Mother's Day is Sunday (yes this Sunday - as in tomorrow), so I know I'm a little late to the game on this. Tons of these would make perfect Mother's Day gifts, but around here we don't hold to specific days when celebrating holidays. Christmas is celebrated basically from the day after Thanksgiving to mid-January and birthday celebrations are usually scattered throughout an entire week - or month. I've teamed up with Zazzle to bring you a little compilation of some of my favorite things that they offer (and a giveaway). I've always found that a person is either a useful or an indulgent gifts kind of person, so I tried to choose some things that fit into both of those categories. So if you haven't grabbed a gift for that special Mama in your life, consider this a sign that you should just send a belated gift! Zazzle has even made it super easy with a whole section dedicated to Mother's Day giftsa list of Mother's Day gift ideas, and tons of Mother's Day card options. If you don't see anything you like there, don't worry! They have a bit of everything, which made it really easy to find things that appealed to my taste. I found vintage travel prints (they have a print for almost any place you can think of), a vintage food print that would look adorable hanging in anyone's kitchen, coffee mugs that will add a bit of color to your collection, some beautiful tea towels, a floral zipper bag that could be used for so many things (makeup, diaper bag trinkets, art supplies, you name it), an adorable tote bag for the knitters in your life, and they have tons of cute phone cases. On top of all the stylish options they offer, you can basically personalize anything - you can even use your Instagram photos! Looking for something specific, like gifts for a new mom? They have a section for that. What about your fellow Mama that sits in the stands with you? They have a section for that too! They even have a list of gifts for military Mamas.

The list of options here are endless and Zazzle is offering one HMRM reader a $50 gift certificate!

P.S. I didn't even have a chance to dive into their gifts for kids, but I did see this, thisthis, and this that would look great hanging in any kid's room. I've also been on a hunt for the perfect library book bag for Ev for a few months now and this macaroni and cheese tote just might fit the bill.

Color in Motion 5k (10% off discount code!)

Monday, April 8, 2013


Whew! It's been a little silent around here for the last few days, thanks to a nasty stomach virus that slowly made its rounds through the Jacobs' household. This was the first one we've dealt with as a family of three and I commend you veteran Mamas on coming out of all the stomach viruses with hair on your head and still emotionally stable. I'm still panicking and wincing just a little every time Evie coughs thinking the gagging is coming shortly after, but we've finally started to crawl out of our holes and enter into society again. Grocery shopping was on the agenda yesterday and laundry today (There is not a clean towel left in our house!). 

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Color in Motion 5k, asking me to share a discount code with you guys and do a little promotion post for them. I am so excited to be able to help them out and share a really fun event with my readers! After all of the laying around I've done this week, I really want to get up and moving, so I looked up a 5k training schedule and am hoping to find the time to get out and start it today. I have always hated running, but I really want to love it. I think it would be really rewarding to run marathons, but in the state I'm in (1 mile is challenging.), it will be awhile.

The good news is that you can run or walk this 5k, and it's kid-friendly! Kids 6 and under run for free and jogging strollers are welcome. Here in Albuquerque, the Color in Motion 5k will be June 8th at Balloon Fiesta Park, but they're also hosting races in Chicago, Baton Rouge, Colorado Springs, San Diego, Philadelphia, Nashville, Las Vegas, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Phoenix, and plenty of other cities! To see the full list of locations, click here. When you sign up for a race, be sure to use the promo code "HMRMCOLOR" and receive 10% off of your registration fee (expires May 31st)!
Alex, Evie, and I hope to see you there!
