Happy Birthday Girlfriend!

July 29, 2010 – 3:32 pm

Birthdays are made for celebrating with your girlfriends!

Who else can make us remember all the fun times over the years and still ‘forget’ the actual number? Who other than our fabulous female friends can make us laugh, give us the best birthday gifts (especially if it’s time together) and remind us how life and friendship are to be celebrated?!

So, TODAY is YOUR day. All day. The sun rose just to shine on you. The stars want to sparkle like birthday candles – just for you! Even the clouds may want to make an appearance just to be near you. And your girlfriends want your day to be PERFECT and your coming year to be AMAZING.

Celebrate a year of lessons learned and happy times (hopefully!) with friends. Anticipate the Read More »

Girlfriend Cocktail Hour of Life – Daily Inspiration

March 24, 2010 – 1:57 pm

“I like to think of forty-plus as the cocktail hour of my life. Now I’m up for a really good time! Oh, I wish, I knew what I know now.”

Marsha Karzmer from “How Old is Beautiful?”

Why do we consider a number scary? The lessons we’ve learned, the memories we’ve shared, the smiles, laughs and tears we’ve experienced … don’t they matter? The friendships we’ve made and the life we’ve shared … aren’t they to be treasured and Read More »

Appreciation – for girlfriend gifts & birthdays

November 13, 2009 – 6:52 am

To be honest, I never really look forward to my birthday.

I enjoy the cards and calls, but would rather skip the addition to my age. And, to continue being honest, I know this is silly (kinda!). I know the numeric value of decades and years isn’t important to the people who are important to me – my friends who love me. I don’t love a friend any less or more because she fits into a higher or lower ‘age category’ than myself. Read More »

January 4, 2009 – 3:39 pm

January birthday gifts for girlfriends aren’t always easy to choose.

Like those poor gal pals with December birthdays, the holidays kinda take over and gifts are given so much that it is hard to stand out with great girlfriend gifts all season. I mean, they just got a bunch of presents from friends and family, what more can you give them to show how much your friendship means to you? Right?

So, we thought we’d try to help by sharing these ideas for great gifts to celebrate girlfriend January birthdays. (Also, check out these January girlfriend birthday celebration ideas!)

Day 3 of celebrating Creative Girlfriends

March 4, 2008 – 12:51 am

Happy National Craft Month!

Yep, in honor of National Craft Month everyday in March I am going to discipline myself and write in this Girlfriendology blog. If you guess that I’m a sleepy girl with the weekly podcasts, monthly contests, spreading the word about Girlfriendology, etc. you’d be right!

If you guess that I will/have/should run out of things to talk about by now, I’ll raise my weary fingers to the keyboard and keep going – because my girlfriends, especially those who inspire me with their creativity, are the reason I started Girlfriendology – a place for inspiration, appreciation and celebration of girlfriends. And those girlfriends keep inspiring me to keep building the Girlfriendology community. (Check out the Girlfriendology group on Facebook!)

This month’s contest asks for YOUR stories on gifts you’ve received or given that were handmade or just creative. A few that come to mind for me are the many knitted and crocheted gifts I’ve received from my college girlfriends Barb and Dana. Each one is beautiful and perfect. And each time I touch the soft yarns and intricate stitches, I am humbled by their creativity and generosity of time and talent.

So, now it’s your turn. Share your favorite creative girlfriend gift to receive or give. It doesn’t have to be handmade, it could be a wildly-wrapped present or a cool gift from the girlfriends who know you best. Share your ideas! Thanks Girlfriends!

Here’s some creative girlfriend gifts to make for your friend’s birthdays and special days!
