“A time for warm thoughts and fond memories, for expressing
the feelings and words that often go unspoken, for letting those special people in our lives know that they are loved and
appreciated - always”
Happy Mother’s Day and yes, it is right around the corner. With Springtime quickly turning into Summer, here are some last minute
ideas from Luxury-to-Deals, that any Mom, Sister, Aunt or that special someone would be more than elated to receive such a gift. I have a
few favorites here myself in which I might just have to drop a few
hints to my family.
On a side note, I would like to thank my children for allowing me
to be their mother ~ what a beautiful gift in itself! And especially
to my own mother who has let me become who I am today. I
thank her for all her grace, compassion, and her ever-present love
for me!!! Without the special people in my life I would not be who
I am and for that, my deepest love to all! Thank you and may
your day be just as special as you are!
