Edge of Motherhood (a Hallmark review and giveaway)

Attention all you moms out there!! I have a question for you to answer...Ever been on the Edge of Motherhood? You know, when you feel like you could just bust because you think you have gone threw the ringer, or been run over by a big truck? I know that I have had "one of those days..."a few of them, actually. Kids...they are super, wonderful, fantastic...tiring, wearing, demanding, needy~ yessiree, you can feel like you are on the Egde of Motherhood sometimes. There are other moms who feel what you feel, most likely because we all have experienced something quite similar, or the very same thing. Hallmark has come out with a great line of cards that are meant for those Edge of Motherhood moments, to humorously give cheer and sunshine to moms experiencing those moments. The new line of humor cards is called “Edge of Motherhood.”
These cards are meant to help moms connect by laughing at those "special" moments and celebrate the joys of motherhood. For only .99 cents, Hallmark's Edge of Motherhood cards are a great, and affordable, way to let another mom know you care. These cards are available at select stores nationwide where Hallmark cards are sold AND online at hallmark.com.
Hallmark also has a great new collection of encouragement cards for kids, from their parents. We all know our kids get bombarded with negativity and criticism, so the more we can send them positive and uplifting messages, the better! The cards can be given for those "special days," like: first day of school, first drive behind the wheel, first trip away from home, etc. The cards can also be given for their challenges: test day, Dr. appt., etc. The cards incorporate humor and heartfelt messages to help adults connect in an authentic way, showing support, pride and giving a special child a boost of confidence. And some of the cards include originally recorded sound clips too, which play when a child opens the card! My kids love this feature, and it is a great way to really bring out that smile on your child's face! These cards start at .99 cents, and the encouragement cards with sound retail for $2.99. All are available at select Hallmark Gold Crown stores and other retailers where Hallmark cards are sold.

Would you like to win a set of cards to help brighten someone's day? Hallmark is offering to sponsor a giveaway for my USA readers (bloggers and non-bloggers)! Just go check out Hallmark.com and leave a comment about what you saw or think is something great to know!

What a fun giveaway. I would love to have cards around to send out just to say I am thinking of you. I had to check out the edge of motherhood cards and loved the card about hiding in the closet while talking on the phone and the new mom boobs card. :) Thanks for the fun giveaway.

I found a couple of Edge of Motherhood cards that I think are hysterical, "Mom's Food Pyramid" birthday card and the why I missed your birthday card, "...a tribe of evil, smallish, monster-like creatures has taken over my house and they're demanding juice boxes", too funny. I love how you can edit several of the cards, add text and personalize it. Then you can even address your cards online! Very cool:)
