IN THE NEWS: mothers day sale at whimsy

Whimsy is having an awesome mother's day sale: 30% off all journals when you enter momrocks at checkout. The Jotter moms aren't exactly the journal-keeping types. If it doesn't require a trip to atlantic city, they just don't want to hear about it. But that might not necessarily keep us from taking advantage of the sale. Alas, our mamas didn't raise no honest souls.
