Crafty Mother’s Day Gifts | Creative Advice from Girlfriend Beth Engelman
May 13, 2012 – 12:47 pm
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother. ~Oprah Winfrey
Remember when we were little and we took Mother’s Day very, very seriously? We made gifts, and cards, and breakfast (which mom later cleaned up) and we were so proud of our ability to do something for our mother.

Happy Mother’s Day! Celebrate your favorite mom (or girlfriends) with these charming gift ideas that are Read More »
