I hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day. We went to church and were transferred in as new members. Then, my dad bought us a gas grill as an early Christmas present, so dh grilled steaks for dinner. I finished my photomosaic puzzle (it only took me a week!) and had a pretty relaxing day. Now, on to todays meme!

If the statement, ‘You are what you eat’ was true, I would be a cup of coffee. I know, you don’t technically eat a cup of coffee, but it’s the only thing I consistently eat/drink every day. Otherwise, I’d say that I’m some sort of fruit or vegetable.

If you had to have one piece of music (softly) playing in your mind for the rest of your life, what would you want it to be? ‘I Do’ by Mark Wills. It was our wedding song

What is the most important thing in any relationship? Something neither dh not I are very good at…communication. I would say that communication and love are tied for most important, at least for me.

With Mother’s Day just over 2 weeks away, I have (finally) started thinking about what to get my mom. I’m probably a bit late in my planning, but I just have to get through the twins’ birthday before I can think about Mother’s Day. I decided I’d start with a search for the “hot” gifts of 2008. Surprisingly, that didn’t turn much up. Just the usual, flowers, chocolate, jewelry, and handbags…I guess the handbags are the hot item this year, since that was the only constant in each list I found. Then I decided to do a search for green Mother’s Day gifts. Boy, is there a lot of info on that! Alot of them are good ideas; organic perfume and makeup, fair trade organic coffee or tea, flowers from a local flower shop, soy and beeswax candles, and sponsorships or memberships. I guess if I had thought about it, I probably knew all of these things were green, as I’ve gotten my mom some of this in the past. I’m limited as to what I can do, though. No makeup or perfume for my mom, as she’s allergic to perfume and henseforth must be super selective in her makeup. My mom loves candles, so the soy candles are always a good choice. However, I think what I’m going to do is get her some vegetable and flower seeds. She and my step-dad are planning on planting a vegetable garden soon, and they always have nice flowers planted so those are two things that are sure to be a winner.

Now, if you’re not into buying anything green for your mom, why not make something for her? I may throw something like this in the mix, too (I’ll be seeing mom 2 weeks after Mother’s Day so I have an extra couple of weeks to put something together for her). These are an especially great way for kids to make mom a gift.

So, what are you going to give mom for Mother’s Day?
