Mom's Talk - What Would Be the Perfect Mother's Day Gift?

A little advance notice for gift-buyers

This week we asked our Moms a very simple question: What would be the perfect Mother's Day gift this year?

Mom #1

Lots of Hugs, Kisses and Love. A day at the park for some miniature golf, batting cage, a picnic sitting by a lake taking in the fresh air, sounds of birds and maybe watching some boats sailing down a river. Simple and sweet.

My perfect Mother's Day would be cocktails on the beach, which four of my mom friends in my neighborhood will be enjoying together in Florida. But I can never get my act together to go with them (things like school and work just get in the way). No matter where I spend it, the perfect gift is time with my daughter, who's 12 and is too busy with schoolwork, friends and activities to spend much time with her mom these days, or so it seems. We'll be going out for brunch so at least I'll have her to myself for a couple of hours.

Mom #4

A quiet day with my kids where I do not have to cook or clean up the kitchen. No fighting, whining, or crying allowed!
