Mother’s Day is coming! Have I got a perfect gift idea for you! Pearl jewelry! What could possibly be more feminine and more matronly than pearls? I don’t think there is anything!

I adore pearls. More than any other kind of jewelry, I think that pearl jewelry is most beautiful. It’s milky luminescence and soft curves are so feminine and so romantic. I disagree with the proverb that “a diamond is a girl’s best friend.” I think not! It’s definitely the pearl that is most beloved, in my most humble opinion. And pearls are precious because they are crafted by a living thing (oyster). It takes a long, long time for that little oyster to create enough spit around that grain of sand to form a lovely sphere of silky, glowing calcium carbonite! But once he’s done, he’s got a gorgeous, precious pearl! Since we moms love things that take a long time and that take a lot of work, pearls are precious. And since we revel over discounts and sales, check out ThePearlOutlet.com for discount– genuine– pearls. The selection is stunning and the prices are even more stunning. These pearl earrings are $59. That’s a bargain! I bought pearl earrings fifteen years ago at a major retailer and they cost $100. So $59 is a terrific price.

Also, oysters are something you can EAT so we women love the pearl even more! what could be more perfect than a seafood platter and pearl earrings? And how about the natural multicolor pearls, all strung in a lovely necklace. Oooo lala! Those are so expensive, but to a woman, it is the gift of her life. Pearls are just so beautiful.

Need a gift for Mother’s Day? Your anniversary? Boxing Day? Tax Freedom Day? We women don’t care what day it is. Red Lobster and ThePearlOutlet.com. What could be better??

In my browsing of Entrecard blogs, I frequently peruse bloggers’ sidebars. Am I an aberration? Do most blog readers read the sidebars? i wonder. I have kept my sidebar content to a minimum, but not really by choice. It’s because I have not yet settled on a permanent theme for the blog. AND there’s that annoying little bug with Wordpress (or the theme, or both) that keeps deleting my widgets’ content. I have to paste the data back in from time to time. So the last thing I want to do it add more stuff to re-do!

Well, I have been looking for neat blogrolls and websites to join. This blog is still quite new and it needs some PR. I have been very impressed with the 5 Minutes for Mom website. It’s very cute! I’m going to join it (as soon as I have a theme made permanent). I know there are some mom bloggers who read this blog. Are you a member of 5 Minutes for Mom? Is it as fun as it looks? Let me know!
