Mother's Day Gift Guide

Reminder guys:  Mother's Day is May 11th.  They say all moms really want for Mother's Day is to spend quality time with their children...(for some this could be true, others are probably just saying that to be nice)...Regardless of whether or not that is what she really wants, a little token of affection never hurt anyone.  After all, she taught us everything (from values to love, how to take care of yourself, beauty and bravery, happiness and laughter), not to mention gracefully handled any crazy shenanigans that were thrown her way...the saint she is.  We all must admit, we actually are the reason for a few of those grey hairs she curses.

We love mom and Mother's Day is the perfect opportunity to celebrate and say thank you to a very special woman.  Take the time to sincerely show how much you appreciate all she's done and surprise her with a thoughtful gift that will make that beautiful being feel spoiled.

Please note:  This doesn't justify neglecting moms the other 364 days a year, but a little extra love on Mother's Day will go a long way.

{The news that actually made my day:  Taco Bell's Breakfast Menu is going National in March}

HARK, what's that?!  The angels singing?!  Alright, so I don't eat much fast food, nor can I stomach much fast food...but I have an unashamed undying love for Taco Bell.  I've been known to drive-thru Taco Bell at 10 am (don't act like you haven't been there...) so, needless to say, I'm pretty stoked about the breakfast menu expansion.  You better believe I will be noshing on a waffle taco here and there...I mean, really, who the hell doesn't love waffles or a breakfast burrito?  Where has this option been all my life?!  I already know the Cinnabon Delights are to die for, so that's how I feel about that.
