by poking fun at yourself. We’ll make her smile –just a little bit– by designing a pillow to match her  dorm room decor.  And it will be a conversation starter with the new roommate, (”how lame is my mother?”), but secretly she’ll display it with pride and love.                     Call us to order your favorite “Mom line” pillow today! We will custom design the pillow to match her colors and style using your favorite line. And we can wrap and ship it to her campus address with a card from you. You know how much she loves getting special care packages!   Call 202.285.4883 or visit our website: www.thatshouldbeonapillow.com                         “Thatshouldbeonapillow!” ~ When words from the heart are the best gift.

Well there are a few holidays in between now and May–St. Patrick’s Day and Easter– but Mother’s Day is the big magilla, second only to Christmas.  Do you know what your mother will be receiving from you this year? Not likely you’ve given it much thought. But in the economy we are now facing, when every dollar spent is being scrutinized, doesn’t it make sense to give gifts that really make a difference?  Does she need another bouquet of flowers (uninspired at best)?

This year how about giving her her own words? Recently, a client selected a phrase for her mother- in- law’s pillow: “That’s not so ay-yi-yi, if you know what I mean.” It turns out that HER mother said the phrase and it has become a kind of family motto.  She cried when she opened the gift.

Whatever makes them laugh or cry…that should be on a pillow!

Recent orders: 

“You know what?” A phrase used FREQUENTLY by the client’s three-year-old grandson.
