Have you seen this video yet? I love it! I think it really shows just how much we as moms are responsible for… but in a really funny way. I watched the video not knowing what it was about and then at the end I actually teared up a bit. I’m totally not a crier… but it made me realize how much work it is to be a mom… but also how much I LOVE the job! It’s the best one I’ve ever had and the one I’m most proud of… even if it’s completely unpaid. Well, that’s not true. I get paid in hugs and kisses and really that’s worth all the gold in the world.
American Greetings created a job posting for a company, Rethom Inc. (“Mother” spelled backward), based on everything moms do under the title ‘Director of Operations’ and placed it across 27 markets through job postings, 14 market newspaper classified ads and 2 Google sponsored ad units, resulting in 2.7MM impressions. The job description outlined all of the tasks of a mother without revealing the job was indeed a mom. In the end, Cardstore only had 24 inquiries – thereby proving that being a mom is the world’s toughest (but most rewarding) job.
Take a moment and watch this video… I’ll wait for you!
Amazing and exhausting… with a touch of terror is how I describe my first few months of motherhood. My oldest was born at 34 weeks and after 5 days in the hospital, we both went home with her only weighing 4 1/2 pounds. We had to feed her every 2 hours with a tube taped to our finger. Aside from recovering from a c-section after months of bedrest I had a newborn that wasn’t growing as well as she should be. I was a mess, but I was so in love with my little baby that my life felt like I was the luckiest person on the planet. I totally get everything in the video!
I know my own mom was instrumental in everything in my life growing up and in that of my own children so I decided to make her a special mothers day card! Using Cardstore.com. Cardstore.com allows you to create custom cards by adding personal photos, personalized messaging and your signature. Then, Cardstore.com will print, stamp and send the card for you!
In three easy steps I had my card ready to be mailed. First step was to pick the card I wanted. This was definitely the hardest part. They have some really awesome cards but I loved this one the moment I saw it!
Next I added a picture of my girls to it.
After that I added our own text to it, approved it and placed the order! It shipped really quickly too or you can even schedule it ahead of time. I mean, really, you could sit down at the computer and schedule out all the birthday, anniversary and holiday cards for the whole year. How cool is that?
I love talking about everything that is awesome about motherhood! What is your favorite part about being a mom… or what do you love most about your mom?
I remember seeing that video last week. So awesome. Thanks for the code!
This is a great way to order cards, I am a last minute shopper and I seem to get no selections in the stores.
This looks like an awesome way to do cards! I love that you can make them your own.
This video totally made me tear up! It is so amazing. Love the personalized cards. I need to order them for my Mom and Mother in Law.
Thank you for the coupon and you can bet I will be using it. I like to come up with gifts that are unique and worth saving. This one fits the bill.
Being a mom is the world’s toughest job! I think all moms deserve a nice card!
That is a fun video. I had no idea what job they were interviewing for. I need to get on the ball with mothers day cards and gifts.
I love personalized cards these days. I like to make them as much as I can.
I love Cardstore! They are so easy to use and have great quality cards!
Wow, I have not heard of this before, thanks for sharing. A great and easy way to get cards.
That looks really great. I love the personal touch it gives.
Cardstore is always awesome!
I’ve never felt anything so fulfilling in my life as being a mother. It’s really what I was born to do.
Nothing can warm the heart in quite the same way as a personalized card. Thanks for sharing the lovely video. 🙂
I agree that being a mom is the toughest job! Great video and I love CardStore.com!
What a touching video. My mother lost her mom when she was 4 years old and didn’t know her. She said she never shed a tear for a woman she didn’t know until she had her first child. Then she knew how much this woman loved her. Mom always says “There is no love like a mother’s love.”
That is one awesome video and it’s so true – everyone should get the best sappy card they can find! Moms deserve it!!
i’ve never shopped a cardstore, but i need to get card shopping asap with mother’s day just around the corner.
What a cool site with awesome options. Thanks for the coupon code!
