Okay, so Let’s Get Real About Mother’s Day

Not that I’m bitter, I am certainly not, I love the hubby and kids, but lets just say that a mother’s job is really ONLY for the qualified. Even someone stepping in for one day, no matter how good their intentions, will probably leave Miss.Head.Of.The.House, just a little miffed at some point or another. So, take a deep breath ladies (and gentlemen, for those “mothers” out there) and just let it go. Don’t expect that they will be bringing in the carriage (or Lady Gaga styled “egg”) to escort you to your $29.99 all you can drink (I mean eat…) champagne brunch. Chances are you will still not have time to brush your hair (again after whirling around getting all the kiddos ready) and inevitably something crusty will be drying on your nice dress…so just breathe. Everything is fine, cause really the gift is in being a mom and we all know that. BUT, it doesn’t mean you can’t do a little shoppin’ and treat yourself to something special, which makes being a mom all the better.

So if you could go hog wild and buy anything at all…what would you buy? Here are some mom indulgent gifts that may not be that indulgent, after all.

SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU GIFT DUO

Bold Loft, has some really cute stuff, but this one “got me” it is a coffee cup and pillow case set and for whatever reason, I just fell in love with it.

Its hard to see the picture but it says “Thanks for showing me how!” Yep, I melted and for $34.00 for a pillow case and coffee cup…I was pretty much sold. 🙂

Okay, my next “Swoon for” item is actually a real indulgence, cause, um…hello movie stars and rock stars use it. I like Z.E.N Foods, but it is a regional meal delivery service, so I found a great nation wide meal delivery service that will deliver to everyone. Dinewise.com has affordable meal plans to fit any budget, lifestyle, diet or food restriction. They deliver healthy foods to your home and can even send full family meals. You do not know how much I dream about having a service that will cook healthy foods for my family and deliver it to my door. Seriously this is A DREAM! Just think of the time you can save not cooking, cleaning or preparing meals, think of the books you could read, movies you could see or um…just get a shower. If I were to spend money on me, this would be it, at least one week a month, I would have home delivered meals…yum!

In that same vain, you can also sign me up for the Wine of the Month Club, what? I said we were gettin’ real right! So, sign me up, there is nothing wrong with a nice glass of wine to top off a crazy day! A glass of wine also goes well with my foot massage and bubble bath (honey, that’s if you are reading this). While I would LOVE the four month gift package for $128.49 which gives me two elegant wines shipped every month and of course, I wouldn’t mind a year membership for $364.99, (I mean, if we’re slurgin’!) But I could settle for this great gift basket for $35.99 (knowing that we are on a budget) and I would be just fine!!!! And maybe if you are good, I’ll share.

Finally, I am really a techno geek, (shhhh, no one knows this) so I actually would love one of these to cuddle up with (after hubby and kiddos go to bed of course). I know that the iPad is all the rage, but really this is just a super cheap (comparatively) fun little tablet, that I think I would love. The Super Pad, Fly Touch 3. It has Wifi, HDMI, a 10 inch screen, Adroid 2.2 and more…I just think that this would be so much fun!!!! Its an e-reader, a movie theater, a television, a webcrawler…and it fits in my purse…color me crazy, but I think it would be a hoot.

And at $224.00 plus free shipping, I can actually afford it. So, there it is, things THIS mom wants. 🙂
