    Carolina Pad Mother’s Day Promotion (& Giveaway US/CAN Ends 5/20)

    By 386 Comments

    Before I was a mother, there was a lot I didn’t understand, I got embarrassed and I took things for granted.  Seeing my first son for the first time changed me forever and I couldn’t thank him enough for that.  I learned to appreciate lazy weekends, making messes (ones that are easily cleanable at least), sitting outside and watching the clouds and birds, waking up early (still getting used to this one), family movie nights with popcorn, and so much more.

    I now have two wonderful boys, ages 2 and 4, and they continue to amaze and teach me everyday.  Motherhood is definitely a life-changing experience!  My 4 year old has speech delays and within the past year has really been saying words.  Just the other day he learned to say “Shoe” after calling it a “Hush” (he reverses words and mispronounces them) for so long.  He can also all of the sudden say and write the letters of his name.  I had no clue he could do that, and when I asked his teacher she said they don’t teach them to write their names yet but if a student shows interest they will work with them.  We were sitting at a restaurant and he wanted to color on the paper placemat and the next thing I know he had written “Aidan.”  It was truly amazing!  My 2 year old loves to shop with me and help put everything away, he shows me his muscles and how he can carry the bags and items!

    In July we will add a baby girl to our family and I know she will definitely have some things of her own to teach me!  From the good to the bad, I wouldn’t give any of it up.  I love the hugs, kisses (even the ones with snot in them), and every little moment of watching my children grow.

    In honor of Mother’s Day Carolina Pad has sent me some great products to check out, and they are all awesome!

    Items I received:

    13-pocket coupons expandable – perfect for coupons, gift cards, business cards and more!

    Desk Pad – perfect pad to keep on hand to jot down notes


    Ideal Book – perfect for journaling or notetaking


    Mini Clutch – perfect to hold little items


    Personal Book – great notebook for list making or notetaking


    I love each and every one of them because not only are they fabulously designed but they are so versatile. The Personal Book is a small 7×5 in ch notebook with a pocket in the front and 80 sheets of paper.  It is perfect for keeping in my purse for notes on the go.  The Mini Clutch is great for holding just about anything, such as candy, makeup, business cards, coupons, and more.  It is small but perfect for just enough of what I’d want to carry.  The 13-pocket Expandable File is smaller than the giant Expandable files but the perfect size for coupons.  My stores don’t take expired coupons so I don’t usually carry a lot with me anyways, this way I can store them in a fashionable file and don’t feel embarrassed wiping out a giant file or binder.  The Desk Pad has 100 sheets is exactly what I needed since I am always looking for something to write on at my desk and this square pad fits perfectly under my Mac monitor.  Finally the Ideal Book is a bigger notebook (not traditional size) and I keep it in my laptop bag for notes.  It has 3 sections, 2 tab dividers and 2 pockets in the front.

    I know traditional notebooks and stationary items can be cheaper but they are usually boring solid colors, fall apart easily and not the sizes I want.  With Carolina Pad I love that I can mix and match collections or buy everything matching.  I dream of the day when I can have everything organized, written in its place where I can find, and still look good!  I could actually go crazy buying Carolina Pad products since there are so many great designs and sizes and the prices are quite reasonable.

    BUY IT: Visit the Carolina Pad Store to start shopping or look for the items at your local retail store like Wal-Mart, Target, Staples, Office Max, Michaels, CVS, and even in other countries’ including Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

    WIN IT: (1) US/CAN winner will receive a sample pack of awesome Carolina Pad products (similar to what I received)

    The winner cannot have won a Carolina Pad prize pack or gift certificate in the past 90 days.  Please allow 4-6 weeks for delivery of your prize.

    TO ENTER:  Leave a comment on your favorite Motherhood moment (special, embarrassing, etc.)!

    (Winner may receive different designs but still one of each)

      My favorite motherhood moment was when my son walked confidently into his kindergarten class and didn’t look back. I was glad he was that independent and willing to try new things!

      My fave moment was the first mother’s day my step-daughters (thought that term is NOT allowed in our house) brought me a card, flowers and gifts. It was so beyond special!

      My favorite motherhood moment was bringing my baby home from the hospital, and watching him ake up each morning.

      my favorite mom moment was when my 5 year old identified (without prompting) that the most important part of easter wasn’t the candy or the food, but the fact that Jesus rose from the dead to save us all.

      mY Favorite mom moment is just having the boys hug and kiss me. They always tell me I am the favorite. Then dad gives them a hard time and they have to cave to dad and tell him he is the favorite but mom knows the truth lol.

      I don’t have kids, so no favorite motherhood moments. Unless you count those occasional “Whew! Not pregnant!” moments, lol!

      The most special Mother’s Day was the ones that fell after my boys were born. The special treatment included a nap and my favorite cookies. (What can I say? It doesn’t take much to make me happy!)

      My favorite recent Motherhood Moment was being on vacation in Hawaii with my two college-age kids. It was special because I know that they will soon be all grown up and starting families of their own, so this is probably the last vacation we’ll take as just the three of us.

      My favourite Motherhood Moment was when our Son smiled at me for the first time at 3 1/2 weeks old. I could tell it was a real smile because his whole face lit up. It was an incredible moment that I will never forget.

      Thanks for the great giveaway.

      One of my special mommy moments. I went to pick my son up from school in the car riders line and he had picked wild flowers for me. The teachers were all ‘awwww’ 🙂

      One of my favorite motherhood moments was the first time I held my daughter. She was born three months premature and only weighed 1 1/2 pounds. She was in the hospital for almost a month before I could hold her. Even though I visited several times a day, the first time I held her was the first time I felt like a mother.
