I Heart Apple

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

All of us over here at From-mom are Mac people. We just LOVE us some Apple. If you are in the market for buying a laptop for your college student, check out this article in the Houston Chronicle. Bob Levitus writes 12 reasons why Macs are the best choice for college students. I felt it necessary to not only pass it on to you guys, but also give my own list…..of my 12 favorite apple flavored products! You can by an apple computer and a care package full of apple yummies and have the happiest kid in the world!

I just wanted to wish everyone the best during Move In! It is such a crazy, busy, totally fun experience, so we wish you our best for a successful semester! One of our customers had a great idea and I thought it was worth sharing. She purchased a care package club for her child, and all of her family members put money towards it. Then, each package had a note signed from a different family member, Grandma, Aunts and Uncles, etc. I thought it was such a neat way to show that the whole family is thinking about your student and supporting them. Check out our 3 different club options if you’re interested!

Happy back to school to everyone, and don’t forget to order your Welcome Packages!
