I realized something today while talking to a few mothers about their favorite gifts from their kids. They were most grateful and fond of gifts that were made by their children. It wasn't the spa day or the clothing - it was the gift from the heart of their kids. So, what I realized is that mothers are better people than dads and thus deserve better gifts on Mother's Day! My mom still has drawers full of drawing from us as kids. If you ask a dad what his favorite gift was it would most likely not be macaroni art or a drawing by their 6 year old.

Big expensive gifts are nice - but what your mom really wants is actually what the day is all about. Mother's day is for you to go out of your way and out of your comfort zone to make your mom feel special and loved.

To all the mothers out there - you do a job I could never do and I salute you. Thanks for making the world a better place.
