| Facebook Fan Page: I Love My Mom |
|
 I just saw that Facebook has an "I Love My Mom" fan page that has 1,303,963 members!
I know this because my daughter is one of them! This poem was on the page:
I love my MOM
How did you find the energy, Mom
To do all the things you did,
To be teacher, nurse and counselor
To me, when I was a kid.
How did you do it all, Mom,
Be a chauffeur, cook and friend,
Yet find time to be a playmate,
I just can't comprehend.
I see now it was love, Mom
That made you come whenever I'd call,
Your inexhaustible love, Mom
And I thank you for it all.
Moms wear many hats. Sometimes a dozen in just one day!
If you're the mom let others know which role you are currently playing with these fun ideas from givitup: wife, mother, boss, volunteer, chauffer, chief cook, bottle washer and others on attractive apparel and gift items.
A great Mother's Day gift for YOUR mom too, showing her you realize and appreciate all she does!

| Mother's Day Brunch |

Mother's Day is the busiest day of the year for many restaurants. And really! Do you want to fight the crowds?
How about making mom a great brunch after church? And do it all:
Bring flowers for the table and all the ingredients if it's at her house. If you have it at your house, make sure she takes the flowers home.
Take pictures of her with everyone. She is the center of attention today!
Here are three yummy recipes that create a light scrumptuous brunch that she's sure to love:

| What to give that extraordinary Mom? |
|
|
Is your Mom hip? Just a little? These are a great little tongue in cheek way to let her know you know she has a fun side.
Give one to your mom, a new mom or even a soon to be mom!
Show her you still see her as a babe by giving Mom something from givitup's line of "Mom on the Outside Babe on the Inside" apparel and gifts.

20 Oreos (or other chocolate wafer cookie)

1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1 pkg. (16 oz.) Cool Whip
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
15 mini Reese's peanut butter cups, chopped
1 c. milk
1 pkg. (4 oz.) chocolate instant pudding mix

Put all but four cookies in food processor. Process until cookies are coarse crumbs. (Cookies can also be crushed manually-- just place in a resealable bag and crush.)
Combine cookie crumbs and melted butter in an ungreased, square 9-inch pan. Toss to mix. Press into bottom of pan.
Combine cream cheese, one cup of the powdered sugar, and the peanut butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed until smooth and combined.
