The Best Mother's Day Gift

OK guys, this is your FINAL reminder, Mother's Day is THIS Sunday!

Now before you rush off to grab the few remaining Mother's Day cards that nobody wants,... STOP and think about what your wife AND your mother would really want on this special day.

With my wife busy and back to work now after her parental leave from having our first child this is her FIRST Mother's Day!

So no matter how much flowers or chocolate I give her that's still not going to give her what she REALLY wants... and it doesn't cost a cent...TIME

Being a busy working mother with a 11 month old baby in the house TIME is priceless.

So that is what I intend to give my wife this Sunday, the day to herself doing whatever she wants. I will serve her breakfast in bed after she sleeps late and will take Matea off her hands for the day.

...Plus I got a few other personal things up my sleeve that will brighten her day as well.

Oh and don't forget that other special Mom in your life, yeah... YOUR Mom!

Instead of taking her out to some loud and over crowded restaurant on Sunday, if you live near by... just spend some TIME with her.

Dust off some of the old photo albums of you naked in the tub and go through them with her and ask her questions about how she was feeling at the time the photo was taken.

That will be sure to stir up many great emotions and memories that might be fading with time.

A great mothers day gift idea if you are lucky enough to live near your mom is a digital photo frame loaded up with lots of photos of you and her together. These can play hundreds of photos in a continuous slide show allowing her to look back in time every day at her motherhood years even if your not there.

Alright guys, the rest is up to you...just remember on Sunday that time is precious and priceless so make the best of it by showing how much those special ladies in your life mean to you...

Have a great weekend!
