Mother’s Day

May 4th, 2011

I have been asked what I want for Mother’s Day this year. The only thing that has come to mind so far is sleep. We will see if I come up with something better.

There are a number of resources out there with good ideas for Mother’s Day, as well as some giveaways. For those of you not yet following me on twitter, I would like to share just a couple:

Hello Giggles has a very funny video posted about what NOT to get Mom for Mother’s Day. My favorite line: “This is like a size… Toyota”.  It still makes me giggle, so I guess the site is aptly named.

Blogger extraordinaire-children’s book writer-awesome role model-friend Amy Meltzer has posted a giveaway on her Homeshuling blog.  It is for a piece by artist Emily Rosenfeld, who I would also like to plug, because I think her pieces make great Jewish Mother’s Day gifts!

I am not a big celebrator of such days… when the kids are old enough to be party planning I will happily accept a big to-do. In the meantime, I think I will stick with hokey cards, handmade crafts from school that I don’t need, and of course, sleep.
