The Coolest, Cheapest Mother’s Day Gift Ever

Want to show your mom that you love her, but don’t have a lot of cash? Here’s the cheapest gift you can give:

Write her a blog post.

This one’s for you, mom. And for my wife, Eva, who is another great mom. I love you both! You are both amazing moms.

About my mom: She’s the most positive, caring, generous person I know. She was an incredible mom throughout my childhood, getting us through tough times and making them not tough at all. She’s always supportive, always helpful, and a wonderful grandma!

About Eva: She’s my soulmate, and an awesome mother to our kids. She made the sacrifice to stop teaching for a few years to stay home with our two youngest babies, and they are so much better off for it. She is extremely loving and supportive, and I could not do anything without her.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Great idea, Leo! Since my mom has apparently begun reading my blog, this might be an idea worth using.

Thanks for sharing this! It is nice to know a little more about the personal side of some of the folks whose blogs I regularly read!

This should also be a reminder (Ok Everybody… remember here, OK?) of the importance of telling the ones we love why they are special to us!

I have heard too many examples lately of people I know whose friends or family found an early death, serious illness or had to move away due to job — and left them with regrets of Everyday Time Not Spent or of Phone Calls Not Made.

Blessings to your Family,
