Mother's Day

As mother to two young children; 4 years and 22 months, I can tell you that Mother's Day is probably not yet meaningful to my children as it is to me. At this stage of my children's life, I know that every day is a day to celebrate their mommy because they tell me they love me often, they kiss me countless times and they make me little gifts as gestures of their affection for me. I know that as the years pass, these daily treasures will slow down and their love will be shown to me in other ways. Mother's Day will become a day for us to make sure we are together to celebrate our family.

When I first became a mother, I had no idea what the power of that word really meant. The first years with my son was an adventure, a struggle, a party and a realization of who I was. At that time in my life, I was full time career obsessed and was completely focused on getting to the next level in my job. When I had my daughter, my life went into a tailspin and everything I knew about "me", completely changed. My career no longer existed and my identity as a career woman was gone. I was now at home, exploring the possibilities of what I wanted to do next. It was at this time, that I completely calmed down and started to truly enjoy my children: our daily adventures, our routines, our accomplishments. I have learned to take it all in. This was the best Mother's Day gift I could have received.

We took this photo last April and much has changed since then. Of course we launched the website HarpersLove. 

My son, Kaden "Harper" (middle name) is now 4 and speaks like a young man vs. a little boy. He now writes his name and is learning to read.

Yes, much has changed in this year. One thing that has been consistent has been my adoration and love for my mother.

Words can not express how much she means to me and the gifts she has given to me so that I can be the best person that I can be. She taught me to be confident about my choices, to be focused on my goals, to love and to give. Her lessons continue every day and I am always her child, even though I am a grown woman. My mother's greatest gift to me is her love. The best gift any child could receive. 

This will be our first Mother's Day celebrating with our HarpersLove community and family. We look forward to hearing great stories, seeing pictures of all of those beautiful mothers and celebrating all that they do for us!

Happy Mother's Day!

Inside The Love

At this time last year, I was moving fast forward on my idea of a custom jewelry website and had established the name, created the LLC and was evaluating logo designs. One year later,  HarpersLove is now a reality. Over the last 12 months, I have fallen deep into the experience of putting everything I have into this idea. 

I have this vision for what I believe I can make HarpersLove become but it comes down to the reality of will it be? Every day I wake up and I ask myself, will today be the day where I get the big break? Some days, I feel completely nervous and grey. Other days, I get over come by excitement about what I can accomplish. The emotions of starting a business are exhausting and when you do it alone, it is overwhelming to say the least. The key is to allow every feeling run through your head, allow the grey days to be there, but never give up on the idea.

I do not have a boss, I do not have a team, I do not have co-worker, I do not have a commute, I do not have a salary. When I worked in the traditional corporate world, there were so many people to meet, mingle, gossip with and gossip about. Your day was filled with 5-6 meetings, maybe 1 productive meeting and a minimum of 3 hours of emails that resulted in no more than 1 significant decision a day. Seriously, not exaggerating. Now, I squeeze in work during my kids' nap times, during their play time in the am and pm if they let me and any time I can get away for a few minutes to think. I accomplish more in a 2 hours than I used to be able to in 8 hours + 2 hours of commuting. 

When I had a boss, a team, co-worker, I would spend my time concerned and anxious about the politics of it all. How exhausting!!! Today, my thoughts are towards my vision, my ideas for making it happen and the excitement of it all. Now the question is, can my vision, my dream be realistic?

The goal right now is 2 things: get the word out and get funded

I just launched my first national deal via HalfOffDeals.com but I absolutely could use help to secure national exposure. If you have ideas, contacts, suggestions please send me your thoughts: michelle@harperslove.com

In addition, if you would love to help us advertise, you can share the website with your friends and/or check our attempt to raise money for advertising. If you can spare some change, I will make sure you get the best deal possible on any product + we have gift cards to offer.

Custom Jewelry

Isn't it Funny how Valentine's Day is associated with jewelry, flowers and chocolate? Most women I know would appreciate any of these tokens of love but if I had to make a recommendation, a great Valentine's Day gift is Custom Jewelry.

Why Custom Jewelry? I offer a few good reasons, specifically reasons from HarpersLove

• Stand apart from the rest. Create something that is special and not like everyone else.
• Tell a story. It isn't just a gift that was bought for the holiday, it can specify something unique about the person who will be wearing it. Maybe it is a birthstone or maybe it is her favorite color. 
• While it would appear that prices are high compared to what you see on other websites, HarpersLove uses very high quality materials which is not always the case by the other online jewelers. In addition, our products are hand made in the USA and every piece is custom made to the specifications of the design.
• If this is something that you want to gift but not sure what to design, the good news is she can design it and share with you via her personal design board or you can contact us to purchase gift certificates.

Custom Jewelry is a great gift and one that she will treasure forever. Some obvious reasons for  gift giving:

• It is Valentine's Day and she expects something amazing ... perhaps this is your first V Day or your 50th with her. Regardless, she wants to be amazed
• We work with brides on custom pieces for their wedding, such as earrings. In addition, we also provide custom jewelry gifts for her bridesmaids
• She is going to be a mom again or for the first time. What better way to celebrate this occasion with a beautiful pendant and the birthstone of the baby

HarpersLove is still a new company and we have plenty of new products to roll out this year. If you do not see something you like but are still interested, we would love the opportunity to make your design dream come true.

Happy Designing!

Michelle,

CEO, Founder HarpersLove
