So, wow, it’s May already and next Sunday is Mother’s Day. My family is making plans already, and at work, the ladies’ clothes and flowers are just flying out the door. I’m not expecting a big to-do this year, really, though a little window shopping never hurts my feelings, LOL.

One thing I find a little irritating is how many stores are marketing kitchen ware and crock pots for Mother’s Day. Seriously, what’s up with that? Do you know how your mother got to be a mother? She started out as a GIRL. She probably still likes girly things, yk? Jewelry, bubble bath, all that sort of stuff.

Over at Gemz N Gold, they have the right idea. They are selling pretty baubles at good prices, and they are including this pretty red jewelry box with your purchase. Take it from this mom: if you are considering a vacuum or dishes, back up. Don’t do it. Give your mother a gift for herself, not a gift for the house. It’s not called House Day, after all, now is it?
