Happy Mother’s (Earth) Day!

Mother’s Day is almost here! I could give you a long list of ideas but I happen to be a mom too(!) and I’m going to go easy on myself today (yes, I’m taking Mother’s Day weekend off a little early!).

mom tgsIn the past years I’ve gotten everything from a “dogtag” necklace with my children’s names and birthdates (made of silver recycled from film {from Mommy Tags}) to a stainless steel water bottle and this year will be no different… this year, a rain barrel!!! Woohoo!  Who knew something like a barrel for Mother’s Day could be so exciting!

If you ARE still looking for ideas, I assembled a pretty decent list in my recent Valentine’s Day post and all are appropriate for this holiday, so no need to reinvent the wheel.  But if you want those ideas just click here and take a gander.mother earth

For this Mother’s Day, whether you are being celebrated, celebrating your Mom or another special lady in your life, just remember to keep Mother Earth in mind too. She is quite extraordinary and she shares her gifts with us every day of the year.  Just like all other moms, she never takes a break!

And finally, I wish a very truly Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms who constantly join me on this journey… we all “work” so hard for our families and keep Mother Earth in mind all along the way too… and THAT is quite extraordinary as well!

Enjoy & I hope you feel the love…

    I love my Mommy Tags too! Wishing you the happiest of Mother’s Days. A rain barrel is a GREAT gift! And if you want something a bit more sentimental, check out the video I wrote a number of years ago that so many moms seem to love. (Get out the hanky!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TWgzLxbMdo

    My Mom’s Day gift to all my fellow mothers.

    Have a happy!

    Lynn

    Lynn – hanky? Seriously? … I needed a towel!!! THAT WAS WONDERFUL! Thank you for sharing! (I’m still wiping away huge tears!!!!!)

  3. Lisa Said,

    Happy Mother’s Day! My gift (a rain barrel also) is on back order through the city until the end of June(ugh!), but I did get my 2 retractable clotheslines installed in the back yard, as well as some new battery chargers/reusable batteries! So all in all I can’t complain….

  4. Doreen Said,

    Lisa – hope you had a Happy Mother’s Day too! Anxious for my rain barrel as well, but cheers to green Mother’s Day gifts!
