Mary & Martha was birthed in 2007 out of the number one Christian Greeting Card company in the world, DaySpring. This amazing company's humble beginnings started nearly 50 years ago in Covina, California.

Preparing for the Holidays: A Thanksgiving DIY
During the holiday season, it is so easy for us to be wrapped up in all the things we need to accomplish and lose sight of what is most important.
