Becoming a mother has the single most significant game changer in my life. Between the stacks of books on babies and parenting, the websites advising you to do this and never do that, and pregnant daydreams about what sort of mother you think you will be — there is nothing that can prepare you for the world of motherhood.
Motherhood takes the person you thought you were and completely alters your perspective on life. You realize you never knew you could love someone as much as you love your children — through the good, through the bad. They are a little piece of you, crawling, walking, running around in the world and your heart grows larger than you thought possible — picture the Grinch’s little heart breaking that golden box as he realizes the true meaning of Christmas. THAT sort of growth.
Even through the sleepless nights, teething terrors, scary trips to the hospital, late night fevers, and those moments when you really just wish toddlers understood reason, the joys of being the universe to a tiny little soul is like nothing else in the world. It’s incredible. It’s hard. It’s beautiful. It’s a constant learning experience where no two days look the same and you find yourself staring at them on their 5th birthday wondering how it’s possible you created such an amazing little human!
Motherhood. It’s a bit mind-blowing, to be honest, and Hallmark totally gets it.
When you think of “greeting cards” I bet you think Hallmark, right? But, like motherhood is so much more than raising a child, Hallmark is so much more than birthday cards and Christmas greetings. They are a company that understands just how special moms are — and wants to celebrate them just like we do!
This Mother’s Day, Hallmark has an incredible selection of card and gift ideas to help you convey just how amazing mom is! From their wonderful Mother’s Day greeting cards to their incredible neat Magic Prints — Hallmark is all about making those memories last! You can also use their beautiful Pics ‘n’ Props to help you capture all those special parenting moments in style! Taking a peek through these fun props, I’m seriously wishing I could go back in time to use them with my own two children! You’re going to love them.
My favorite Mother’s Day gift ideas would have to be their Shutterfly One-of-a-Kinda Creations! Customize your own beautifully made Hallmark keepsakes with photos from your family album! Such a fun gift for moms, grandmother’s, aunts, and more! (I know my grandmother would love to see my kiddos faces shining back at her from one of these unique gifts!)
Hallmark makes it easy to show the moms in your life just how amazing you think they are! Take a peek through the selection at Hallmark.com and have a beautiful Mother’s Day!
