Over the next year, I will be joining other bloggers across Canada as we share with you our thoughts on products from Hallmark Canada as part of their new Press Pause Panel. It is an exciting opportunity to test out and provide feedback on their latest offerings, and that includes more than just cards. Hallmark Canada aims to bring you innovative and memorable ways to celebrate not just special occasions, but the everyday moments as well, through recordable storybooks and webcam greeting cards and the like. After 100 years of helping friends and families show appreciation and love for one another, Hallmark Canada is now celebrating that life is a special occasion, too.

And, as a side note, if there are 20,000 followers on Hallmark Canada's Facebook by World Wish Day on April 29, they will donate $10,000 to Make-A-Wish Canada, an organization  that helps to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.  In the meantime, give your own children a hug and don't forget to press pause and enjoy life's everyday moments. Carpe diem!
