Get Hilarious Mother’s Day Cards from Treat.com
As a blogger, I’m in a ton of affiliate programs and therefore get a ton of affiliate mail that I almost never read, but with Mother’s Day coming up soon, this one caught my eye because I’m always in the mood for humor.
They have over 450 cute cards to choose from for Mother’s Day and you can personalize them to make them personally hilarious for mom. My mom can always use a good cackle, so rather than go to the local drugstore this year, I’ll probably give buying a card online a try.
Here’s one that’s pretty fitting…
Although… occasional may be pushing it a bit.
Treat.com is a little different in that you subscribe to a card club and buy at the very least, six cards at a time. They cost like $2.49 each and you have to pay shipping, but have you noticed how much cards cost at the store nowadays? Freaking $6+ bucks each! I flipped out when I saw how much my total was when I took the kids Valentine’s Day shopping in February.
Right now Treat.com is having a sale on Mother’s Day cards, so you can get an additional 25% off of these cards by using the checkout code TREATMOM25. The deadline for this promo is tomorrow, April 30 at 11:49 PM Pacific, so get started on your order like right now.

All my life I’ve only used your standard roll-on deodorant. I’ve used the clear kind and the white kind, but they’ve always been solid roll-ons.

Yakisoba for People on the Go
Many people nowadays prefer eating something that is easy to prepare, healthy, and delicious. Yakisoba, which means “fried noodles” in Japanese, has all these qualities. You can prepare this dish in just a few minutes. It consists of noodles, vegetables, and meat and is really tasty.
Mimi Collage of Cute
Last year, after I stupidly suggested we go to the Hawaiian Humane Society “just to look” at the puppies I saw they had on Facebook, we ended up taking home a puppy. She was so tiny and we were sure our dog Max would find a way to accidentally eat her, but she grew up just fine and is still running around our yard like a frantic puppy.

Recipe: Japanese Ozoni Soup
Although I will be 34 this year, this New Year’s is the first time I’ve made my own ozoni. Ozoni is a Japanese New Year’s soup that I can remember eating from small kid time, but I usually just eat soup other people prepare. From eating it through the years, I knew what the basics were, but I wasn’t sure about a recipe, so I asked around Twitter and Facebook. The responses I got and the articles I found online all seemed extremely basic. So although I got some helpful tips, I ended up deciding it was simple enough for me to just wing it.

Homemade New Year’s Mochi
The other day, I headed to the market to buy our New Year’s eve food with my list in hand. I got everything for ozoni (Japanese New Year’s soup) except for the mochi because although Foodland usually sells komochi, they didn’t have anything but chi chi dango. Unacceptable! I made plans to go to Nijiya Market to look for mochi later.
Last Day for Tiny Prints Orders Tomorrow
Still need Christmas cards that don’t suck? I know I do. It took us 5 days to bring the tree in and I still haven’t taken our holiday photo. I normally send photo cards that I get done at Costco, but lately I’ve been really disappointed in their quality.
