I LOVE Mother's Day...even though I show my mom how greatful I am for her each day, Mother's Day is nice to be able to spoil her a little bit more.

Last weekend, she was getting a bag down to send me home with leftovers and her favorite plastic pitcher fell down and the lid broke. I know it wasn't my fault, but I felt bad.

So, I went to Bed, Bath & Beyond and got her this really neat green one with four matching glasses.

Then, remember that thread Gini started about the Maya Angelou cook book? Well, we both have it. I went to Hallmark and got her Maya Angelou's "recipe keepsake" book. You write down the recipe and tell the story of it. I think she'll really like it. My grandma (her mother) was a caterer, so we have lots of special meals she can record.

My brother, his girlfriend and my step-dad are all taking her on a picnic. Last night I went and bought lots of her favorite foods and I'm baking raspberry bars for dessert....and, can't forget her favorite: Dove Dark Chocolate too!

I'm excited to show her how much we love and appreciate her.

What is everyone else doing for their moms??
