MassMutual Love is a Gift
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the MassMutual.
The most important people in my life is family. I have my immediate family who are all pretty close to me and those who live with me. My husband has been someone who has supported me no matter what. He has always encouraged to pursue what I was interested in and I have done the same with him.
Almost one year ago, he needed to quit working at the restaurant that he started with his family. He had been working 80-100 weeks for over 20 years and it was honestly taking a toll on him. He missed being with our children and our children really missed him as well.
He made the decision and within a week, everything was final and he was now a stay-at-home dad. I was the sole breadwinner. Not only did that scare me but I really had no idea about the roles that we would play within our household now. For the first month we kind of needed to figure everything out.
He is great at being at home and our kids cannot get enough of him. He has freed up significant portions of my day so I can concentrate on growing my business. Our entire family has never been happier and I can truly say that Love is a Gift.
ABOUT THE LOVE IS A GIFT INITIATIVE
Love Is A Gift is a social initiative created by MassMutual to celebrate those who matter most in our lives. This initiative encourages people to make a statement about the transformative power of love by sharing a picture of themselves with those who matter most to them, along with a brief explanation of their relationship.
This initiative is a continuation of the brand’s longstanding partnership with Easter Seals. As a national partner with Easter Seals, MassMutual understands that love can be demonstrated in many different ways. One of those ways is by providing children and adults living with disabilities, their caregivers, and veterans with access to more information, specialists, and financial strategies that can help improve their quality of life.
Because MassMutual believes that all love is valuable and unique, the company wanted to convey the genuine strong bonds people share with one another by highlighting real families by bringing the initiative to life with its Love Is A Gift video.

PARTICIPATE IN LOVE IS A GIFT TO GIVE BACK
For every photo story uploaded or on public Instagram accounts using #LoveIsAGift, MassMutual will donate $5 to Easter Seals, up to $50,000.
Participate in the Love Is A Gift social initiative. Here is what you need to do to join in:
- Find or take a picture of you and the people you love on your computer or mobile device.
- Upload it to your personal Instagram account with #LoveIsAGift or to LoveIsAGift.com, adding a few words about your loved ones and why they matter most.
- Note your Instagram account must be public for your #LoveIsAGift entry to be recognized and trigger a donation.
- Once the photo is uploaded, participants can share their photo and details of the initiative with their friends on Facebook or Twitter.
- Each upload will trigger a $5 donation from MassMutual to Easter Seals, up to $50,000.

Love is a gift. My family means everything to me and I am lucky to have them.
It is great he is able to spend more time with you and the family, there is nothing that can replace quality time. What a great campaign on Mass Mutuals part too!
Love this Love campaign. Great reminder that we are so lucky to have our loved ones with us.
I saw a mention of this campaign yesterday and the concept is fantastic. My family and friends are truly a gift to me.
Your husband has on a great shirt!
Love is a gift. And I really enjoyed your post. I’m gong to have to upload a pic for this.
I love this campaign. I think it’s so important to spread the love AND the wealth. This is a great thing they’re doing.
This is such a great campaign. I love the photos! Mickey and Minnie are my favorites.
This is such a great campaign. I’ll be sure to snap a pic of those I love and share!
What a great campaign! Love truly is a gift and everyone should feel it!
I am so impressed with this campaign. I did snap a pic and tag it so they will donate to Easter Seals. So easy to do!
I heard about this initiative and I admire it. Spread the love always!
It is always great to read about brands that are giving back and doing something to help others! Good for Mass Mutual! Have fun on the twitter party! 🙂
This sounds like a really great campaign! I’d never heard of it before.
That is an awesome campaign. I’m a supported of Easter Seals so this one is also right up there for me.
Awesome campaign. Really a neat idea. Love your pics.
I think this is a fun contest. Love really is a gift, and none greater than the family for sure!
that’s an awesome opportunity you are giving him by supporting his decision. being a stay at home dad isn’t the norm these days and I’m sure it was so hard to make that change but the kids will cherish these memories later in life.
I think it’s fantastic that you guys have worked it out that he can be at home and support you in your blog. You do have reason to think love is a gift!
Such a beautiful message to share. I love how this campaign is giving back too!
Love the message! So sorry that I missed the twitter party! Love campaigns that give back.
I love the message of this initiative. It sounds really easy to participate too.
What a big change for your family! Sounds like it’s working out really well!
What great share. Love is a gift that everyone should experience.
Love when big companies give back like this! My husband deserves recognition!
I really love when companies give back to the community. Its such a great thing and I always want to do more business with them when I see this. Thanks for sharing
