Mother's Day Gifts: Alternatives to the Usual Floral Gifts

Mother's Day is celebrated to pay tribute the role of a mother in our lives. Mother's Day is perhaps a universal celebration because everyone celebrates Mother's Day. Giving Mothers Day gifts is a way of expressing our love and appreciation for what our mom did for us.

Flowers are the most common gifts that people buy for their mothers. This is because flowers are supposed to say everything. Most people would get flowers for their moms because of their obvious choice. All mothers would feel happy when they receive flowers from their children. However, they would feel sad then they have to throw the flowers out once they withered. The knowledge of throwing away the flowers that their children gave them makes the act hard. This is the reason why many people search for an alternative to flowers as Mothers Day gifts.

When it comes to alternatives for flowers, there aren't many things that can replace them except for fake flowers, which look like cheap gifts although they are not. Mother's Day gift baskets are a great alternative to flowers. There are many gift baskets that are available in the market and come in many different themes. There are various stores that sell gift baskets and online retailers who will deliver your gift basket to your mom's doorstep. The choice of gift baskets is infinite and choosing a basket that your mom will like and fits your budget should be very easy.

Mother's Day gift basket should be bought in in accordance to the things that mom likes to do. We know that she like to cook because she prepares all meals for us all these years. Also, we know that she likes to clean because she kept the house spotless for us. Furthermore, she likes to try new foods because she always wants her family to have new experiences and made sure we eat something that is healthy. You can use these facts to choose the right gift for her. Hence, the gift basket that you buy should tell her how your love and appreciate her.

It is a good choice to buy food related gift baskets. They come in various selection, but fruit baskets are the best because fruit is a natural gift. It is similar to flowers, but they don't have to be thrown away, and your mom can enjoy them. For an added beauty, you can choose fruit bouquets, which come in awesome presentation and come with memorable keepsake containers. Your mom can have a souvenir of the gift after she consumed the contents.

Made me cry!

Today Des grabbed Ben's leg as Ben was walking and Ben fell onto his face.

I know stuff like this is going to happen with kids but it still surprises me. Usually Benjamin is the one hitting. It's quite rare to see Des hurt Ben.

I started crying a bit when I was watching Matt talk to Des about what he did. He was firm that hurting Benjamin was not okay, but was also very loving towards Des. He told Des he knows he's a sweet kid and that he will continue to be great big brother. It was just the perfect mix of firm but loving. Made me cry.

I feel very lucky that I have such an awesome partner. He's quite attractive as well.

Dot!

House Stuff

Even though we are renting an apartment now, I am constantly making plans in my head for our future house.

What the kids' rooms will look like, if we can put up a cat fence, all the tiny details.

I promised Des we would adopt a dog when we got a house, so I am also daydreaming about our future dog. Will our dog be a shepherd mix, a pit bull mix? All I know is that we are not adopting a small dog. No chihuahuas!

Having a dog in the house will make me feel safer but we will need a good security system as well. ADT security looks really good.

When we get our future home, we are definitely going to protect it!

This picture makes me so happy. I love when Des asks to hold Ben's hand. Benjamin loves it. It's just so sweet and makes me go all sappy.
