American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk

My 8 week old and I attended the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk in Pt. Pleasant, NJ on Sunday Oct. 17th, 2010. I have attended this event for many years and of course this was my daughter, Juliette's, first time! It was a beautiful fall day in NJ. Great day for a walk!!  (What a wonderful experience Cathy, thank you for sharing! -PLM)

Atlanta Susan G Komen 3-Day Walk

Congratulations and thank you Christian!  Thanks for sending in this adorable photo of you and your girls.  Christian walked with her best friend whose mother is is a 6 year survivor and a friend of hers  who lost her mother last year.  What an amazing experience.

Race For The Cure

My mom and I attended the Race for the Cure in Dallas, Texas on October 16th. My mom is a 33 year breast cancer SURVIVOR.  For the past 12 years she has flown in from Florida and we have mother/daughter week, attend the race and celebrate her.  I am so blessed to have my mom still with us!  (PLM: We agree, such a blessing and congratulations!)

3-Day Walk for the Cure Fundraiser

Here is a picture of Lynn's team, It's All About the Girlzzzz, that is walking the 3-Day Susan G. Komen in November.  They had a fundraiser on October 6th at Miguel's in 4S Ranch, San Diego, CA.  The restaurant was generous enough to donate 15% of food and beverage receipts that were attached to their fundraiser flyer. Congrats to you and your team Lynn!

Great Picture and a Great Cause

Thanks again Wendy and we look forward to seeing photos of all our moms raising awareness for this important cause."

Another Happy (and adorable!) Baby

"Star" Mom Contest

I love Reality TV. I really do. Top Chef, Project Runway, Amazing Race,  I could go on and on, but my all time favorite was Dancing with the Stars. The "star" cast was announced this week and I am in shock and wondering if Mel Gibson, Mike Vick, or Lindsay Lohan will be on next season.  I just don't want to watch. 

But guess what?  I won't be able to stop myself, and here is what I know: I am a sports fanatic & 20 year NFL season ticket holder, Kyle Massey actually came to my childrens' school to visit, I love a good comic, and I think Dirty Dancing is a classic movie.

In honor of my favorite childhood TV show, (I know every episode) here are my thoughts...

(Sung to the tune of the Brady Bunch Theme)

Here's the story
Of a terrible cast
Who I really can not believe are on the show
Some of them have no talent
Lets vote them off real fast

Here's the story
Of some real stars
Who will struggle to stand with their cast
All of them will do their best job
Lets hope one wins

Stay tuned for our "Star" Mom contest starting later this week. Good news is you do not have to dance to win!

"Mind Body Spirit: Seeking Balance" goes to Press

Not to be confused with VH1 Behind the Scenes...here is PeaceLoveMom Behind the Scenes!

A few things to note before you take a peak:

It is about 104 degrees in our warehouse - even with those big fans. We are shinning because we are sweating!

Now that Sandra Bullock is a new Mom, she wanted a small role in our video, but in order to participate you must actually work on the PeaceLoveMom team. Sorry Sandra :(

The Starring Characters:

• Cynthia really does wear great jewelry everyday. She has a great sense of style. Me on the other hand, I don't think I brushed my hair.
• Frank is "Mr. PeaceLoveMom" We all call him that because he is the best sport in town. Even on our 20th ink change, he never gets frustrated. Can you imagine how many times he hears us say "can we try one more?"
• Miss Lorraine has been with us since day 1. She is our color compass and our confidence builder.
• Lupe does it all..burns the screens, mixes our inks, and runs the press. He never says no and he is so fast.

This was a small glimpse into our world. We hope you get a sense of how much pride and hard work goes into creating a PeaceLoveMom tee.

Let us know if there is a "behind the PeaceLoveMom scenes" you want to know about.

We are thrilled to have you Celebrate with us!

It wouldn't be complete without the Happy Birthday Song!

Happy 4th Birthday/Wedding Cake Toast

PeaceLoveMom is 4!!!

