Mother's Day is just around the corner

With Mother's Day creeping up on us, I started thinking about what sorts of gifts I'd want. I already have so much that I thought...I'd like something homemade, or maybe something planted for me. Then I started hopping around the blogosphere and I found this:

How bout homemade knitting needles? These ones are made out of chopsticks. Aren't they cute?

And they could be personalized to match a mother's style.

It was a fun blog where I found these. If you want to check out some other great homemade ideas, hop over here.

And I hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend :D

Ode to Moms Everywhere

It's Mother's Day and time to remember Moms everywhere.

My Mom, pictured above, passed away a few years ago and it's still hard for me on Mother's Day. I miss her. But today, I'm trying to be positive.

So, I'm going to focus on all the 'other' Moms in my life. My sisters are Moms, my neighbors are Moms, even the women who don't have children but nurture and encourage others - are Moms in my mind.

So, lets all remember to honor the Moms in our lives and if you are lucky enough to still have yours around, why don't you call her up today and honor her?

And to all you Moms out there in cyberspace - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
