Do you feel the change yet? Here in the south, spring breaks have come to an end. It was certainly fun while it lasted. I am thankful to have spent some quality time with each of my children during their breaks. And if this year is like the last 10, now it’s panic time as we realize all that must be done! I’m a list maker, and I hope you are too. It feels good to get a few things checked off each day.
We’ll be celebrating mothers and motherhood in 4 short weeks on May 9th. School will be out in May, at least here. That means there are teachers to celebrate and acknowledge. Then, it is on to graduations and wedding season. Overwhelmed yet? Don’t be. Make a plan and you can have it all done, with time to spare. My spring shopping season starts in January. I found some great gifts. Then in March, I attended another market and found even more great gift ideas. These are my hunting and gathering days and I really enjoy them.
Now, my challenge is to get these ideas out to the thoughtful gift givers I know are out there. I have met some really “phine” ones over the years. Sometimes, there is just too many great gifts to consider, even on my online store, 
PHINE & Whimsey. There are so many other products that I LOVE and want to get on the site, but it takes time!
Let’s break the gift ideas/occasions into pieces… it’s easier to swallow, right? How about we start with the next big event? Here of some of my favorite gifts for Mother’s Day to honor your mother, wife, daughter, grandmother, your mother in law, and any other significant woman in your life. I think it gets harder every year to find something new, exciting and different. These are a couple of my favorite gift ideas, but other great gift ideas are available online at http://www.phineandwhimsey.com.

the PERFECT sleepwear for all the seasons of life
I met Lesley Hatfield, the founder/CEO of Nitesweatz, ten years ago when she shopped in my store for gifts for her wonderful personal training clients. She is a lovely person and I always enjoyed her visits to the store. One of her clients complained of having sweats at night. Lesley thought about it and told her to sleep in her running clothes that wicked the sweat away…. and an idea was born for her company, Nitesweatz. Lesley uses all the latest technology that allows her products to wick the moisture away from your skin, but yet are pretty and flattering. Many women find that conditions such as perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and/or just being naturally hot-blooded lend to increased perspiration during the day and especially at night. Here’s a way to gift your favorite gal with pretty pajamas and loungewear while helping with all the changes we happen to go through.

I have lots of ideas for you, but more will have to wait until next week. I am going to see a fantastic movie this weekend. Have you seen it yet? It’s called “Letters to God” and is the kind of uplifting movie that everyone in your family can enjoy. Check out their website here.
