Mother's Day

Mother's Day brings the dilemna of what to buy for the mothers we are blessed to have. None of them want anything. None of them need anything. We have money to waste but would rather not waste it.

This year we came up with a One Up on re-gifting. On Saturday night we snuck into my in-laws house. Casually, we filled up a shopping bag and then left. Technically, this might be labeled stealing. Next, we wrapped our little treasures. Sleep came.

Come Sunday, we presented Dear Ma with a beautiful bag, filled with her favorite types of things. I don't think she recognized that the items were already hers until the third or fourth gift. So she got to enjoy receiving and we got to enjoy giving and no one spent money or had more clutter.

A lovely Mother's Day!
