The Gift Guru Recommends Elf on the Shelf on "I Am Modern"

“He sees you when you’re sleeping, he knows when you’re awake, he knows if you’ve been bad or good so be good for goodness sake.” If you didn’t know what this line was referring to it could sound like a creepy stalker’s got your number. Have you ever wondered, though, how Santa knows these things?

Let me introduce you to Elf on the Shelf. Maybe you’ve heard of him, maybe you have him already, maybe you have no idea what I’m talking about, but Elf on the Shelf should become your next holiday tradition.

Fortune Article Features Heidi and Recognizes the Importance of Client Appreciation Lunches

Instead of showing appreciation exclusively during the holidays, some businesses are building it into their day-to-day and reaping business benefits on account of it.

By Vickie Elmer, contributor

FORTUNE -- When Kristina Bouweiri started hosting customer appreciation lunches in 2009, she thought she was just helping a friend boost her lagging business.

Little did she know that the lunches, which have been held in posh restaurants around Washington, D.C. like The Palm and Capital Grille, would introduce her to almost 900 of her clients, giving her own business a jolt.

Washington Exec Talks to Heidi

Technology makes the world more efficient. To Heidi Kallett, it also makes memorable moments more “mass produced” and less personal. Kallett told WashingtonExec about her decision to become CEO of The Dandelion Patch, a local fine stationary boutique based-out of Vienna, Virginia. Kallett also explained why she has been able to thrive and expand given the current consumer market, as well as her company strategy that keeps customers coming back.

WashingtonExec also asked Kallett about The Dandelion Patch’s corporate packages and its commitment to helping the local community.

Since Kallett took over as CEO, The Dandelion Patch has expanded to Georgetown, Leesburg and Reston. Read full interview here.

United With Love Features Our Wedding Etiquette Tea

Wedding Etiquette the Emily Post Way

11/10/11posted by Ally

We are talking manners today! The Dandelion Patch hosted a wedding etiquette tea, an event for brides-to-be and their mothers and bridesmaids. This contemporary high tea (sliders and English Breakfast Tea anyone?) was focused on making wedding etiquette fun and practical rather than stuffy and particular. Anna Post, etiquette guru, and great-great-granddaughter of Emily Post, said that etiquette is all about warmth and graciousness. She is also the author of the book Wedding Etiquette: The Definitive Guide to Your Wedding Experience. Although today things are a lot more flexible, it’s still important to be thoughtful of your wedding guests and their experience! Here are a few important highlights that I took away from the event:

How To Help Friends In Need

BY Heidi Kallett

So many of us hate asking for help, but there are just some times in life when we can’t do it all. Sometimes they are bitter times and other times sweet, but we all experience trying circumstances at one point or another and can become overwhelmed to the point where we let basic everyday chores fall by the wayside (cooking, cleaning, mowing the lawn). Take having a baby, for instance. When we are inundated with new responsibilities like caring for an infant around the clock, we forget to take care of ourselves. Or, perhaps we’ve lost a loved one, been ill or had surgery. During those times, we remember and appreciate those who stepped in to lend a helping hand. Should you have a friend or neighbor who may be in need of a little extra help, be warned that she may not ask for it. However, I recommend stepping up and pitching in one of these several ways.
