Often when we think of summer, we think of relaxing days at the beach, sunny family picnics and celebrating the 4th of July. But sometimes, summertime can prove to be a little bit stressful for moms and families who are trying to juggle summer activities, summer schedules and family time.

If you’re looking for ways to get the most out of summer, then join @HAPPYsuperfoods for their #HFStresslessSummer Twitter Party on Tuesday, July 2nd at 9pm ET!

Thanks to all who attended “Echo Gifts for You and Your Home”

Last night we were all treated to a fun Twitter party with the Echo Design Group! We were joined by Jennifer who tweeted from @EchoDesignGroup and introduced us to Echo’s classic designs and innovative styles in scarves, hats, gloves, bedding, bath items, design books and much more!

Congratulations to those who won a very cool Echo prize: @Unkatchable73, @myfolly, @kmpiorec, and @Marlat1112!

For those who weren’t able to attend, here’s a quick recap:

• We talked about The Echo Design Group-that they’re a family-run business based in NYC that was started by Edgar and Theresa Hyman on their wedding day in 1923; that Echo was the 1st brand name ever printed on a scarf; and that Echo now serves both the U.S. and Canada with sites online.

• We chatted about holiday shopping: how many of us were finished, who has barely started, who shops exclusively online or hit the malls. We also learned that it’s not too late to order from Echo and take advantage of their FREE UPS Ground shipping on all orders over $75 (U.S. orders only).

• We learned that Echo’s scarves were featured in this month’s InStyle Magazine and the Echo Touch Glove was shown on both The View and The Today Show.

• We also learned more about the Echo Touch glove — that these gloves have a special fabric on its fingertips that makes it easy for those wearing them to still use their iPod, iPhone, iPad and other touch sensitive digital devices (including other smart phones) and stay warm! (iPhone, iPod, and iPad are trademarks of Apple, Computer, Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries. Echo Touch is a registered trademark and eLink fabric is a trademark of The Echo Design Group, Inc.)

So thank you to Echo Design and all who attended! Happy Holidays!