It's our party and we can have a BIG piece of cake if we want to...(and we do, we do!!!)

We want to sincerely thank you all for your support, encouragement, and just plain ole good wishes. Celebrating Motherhood with our customers is an amazing experience and we are truly grateful.

To all our customers everywhere: We raise our piece of cake in your honor & toast to you...I know you were expecting something a little stronger, but after all it is lunch time here at our warehouse and we still have carpool to do today.

We will save the bottles of Mumm Napa for year 5 & hopefully we will be able to toast you in person!

PeaceLoveMom,
Lori, Suzanne & the entire crew at PeaceLoveMom

PeaceLoveMom on Fox News!

Big Day Today!

Wearing these, FYI —that's Lori's body. She is the model/partner.

August 4th is a big day for us at PeaceLoveMom.  We are one of the small businesses featured on Fox News during the 2-3PM EST hour.  It is very exciting! I am going to try to do my best to represent our company and share a little insight into a small business, but all I keep thinking is:

* How does one get a size 7 foot out of their mouth on live TV?

* If I embarrass our company, can my partner Lori fire me?

* Does the camera really add 10 lbs. or did I really eat all that candy at the trade show?

* Did they offer to do my make-up because they do it for everyone or do they think I need a little extra help?

Kidding aside, we are thrilled and honored. Please tune in!

Peacelovemom, Suzanne

Going to Market...

Almost finished booth with my daughter, the helper, in her new NBA outfit!

Thought you might like a glance in a "PeaceLoveMom" day as we set up our booth for a trade show.  We are in New York at Accessories the Show, Javits Center, Aug. 1-3, booth 1744.

Remembering that we are still on summer break, I thought it would be a great idea to combine work and fun with one of my daughters. After all, I was going to New York.

The day began with an official New York bagel and a diet coke. Of course, not for my 10 year old. I am one of those "No soda for kids" parents. Also known as, "do what I say and not what I do." I drink about 6 diet cokes a day! It was awesome to eat in Central Park.

We arrive at Javits around noon. Our first obstacle- the show is nervous about children being on the floor. They finally allow us to come and we arrive at our booth to find: NOTHING. That's right -
Nothing! The booth is empty, totally empty. Our booth was delivered but seems to be lost in the building.  Three hours later our booth is found and the fun begins - ALONE. My sister and my daughter leave to go have fun. By fun, I mean shopping. By shopping, I mean at the NBA store. Need I say more.

I open the cases. Missing are samples of our hottest new designs, our PR, and the steamer leaked all over the booth signs. Good news was the booth next to PeaceLoveMom was blasting great music! I just starting singing and setting the booth. I am a terrible singer, but no one complained. I think they just felt sorry for me. Plus we have great candy and we always share.

My sister and daughter return at 6pm to help me wrap it up. We steam, hang, stick up boards, post signs, adjust lights.

It was a long day. Glad to have the help. I will arrive early in the morning for some touch ups. Hope the show goes much easier than the set up. Keep you posted. Wish me luck.

My proud mom moments

I am the mother of three kids under the age of five.  Many days are challenging and stressful, but I am always thankful and proud to be their Mama. My 2 "big kids" make me especially proud when they are kind to their baby sister and share their things with her.

Thank you!
Angie

PLM - In the end, all that daily hard work pays off for our children and the world!

My proud mom moments

I feel like I have a million proud moments and Liam is only 4-but my most recent was when Liam was talking to his Grandpa in MN on the phone.  He told Grandpa that we wanted his friends to fly to Mn with him so they could meet his grandpa and Grandma (we live in GA).  He sure loves his grandpa and grandma!

PLM - We understand the joy of your children loving your parents. Skype has changed our world.

My proud mom moments

My proud Mommy moment was this past weekend when my 5 year old graduated preschool, he stood in front of his class and informed them that he wants to be a Monster Truck Driver when he is a grown up!  Everyday with my two boys is a proud Mommy moment for me! 

PLM - We love all the dreams and aspirations our children have!
