Hello everyone. Melissa here reporting in on the Monday after Mother’s Day, and wishing all of you terrific mamas a belated very Happy Mothers Day! I’ve had Mothers Days during which I felt loved and appreciated, and others which I felt lacked certain key elements including homemade cards!

This year’s mothers day cards, each handmade by one of the kids (after MUCHO prodding and bribing from Daddy) were funny and kind. I did tell two of my boys to add on “I love you”, but they replied “that’s implied!” If you’re looking for mothers day card ideas, try just giving your kids some white paper and a stack of markers and letting them do their thing. In my experience, that produces the most creative cards (and the least expensive to boot!).

Topping it off, a yummy dark chocolate gluten free Mother’s Day cake! That’s what Daddy brought to the party and it was much appreciated since most often I have to forego the cake or merely eat the frosting.

Hoping that your Mother’s Day fulfilled at least some of your expectations, and that you came out of it feeling appreciated, which you well deserve since you are a GREAT MOM!

Thanks so much for reading and check back in tomorrow for a new video.

Oh, and don’t forget to enter our weekly giveaway below. Please tell me what you did for Mother’s Day — I would love to hear all about it.

Love, Melissa
