The Momarazzi Loves Us, Teenagers Not So Much.

momwithcam1It is that time of year when kids all across the nation are feeling a lot like Britney Spears.  Like Britney they are being stalked by a relentless horde of camera welding fanatics. Unlike Britney’s bothersome band of followers, this picture taking faction is known as the “Momarazzi.”

What is a Momarazzi? Well, they are extremely determined paparazzi that often drive mini vans and typically have given birth to their subject matter.

If you are the teenager of a Momarazzi, be warned, there is no better photo snapping season than the spring.  Your sporting events, proms and graduations provide her with plenty of opportunity to take your picture over and over and over again.

How do I know all this? Well I recently received an email from a Momarazzi brazenly sharing her story. She writes: “My daughter went to her senior prom this weekend.  And, as I am a BIG fan of CEIVA, I sent the pre-prom pictures to everyone’s CEIVA as my network is about 20 strong.  Parents were invited only to the pre-prom party.  The kids could not make a move without a barrage of Moms snapping photos.  It was quite the scene which now is showcased on CEIVAS from coast to coast! “

You might be surprised to know that there was once a time when there were no Momarazzis. You see in the “olden days” Moms didn’t carry cameras with them everywhere they went; and if and when they did snap a photo or two, its distribution was expensive and slow.

But all that changed for Moms when digital cameras and CEIVA digital frames came along. Digital cameras made it free and easy to take your picture. CEIVA provided an “overnight distribution network” direct to an audience hungering for pictures of you…. your grandparents and relatives! Easy distribution was the final factor that turned your Mom into a Momarazzi.  Swift access to a family of digital picture frames gives her the drive, motivation and purpose she needs.

What can you do to stop the Momarazzi? I hate to say this, but except for smiling there is not much that you can do. You might as well face the fact that as long as you are under her roof, you are also within her focal range.

So until the next post… that’s what CeivaJoe knows!

Do You Suffer from Multi-Mother Guilt Disorder?

stamp-outIt’s just about that time of year when millions of you will again suffer from your annual spring flair up of Multi-Mother Guilt Disorder (MMGD). In fact, many of you will suffer an attack and not even know it.


What is Multi-Mother Guilt Disorder? Typically, it is the panic and the guilt associated with Mother’s Day gift giving.


How did you acquire MMGD? Well, first of all don’t worry only adults suffer from it. However, you need to know that most likely you caught it as a child. Typically the progression of the disorder goes something like this.


It starts early each year as a new crop of kids smash their open palms in to a wet disc of plaster that is to become their first Mother’s day gift. They let their special gift dry, paint it, and finish by tying a pretty ribbon to it. Then as this gift passes from their hands to their Mother’s, the seeds MMGD are sown.


Each year the gifts for our Mom got better, and those who qualified as a “Mom” expanded. Somewhere along the way, Grandma’s became Moms. For many, because of a divorce, a step-mother qualified for a gift. When you married, you may have not only gained a Mother-in-law but also your spouse’s two Grand Mothers. Then what about that favorite Aunt that never married and who was like a “second mother”? Doesn’t she deserve a gift on Mother’s day too?


I think you get the point. We all start out with one mother and end up with a multitude of special women that should be honored on Mother’s day. The guilt and panic (MMGD) sets in as you try to pick the perfect gift befitting the love, respect and admiration you have for each of them.


Good news! CEIVA cures MMGD! How? Well, first getting them all the SAME gift is the great equalizer that ends the worry over one Mom finding out what the other Mom got.


Plus a CEIVA frame is the gift that keeps on giving. Through the years you and ANY of your Multi-Mom’s loved ones will be able to send digital photos directly INTO any and all of the frames you give as gifts, including Grandmas… even if she doesn’t have a computer! You see, because you send a picture directly to the frame a computer is not needed. This is why sometimes our frames are referred to as “photo receivers” and there are NO digital frames in the world that can do this.


So if you want to cure your own case of MMGD and at the same time connect to one or many Mothers in your life … CEIVA Digital Photo Frames are for you. Plus, right now you can SAVE 20%! Click here to visit the CEIVA Store for details.


So until the next post… that’s what CeivaJoe knows!
