Celebrate Love in Any Language with $100.00 Western Union Visa Gift Card Giveaway

May 2, 2011 by Momstart 1,128 Comments

If anyone knows the language of love it’s a mother. I’ve always thought I knew what love was. I really love my husband, that being said, once I gave birth to my children, my love level changed. It grew to a level I never knew could possibly exist. It even grew from one child to another. Before I had my son I wondered if I would feel the same for him as I do my daughter and I do. Mother’s know the language of love.

Western Union wants to celebrate Mother’s on Mother’s Day, Father’s on Father’s Day and anyone who means something special to you with their new campaign Love In Any Language. The Love in any Language campaign is designed to honor mothers, family, friends and loved ones, who have all provided so much throughout the years. There are people in our lives that just touch us in so many ways and they deserve a little love back. The Love in any Language campaign takes a musical approach, which is universally used to express love towards others in any language. Music transcends all languages just like love.

In a survey conducted by Western Union with Wakefield Research it was found that most people have trouble coming up with a great Mother’s Day gift……

It’s not so easy to find mom that perfect Mother’s Day gift. 52% of Americans report their top gripe for gifting to mom is they don’t know what she wants, and 43% say they can’t afford what they really want to purchase. This May, give a gift mom wants and stay within your budget by giving cash.
Sometimes the most traditional Mother’s day gift can fall short. A recent survey by Western Union found that 74% of adults admit their mother would rather receive $50 cash than a $50 bouquet of flowers.

So send mom a gift card with a little music and money. The cards being utilized for the giveaway are available online at Western Union in amounts up to $100 and include a customizable printed greeting card and a personalized voice message.

Brenda Novak White Heat Book Giveaway

August 15, 2010 by Momstart 568 Comments

White Heat is the first book in Brenda Novak’s new Department 6 Hired Guns trilogy.

Nate Ferrentino and Rachel Jessop are operatives for Department 6, a private security company, and they’re going undercover to expose a new and dangerous cult.

This group has taken up residence in the Arizona desert, in a ghost town called Paradise. Members worship at the feet—and in the bed–of its charismatic leader, Ethan Wycliff. On his orders, they tried to stone a woman to death. And they’re implicated in the disappearance of a teenage girl.

To expose the Church of the Covenant, with its arcane rituals and debauched practices, Nate and Rachel must pretend to be married. That’s the only way they can get in—but being Nate’s “wife” is the last thing Rachel wants. She and Nate have a one-night history that’s just an embarrassment to her now. But they don’t have a choice. Wycliff has to be stopped.

Return the Love to Mom Western Union Giveaway

May 10, 2010 by Momstart 1,574 Comments

So Mother’s Day was yesterday and we spent the day honoring mom, right? Well, why does mom only get one day. Think about it. Mother’s are the glue to families. We run the house, we make sure everything gets taken care of. We are the teachers, we are the nurse maids, we are the painters, the household managers; there is not a job that we don’t do. Even in my house where I consider the trash to be my husband’s job, I do it often. We just keep everything moving forward, always ready for the unexpected. With kids, there is always something new around the corner.

Like Miles running after his friend and not looking where he was going. He had a wipe out. I was terrified that he broke his nose but it was just a bruise and he was fine.

I kissed the boo boo and many other boo boo’s all year round just like any other mom. It’s not until you have your own children that you can truly appreciate your own mother. I love you mom, and you too Teresa!

Western Union is still honoring moms with their Return the Love Campaign. By uploading a photo to the Return the love gallery on flickr you can show off how special your mother is. Each week new pictures will be featured on Western Union.

Two Weeks ago Western Union even had a concert at Camp Pendleton in San Diego for military families. The concert featured Wyclef Jean and Paulina Rubio and gave moms and families a nice way to celebrate love. There are plenty of ways to show love to those you care about. Western Union is always there for you if you need to send some money to someone you love in need.

Enter to win:
