When I say things like "Hot diggety, I can't believe it's April already!" I feel like I'm getting old, but come on people, this is ridiculous. Didn't we just pack up the Christmas tree and arrive back from tropical holiday destinations? If my pale legs are anything to go by I guess not but for all intents and purposes it does feel that way!

When time flies by I guess it means you have been pretty busy and I can certainly say that for me the first quarter of this year has been action packed - actually that's an understatement. My husband and I experienced one of those life altering moments when you realise that life as you know it will never be the same again - the day we found out I was pregnant. We had been trying for a little while and so were pretty thrilled when it finally happened. Well, the thrilled part came after I paced the house for several hours whilst trying to contact husband who was at a business lunch. As I work from home by myself I couldn't sit still. I was literally walking around in circles so I started to vacuum. What a nutjob!

I am now in my second trimester and I can honestly say so far so good. I have had my moments certainly but compared to some of the horror stories I have heard I am not about to complain. No, my trap is shut. Tight. That's the thing about being preggo for the first time - it's like all the Mums have made a secret pact to hold back on all the gory draw dropping horror stories until - like them - you enter the 'Up The Duff Sisterhood'. Pregnancy is the new purgatory - and the sentence is 9 months. Well, technically it's 10  - average gestation period is 40 weeks - just another factoid you generally don't know till your knocked up!

So this year I guess it's quiet pertinent that our latest competition is for a $150 Red Ribbon Gifts Gift Certificate to spend on a gift for your Mum. All you have to do is become a Red Ribbon Gifts Member - which is a pretty cool deal as all our Members receive 5-25% off all transaction excluding flowers, as well as access to exclusive members only sales. To enter the comp just sign up at our Members Page





It looks like I have had baby on the brain as we have also just added a range of maternity gifts to our selection. We will be adding to the range in the very near future however we were keen to get started with a small range to cater to our customer's needs, in particular our corporate clients (Yes we specialise in tailored corporate gifting too!).



I hope you tuck into a truck load of chocolate eggs stopping only to alternate with some
delicious hot cross buns! 
Have a safe and happy Easter!
