This week we celebrated our Digital Marketing Manager, Kim’s, birthday! I am reminded every time we celebrate a birthday here at the ‘ville of how important and EASY it is to make our co-workers feel the love on their special day. Here are your quick ABCs for how to make your next employee’s or co-worker’s birthday sing! We've got a list A-Z to help you make workplace birthdays a blast for everyone:

A few weeks ago I returned from 10 weeks of being out of the office on maternity leave. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked the question, “So how’s it going being back to work?”

Being out for an extended period of time is always interesting. I just had my fourth baby, so I’ve done this whole maternity leave thing a few times. There are three pieces to the process, in my opinion, so I will give you my “speak-from-experience” advice on how to leave, be gone, and return as smoothly as possible.

The new product team here at Baudville has been at it again creating some awesome new product to help you celebrate little moments to major milestones, and first days to company wide events! With over 280 new products to choose from, your team will be well taken care of and you can sit back, relax, and pick out your favorite gift to give!

Kaleigh and I just attended TEDxGrand Rapids a couple of weeks ago and we are both feeling inspired and energized from a day of intellectual and gastronomical stimulation. (Yes, the food was spectacular, and, yes, I’ve been raving about it almost as much as the talks!)

Usually our Digital Marketing Coordinator, Kaleigh is busy blogging or clogging your social feed, but we caught her in the act - the act of recognition that is! Our favorite thing to do around the 'Ville is to recognize each other on a job well done. And that's exactly what Kaleigh did to say thanks to a fellow co-worker last week.
