Mother’s Day Gift Ideas

Mother’s Day is motherhood’s best kept secret.  You replace yourself and furthered the species and – wham! – you get a whole day just for you, like a second birthday.  It’s great!  But when it comes to celebrating the mothers in my life, I often leave the gift-buying to the last minute.

With nine full shipping days left, however, there’s plenty of time to purchase a thoughtful gift that says, “you are known, loved and cherished by me!”

5. Little by little, I’ve purchased a Kindle Paperwhite for nearly everyone in my family (even my technology-fearing mother!)
