Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13th!
Moms deserve to be celebrated! They gave us life, either because they carried us in their womb, or because they've carried us in their hearts.
They've taken care of our fevers, runny noses, dressed us, tended to our basic needs, our personal piques, and soothed our hurts and heartaches as we've navigated this big scary world.
Sometimes they've been in our favor, and as growing pains clouded our judgement, sometimes not. The thing is, we're ALWAYS in their favor. There is no kind of unconditional love like that of a mother!
Not sure how to celebrate your mom this Mother's Day? Well, simply being present is the best gift, I can assure you. Go out of your way to let her know she is loved and honored. Show your gratitude...
COOK FOR HER! How many meals has this woman put in front of you? Mom's don't care if you know HOW to cook, they just care that you try.
Recall a special memory you have of her and TELL HER. All the feels! All the feels!
And, if you want to wrap it up with something that is wrapped up, I've got some suggestions: Music, books, candy, and flowers from some of my favorite radio program sponsors.*
*I'm giving away two (2) bundles of everything you see on this page! Read on for directions to enter my sweepstakes!

Brave Enough
Lindsey Stirling
Uber talented, dancer, violinist, spitfire, Lindsey Stirling, stirs hearts, souls, and your toe-tappin' feet! Stirling serves up Pop, Rock, and Electronic Dance Music and Brave Enough won the coveted Billboard's Music Award Top Dance/Electronic Album AND Artist.
