When is Valentine’s Day?
(AD) February 14th, 2019 is on it’s way and it is one of my favorite big holidays of the year! I love getting cards – especially in the mail from friends or family who I don’t get to see everyday. I love the feeling of opening a bright red or pink card and reading handwritten words from a friend. It warms my soul in these winter months!
This year I am taking this feeling and spreading the love back to my friends! But not just any and all of my friends – a specific group. My fellow moms are a group that seems to be overlooked. I want to change that!
Who needs a sweet Valentine’s Day card the most? Is it your single friends? Is it Dads? Is it your children? Is it Grandma? Well, they can always use some extra love – but the loneliest people I have encountered lately – are moms. Let’s have a Galentine’s Day wave of love this February!
What is Gal-entine’s Day?
What is Galentine’s Day you ask? It’s the sweetness of Valentine’s Day spread to your gal pals and girlfriends! It was essentially created to bridge the gap between the over the top Valentine’s expectations and women’s real Valentine’s day plans. It is a time for girls to celebrate female friendship and encourage each other in love and support for one another. Galentine’s Day is the perfect way to show your friends that you care!
How I celebrate Gal-entine’s Day
I vow this holiday to pick 5 mommy friends and mail them a hand written heartfelt message in a Hallmark Card (bought at Walmart) and mail it to them in mid February. Think of all the mommas you know that need a little love and support. Let’s support each other this Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day.

Why moms?
Do you want to know why moms need you to send a little extra love this Valentine’s Day? I’ll tell you all about it! I know a thing or two about being a working mom, stay at home mom, and work at home mom. From a first hand perspective, I can tell you, the immense pressure of motherhood in 2019 is incredible.
We are expected to look like models, feed our children like royalty, have a romantic life and balance a career. We can be anything, but we can’t do everything. How can we be expected to do it all?
I have a little secret for you. You aren’t! Let it go! And please let go of the judgement toward other moms who are just trying to survive like the rest of us. Maybe we ran into the grocery store in our pajamas, maybe our kid is having a meltdown in public and we don’t know how to handle him/her, maybe we didn’t make anything for the bake sale, maybe we aren’t bikini beach body ready.
And that is ok. It is ok because the main focus is survival and raising little humans. That’s all we really need to do. So I highly encourage you this holiday season to show some extra love to ALL THE MOMS you know this February. Let’s have a Galentine’s Day!
How to have a great Galentine’s Day
Think of all the mommas you know what need a little tolerance and support. There are a million ways to be a good mom. Pick a handful of moms and list them out.
- Mommy, Address, Reason why you love her.
- Mommy, Address, Reason why you love her.
- Mommy, Address, Reason why you love her.
- Mommy, Address, Reason why you love her.
- Mommy, Address, Reason why you love her.
I suggest you gather 5, but if you want to do more – go ahead! The more love , the better. This is a great time to reach out to a friend you have lost contact with but still follow on social media. It is a great time to make amends with a women you might have cut ties with. It is a perfect time to tell your mommy friends how much you love them and celebrate them. It means so much to hear appreciation from different sources – this is especially true for moms who don’t always get the praise they deserve.
Where to get the best deal on a holiday greeting card…
Do you need some direction on where to get the perfect Valentine’s cards? Let me tell, you gotta go browse the Hallmark Paper Wonder Cards and Hallmark Signature Cards at Walmart! The adorable artistry will make you “awwwwwwwwww” out loud! Hallmark has mushy romantic cards, cards for your family and kind cards to give to your friends! The only place I go to for cards is Walmart. First of all because I’m already grocery shopping there and 2nd of all because of the great deals they have going on lately! There are 3 fantastic offers I want to share with you.
- In-aisle coupon:
- Get $2 off a purchase of 3 Hallmark Cards
- Offer available through 2/15/19 or while supplies last.
- Ibotta offer:
- Earn $1 off a card purchase of $2.97 or more.
- Offer available through 2/17/19 or while supplies last.
- In-aisle plush offer:
- Get $3 off a plush item with the purchase of 3 Hallmark Cards
- Offer available through 2/14/19 or while supplies last.
Don’t forget that all the Hallmark products will be found both in the card aisle and on seasonal displays! So check both areas at your local Walmart. At my Walmart, the Hallmark Display was just at the corner of the “Home” section, beside all the party supplies. It was the first and largest display in the greeting card section.
You have to see the Hallmark Paper Wonder Cards, they are the most beautiful pop up cards that will step up your Valentine’s game! The Hallmark Signature Cards are classic gorgeous cards that have a little something special to make them stand out among the rest. You’ll see when you browse the Hallmark. section – they have a grey label and are usually in the middle area!
I would love to hear all about your Galentines plans! Please drop me a comment below and let me know your plans to spread love and kindness! You will never regret loving a friend. Send a mommy friend a Hallmark card this February!
