Mother's Day is May 12, 2013
With Mother's Day around the corner, here are a few ideas for making the day extra special:
- Plan to make some breakfast treats to greet your Mom first thing in the morning
- Create a picnic basket and take her outside for lunch
- Make paper flowers and present her with a big bouquet
Help with these ideas and more can be found in Robin West's My Very Own Mother's Day. Check it out!
