Mother’s Day is this coming weekend. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the start of a new year. Now we’re celebrating mom (and those other special ladies in your life), and soon we’ll be celebrating the official start to summer.Time sure does fly.
Sadly, my mom passed away 14 years ago this upcoming December. I wish she was still around so I could thank her for all those times she was there for me. She was there for me through thick and thin, through sickness and good healthy, happiness and sadness, love and loss.
I miss her. I miss her terribly. I wish there was a way I could see her, even for just a moment, to thank her for all that she did for me. Most especially because I was not her biological child (biologically speaking she was my paternal grandmother, but she raised me, so she’s always been “mom” to me).
Don’t let another day go by without telling your mom, or that other special woman in your life, “thank you” for all that she does.
I’d like to think that I am a lot like my mom as far as loving and caring for my family.
Honoring moms everywhere this Mother’s Day, a new advertisement from Teleflora celebrates everything that makes mom so special, and commemorates our connection to her by illuminating all of the inimitable ways that we are “Just Like Her.”
Check out the brief video.
Teleflora’s “Just Like Her” video ad gives us a moment to thank mom for her strength, determination, courage, perseverance, and infinite love that inspires us every day through life’s best and most challenging moments.
Leading up to Mother’s Day (May 14, 2017), Teleflora would like to encourage moms, sons and daughters everywhere to share their personal reflections about their mom at #ImJustLikeHer. Share your thoughts on social media and use that hashtag, and if possible, tag Teleflora. They would love to read your personal reflections. You can also include the hashtag #Teleflora too.
Mother’s Day is a wonderful opportunity to give that special lady in your life a beautiful gift. Flowers are always a wonderful option. Who doesn’t love a beautiful bouquet of gorgeous, colorful flowers?
Teleflora has two new options this Mother’s Day (along with many other beautiful Mother’s Day arrangements).
Teleflora’s Sparkle and Shine Bouquet (Available on Teleflora.com for $59.95)
Chic and modern, just like mom. This show-stopping bouquet is a perfect reflection of her effervescent beauty; inside and out. Gorgeous pink roses, fragrant white Asiatic lilies and lavender look oh-so-lovely in this one-of-a-kind purple metallic glazed vase with sparkling rhinestones that is sure to dazzle her.
Teleflora’s Dancing Violets Bouquet (Available on Teleflora.com for $39.95)
Just like mom, handmade bouquets light up a room… so make her heart dance with this fun and pleasing purple and white bouquet filled with lavender and white daisy spray chrysanthemums, purple carnations, and a medley of other floral accents. This beautiful floral arrangement is displayed within a purple glass cube vase with a pretty pressed violet design.
Here are a few more options. Teleflora has dozens of beautiful arrangements to choose from.
Teleflora was kind enough to send me their Dancing Violets arrangement to review.
I’ve received a lot of flowers over the years. I would have to say that this one was one of the more fragrant ones that I’ve received in a long time. Even before I unpackaged the arrangement I could smell it. The lovely scent lingered around our dining room (where I kept the flowers – on top of our dining room table) for a few days. It was very nice.
This bouquet features lavender roses, purple carnations, lavender and white daisy spray chrysanthemums, bupleurum, spiral eucalyptus, and leatherleaf fern. The flowers go perfectly with the delicate, square purple vase.
I love the vase because it can be repurposed after the flowers are gone. You can reuse it as a vase, or use it as a container. I was thinking of using this to house my make up. It’s much prettier than the rectangle plastic box my make up is currently sitting in.
The vase is a clear glass with purple violets on it. The white part (background) is a white, plastic insert that the flowers are sitting in. I suppose you could wash that out and reuse that too, but I don’t plan to use that part.
Teleflora has so many more beautiful arrangements for life’s moments (get well, sympathy, birthday, anniversaries…) as well as holidays (Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Christmas…). You can even include little extras with many of the arrangements including premium vases, Mylar balloon, chocolates and/or an adorable plush teddy bear.
If you would like to see what Teleflora has to offer for Mother’s Day (or any other holiday/life event) visit Teleflora.com. You can also find the brand on social media. All of their links are found on the bottom of their website.
Don’t forget to share your loving thoughts about your mom on social media and tag Teleflora and/our use the hashtags #Teleflora and #ImJustLikeHer.
Are you planning on sending flowers to that special lady in your life?

I love Teleflora bouquets, they are so pretty. I sent my Mom one for Mother’s Day.
I love these arrangements, so pretty! And the purple/white vase you received is lovely as well.
