That is my gift list- I have asked several smart moms for ideas to share, when I compile that list, I will share it! I will say this, I have asked several moms for ideas or traditions based on their past experience and it seems- if mama doesn't plan it..it doesn't get done! I am amazed by how many moms don't get honored in creative ways on Mother's day- lets change that- even if you are a mom, you can still plan something special for your mom! And..feel free to forward this to brothers and husbands- time to step it up fellas! More to come...
