We sometimes forget to send our appreciation and love for our mother's who tirelessly do so much for us. Such empowered women like them should receive all the recognition and praise they deserve. It's a good thing Mother's day comes along for this sole purpose. One of the best ways to shower our mothers with our appreciation is through giving them gifts. I will showcase different moms from different professions, to give you an idea which product will be the most suitable for your mom.
Teresita Mariposa, CPA - Financial Advisor
Terrie Mariposa's story as a professional and as a mother is really one to look up to. Its the perfect example of the extent of what kinds of sacrifice our mothers are willing to do for us. Terrie gave up climbing the corporate ladder so that she could have extra time to bond with her children. What's even more impressive is that she is also an entrepreneur.
"J&L offers a variety of sustainable yet practical products for me to give out to people attending financial seminars. The vegan journals would be able to help them log all of their expenses in and the vision boards is the perfect product for them to be able to schedule and plot out all of their personal finance needs. J&L even allows me to mix and match their products and order custom engraved boxes for me to distribute them nicely."
