Spring is finally arriving in Michigan!
I'm so excited to open the windows! It is really such a simple thing. But seriously, opening the windows make my days feel so much more fresh. I love feeling the breeze pass through the house and fresh off Lake Michigan. YAY!
With Spring, comes change. We have plenty of those at Mommy Necklaces. Fresh new designs and color collections. We are moving some existing collections to OOP (out of production). What is OOP? It simply means that we don't feel that current collection is reflective of the current fashion trends of the moment. But, obviously, things change. So we never will officially retired a collection, but we will move it to OOP. There is no guarantee an OOP collection will come back, the same or different. But OOP always means new, fresh collections and a chance for our new and old fans to try out trendy, fashionable new collections. Awesome! (check out these new Chic Strands below.)
So, as things are perking up around here, so will you! Spring motivates everyone, I think. Locally, a great way to be PERKed up is by getting out and visting many of the local parent/child hot spots in West Michigan. The new grkids.com PERKS discount program being offered by grkids.com is the perfect way to plan outings and save money. For one price, you get a whole year of savings. The savings are passed on to you in the form of discounts through various local establishments and retailers. You can learn more about the PERKS program and see the awesome list of participating businesses by visiting http://www.grkids.com/perks.html.
The awesome part, Melody from grkids.com, has offered a free PERKS membership to one of you. That card is going to inspire one of you to get out, shop, play, and save. See, told you things are perking up!
Want to win it? Simple! Visit the website noted above for GRkids PERKS Program and tell us what businesses you are excited to be part of this program! What part of PERKS makes you perk, in other words? Due to the location specific nature of this drawing, this contest is obviously only open to West Michigan resident. Winner will be drawn and announced this Friday, May 6th. Contest ends on Friday at 10AM ESTN time.
But with 12,000+ amazing fans (on FB!), we know that only touches a small percentage of our worldwide fan-base. That is why MN has some great things in store for all of you, soon.
Lastly, part of my spring cleaning is this blog. Mommy Necklaces is going to start using it more. Not just I, Raelynn, but I want to feature all our great moms behind the scenes, including you. More details will come next week, but for now it is time to open the windows in here and welcome spring to the MN Blog.
While I am promising many great new things, there is one thing I will never promise (and Laura, one of our self-proclaimed 'grammar geek' fans will love me for this!), and that is a typo-free, grammar perfect blog post. So, I'm sorry. I always feel the need to let you know this ahead of time. It isn't that I don't care, I just would rather spend that little bit of extra time on MNs and you! ;) I'm sure most of us are guilty of lack of proof-reading but I do hate to come across as if I don't care, I do, just about spending more time on you, my family, and those neglected email I really should go get to...
Have a great Monday everyone!

I love all those shops but would probably use it the most at the GR Children's Museum, the Java Gym, and Boulder Ridge Wild Animal Park
