The truth is most mother's don't give much thought to what kind of gift they will get on Mother's Day. I'll go a step further and say most mother's don't even want a tangible gift. I didn't really understand this until I became a mother.

Now, all I need on Mother's Day is to feel like a good Mom. Okay... a great Mom. I just need to look at my kids and see that I've done well. I just need a reminder that my kids know I love them.... more than I ever thought possible. If they can't express that themselves, I need my husband to fill in on their behalf!

So the gifts are nice. Going out for brunch is wonderful. But my true Mother's Day gift will always be my kids.
