Blogging Through the Alphabet - E is for "Exceptional Customer Service"

I LOVE shopping online!  Its one of my favorite pastimes - to my husband's dismay!  LOL!  Often, there are mistakes - in packing, shipping, or other areas.  I know some people get furious about that, but I try to remember that accidents happen.  After all, we're all human.  Its not perfection that makes a company great, its how they handle mistakes, questions, etc.  With that in mind, I thought I'd start a list of companies from which I've received great customer service!  I find that I'm often more likely to complain about a company than to praise them when they do a good job, so this post is an effore to change that!  This is by no means an exhaustive list of my favorite companies.  After all, there have been many companies that I've bought from and had a great experience, but I never had to contact customer service.  This is a list of companies that I have contacted because 1.) I had a question, 2.) I was dissatisfied with a product I received, or 3.) there was a mistake when my order was packed or shipped.  All of these companies provided me with what I consider to be wonderful customer service and I thought my readers should hear about it!

1.) ZoLi - We received a Sumo Snack Stacker in our very first Citrus Lane box and let me just start by saying how much we LOVE it!!! Its a fabulous product!!! It holds tons of snacks, is easy to hold and seals very well! Unfortunately, during a particularly bad bought with "mommy brain" I threw it in the dishwasher and the lid fell into the bottom of said dishwasher - where it stayed for several days, getting washed OVER AND OVER AND OVER again until it finally melted. I was crushed! I got on their Facebook page and let them know what happened and asked if I could buy a new top. That same day I received an email from their customer service saying they would be very happy to send me a new top for free. I was SHOCKED!!! After all, my "mommy brain" issues are certainly not their fault! But I was so pleased at their friendly, helpful, "above and beyond" attitude!

The views expressed in this review are my own, honest opinions and any claims should be verified on the sponsor's site.

I was super excited when the folks at Easy Canvas Prints contacted me about a review!  It didn't take me long at all to pick the photo that I wanted to use!  I'd just taken a beautiful pic of my little girlies!  It looked pretty awesome, if I do say so myself!  (It was one of those times when you take 150 photos and out of that bunch you get ONE good picture.  LOL!!!   But its SOOOO worth that one!  I began to worry though.  I mean, this picture looks great as a regular photograph.  I was pretty pleased with my effort.  I'd hate to order it on a huge canvas and have it look horrible.  That would really stink!  Thankfully, Easy Canvas Prints did a great job!!!

Blogging Through the Alphabet - D is for "Dumb and Dumber Build a Cow"

Well, its time for letter "D" in our "Blogging Through the Alphabet" series!  WooHoo!!!  This week I'm doing something a little unconventional.  I'm actually using an old blog post - from June 12, 2012.  I know.  I know.  That's slack.  But I came across this post a week or so ago and it reminded me how much I had learned from this Bible story, so I thought it was worth repeating.  If you've been with my blog since the very beginning, then you may have read it.  If not, it may be totally new to you.  Either way, give it a read!  Its been my experience that God's word always has something to teach us!  I hope this lesson from the life of Aaron teaches you as much as it has taught me!


June 6, 2012 -
My little one and I finished the book of Exodus this morning (on our "journey through the Bible")! We were very excited! With 40 chapters - reading approximately one chapter per day - it took us more than a month! But what a blessing! We both learned SOOOO many things!!!

One passage that really stuck out to me was Exodus 32: 1-10. You may remember it as the story of the golden calf. If you aren't familiar, let me "nut-shell" it for you. - Moses was up on the mountain receiving the law from God Himself. He'd been up there for more than a month and while he was gone, his brother Aaron was in charge of the people. But the people began to worry - as they were prone to do - that Moses had been gone too long. They began to wonder if something had happened to him. And they began to doubt God. So they came to Aaron and told him to make them "gods who will go before us." (Here's your "Dumb.")
