Need some ideas? Your girls will receive a cute t-shirt for each day of Rush Week, but they’ll want to make it their own to stand out! They can French tuck the front, tuck it all in, roll the sleeves if they like, and of course, they’ll want some super cute original bottoms to match! Shorts are nice (read: modest) since they’ll be sitting in chairs with members at their feet/knees chatting & interviewing them. Remember, Pref Day is semi-formal dress! : ) Cute Shorts/Skirts: Here are some really cute ones that would go with a variety of t-shirts! (And you can click on each photo to take you ..read more

Is your student headed to college this fall? It’s only about a month away, and time to start dorm shopping! What cool new decor items do they need? (The Five Essentials are an entirely different post!) Neon Lights They’ll love seeing their name in neon over their bed, or even a cute Wooo Pig or another fun phrase! Here and here are a couple great places to order a custom neon sign. Upholstered Headboard They will be sitting on their bed to read, watch tv, and probably do homework as well as hang out with friends. They’ll want a plush headboard to lean back on, and it’s always nice to have a ..read more

I’ve moved a couple kids to college now (and now I have another senior in high school…so I’m only a year away from a THIRD ?). I’m by no means an expert..especially since all kids are different! But here is what my kids have needed (and used) the most: 1️⃣ Bedding. Boys don’t care what kind. A fitted sheet and a big quilt make them happy. They won’t wash it all year, but don’t worry. You can throw them away at the end. Don’t spend too much on them. Girls? They buy sheets, duvet, a throw blanket, and alll the pillows-and really use them! *Bonus points for a cushy mattress topper and mattress ..read more

What a fabulous, exciting, exhausting day, haha! Love, Mom finally officially opening on October first was wonderful! I finally had both my city business license and the state permit to collect sales tax (required even on delivery, sorry). I decided to gift some great moms with balloons, happy notes, and pizza! I loved that I had moms who tagged OTHER great moms-our mom friends need to know we see them and their daily sacrifices-and they are rocking parenthood. Heck, we all need a little happy and frequent encouragement in our lives. I started my morning by blowing up balloons in my dining roo ..read more

Fall can be super hard for freshman college students who’ve never been far from home. It’s also a struggle if they’re 20 minutes from home but don’t have a roommate they really enjoy being with! The struggle is real. I’ve gifted, visited, and hugged an exceptional number of students struggling this year. I know they each feel alone, stranded, and they’re beginning to feel desperate. The rush of decorating their room is over, the homework has set in, and Christmas break seems so far away. As difficult as it seems, they need to talk to people. SO many students are feeling the exact same way. Ta ..read more

I did an informal poll last year. I was trying to determine how my business could grow, yet still maintain customer satisfaction. I’ve been experiencing growing pains (in a good way!) over the past couple of years. I’m in an interesting market-my customers are mostly moms my age, but my delivery audience is their kids (college kids)! So that’s one thing keeping me on my toes, haha! (I finally figured out TikTok though…it only took me a year!) It’s also tough to keep up with demand, and I have to limit my deliveries daily (and even my gift boxes for special occasions!). I really need more spac ..read more

Is your college student ready to move from home (or a dorm or sorority house) into an apartment…on their own? It’s a crazy transition time, and we’re living it! We are getting ready to help our daughter move out at the end of the month. She has an apartment with some friends, and my son has done this…but I’m trying to help her remember all the things she’ll need! I know she won’t be that far away, and she can always come home for things. But I want her to have the best start possible. Here is my starter apartment list: Kitchen __ Dishes __ Cups or Glasses __ Silverware __ Pots and Pans __ Bak ..read more

Yay! Almost your sweet student’s birthday! What to get them? I have a few ideas! Turning 21 is super exciting, but we don’t always want to send our kiddos alcohol. It might mark the beginning of the legal drinking age, but that doesn’t mean they will enjoy it…or that we want to condone drinking. I have a fun Arkansas lottery scratch-off ticket arrangement, large 34” numbered foil balloons, and 21 of ANYthing (reasons you love them, Hershey bars, $5 bills, Office memes, bracelets, La Croix cans, Paper mate flair pens, pairs of socks, balloons, flowers, 21 of literally ANY thing they love!). An ..read more

I have this amazing business consultant. We used to conference at least one to two times a week (or more if needed) when I was building a business, a website and social media accounts. She and her intern helped me with a market analysis, and all the things I needed most. Now, I’m not a baby entrepreneur any more, and I don’t talk to her as much, because I know her time is valuable! She’s still always available, but I’m more independent now. : ) When we last talked, she gave me it to me straight. Keeping all areas of mom help open has been fun, but tough. My largest customer base is college pa ..read more
