Everyone knows that my husband doesn’t love me enough to get me any of the three things I want most for mothers day.
- A butler
- A Bentley
- Chickens (not in my freezer either)
So I’ll have to suffer through with the small luxuries I’ve become content with.
Here are a few items every Mom Blogger is dying for.
A new computer.
I’ve been testing out the ASUS All In One PC ET2700INKS at $1500 it’s not cheap, but it’s beautiful and it’s fast and Windows 7 is a joy.
A smartphone, specifically an iPhone 4S. Three of four Gottliebs have the 4S and we’re all delighted with it (the fourth Gottlieb is just too young). I switched to Sprint recently. It’s reliable and cheap but very slow. I’m trying to decide if I care or not.
A subscription to Birchbox. Birchbox is a sampling site where for $10 a month (or $110 a year) you get samples of makeup and skincare. I bought Birchbox for myself and for my daughter and we filled out our beauty profiles. Her boxes delighted her, mine delighted me. We also got far more than $10 of value.

If your mom loves gardening go to your local nursey, pick out some flowers or summer fruits and veggies she might love and the appropriate potting soil and spend some time with her planting them. I love gardening and I love my family, what would be better?
Speed! If you can’t swing the pricetag of a new computer (or you don’t want to) there’s something that every Mom Blogger needs and few will treat themselves to. It’s SPEED.
The folks at Crucial have made RAM easy and if your computer is limping along a little extra memory may just be the shot in the arm that makes it work well. My memory was under $200, easy to find, easy to install and doubled the speed of my laptop (okay I have no numbers to back that up but it feels like it’s going 8000 times faster so I assume it’s double because I’m prone to exaggeration)
Fantastic ideas Jessica!
thinking of getting an iPhone as well!
It’s money we’ll spent
I have the iPhone and it makes me SO happy. That computer looks awesome.
If a chicken ever shows up on your doorstep…it was from me.
You are a good woman
Jessica, you are hysterical. I know where we can visit some chickens and buy some eggs.
