Maid Brigade
Give the Gift of Clean!
A mom’s To-Do List is never done. So many moms we know are constantly asking for an extra set of arms or more time. Getting help with the Daily To-Do list is such a big relief. Even though there are house cleaning services all across the Tampa Bay area but we especially love Maid Brigade because not only do they provide quality service but we LOVE the fact that they are Green Clean Certified and offer a Green Clean Service. They use non-toxic cleaning products, equipment and procedures that are not only effective, but also help protect your loved ones and the environment. Give the mom in your life a chance to relax – and be able to enjoy the Mother’s Day weekend with family. (Moms – we think this is the perfect gift to give yourself!)

Apple
Blossoms
Give the Gift of a Blooming Garden "Designs for a Lifetime...One Seed at a Time."
We loved this spin on “traditional” flowers. Receiving flowers is so much fun you hate to see them go. With these gardens, you don’t have to. The Blooming Giving Baskets are a collection of blooming and green plants. Each plant is potted separately and placed in the basket so that you can care for each plant individually. You can keep all of the plants to yourself or easily share them with family, friends and neighbors to keep the memory of a special day or occasion growing year after year. Each basket is customized for you and no 2 baskets are exactly alike. What a great way to show that special mom in your life how much she means to you for weeks & months to come!

She created portraits of them and soon she found her calling for capturing childhood memories in a fantastically lifelike way. Her work captures the details that only a mother would notice . . . the soft, fine baby hair and tiny, delicate features that denote a true personality. All the while she captures the whimsical, colorful, yet sophisticated rendering of each child.
