Mothers Day

[mudskipper]

How was it for you?

The haul:

tulips (the floral variety - although I did smirk)
selection of real ale
choccies
kindle book (The Lady in the Van - recommended by someone here - sorry, can't remember who!)


Cooked Sunday dinner for family and my mum. Enjoyed a glass or 3 of wine.
All in all, a good day.

Lazy day. Took family and mum out for a meal.
Very good day thanks.

YG2 up from 2 a.m. to 3:30 and then from 5:00 a.m. So all a bit fraught.

Is Mother's day getting a bit commercialised? It seems to be getting harder every year to treat it like any other day without feeling guilty.

Is Mother's day getting a bit commercialised? It seems to be getting harder every year to treat it like any other day without feeling guilty.

This year, consider honoring your mom by helping out someone else's.

The International Rescue Committee's From Harm to Home program offers a way to donate much-needed goods and services to mothers across the globe. Choose a lifesaving gift from their website—like the Safe Birthing Kit ($24) or Farming Tools ($60)—and dedicate it to your mom, or any other special woman in your life. Harm to Home will even send a Mother's Day card with information about the dedication on your behalf. Bonus: Your gift amount will be matched dollar for dollar up to $25,000 to support the IRC's maternal health programs in Sierra Leone.

Don't think it has to be commercial if by commercial you mean spending money. Most mums are delighted with a home made card, or having dinner cooked for them. Just a little gesture to make your mum/wife feel appreciated.

Ouch. I feel for you.

The little treasure was up from 2 til 4 last night. This is all a bit more tricky now that Mrs OG is back at work.
