What A Mom Really Wants
Moms are asked the same question every year, “What do you really want for Mother’s Day?” and every year the kids stare back at us in disbelief.
I asked some popular moms (you may recognize them from around the internet) what they REALLY want and what the best gifts they’ve received in the past are. You might be surprised at the answers are… or maybe you won’t be!
You might even decide to show this survey to the kids and your significant other the next time the question comes up to ensure you get what you REALLY want!
What would you most like to receive for Mother’s Day this year?

Didn’t Tamara’s Mother’s day wish and favorite gift make your eyes misty?


If I have kids and I would ask them to leave me alone at a spa on Mother’s Day. I want to be alone enjoying the day at spa and rest.
that is so funny that Kelly wants Sharpies! lol
Treece hit the nail on the head a home cooked meal, but I am the only cooks in the house. Oh, is Annette incognito?
Annette – I’m so surprised! May you have a shower of M&M love on Mother’s Day!
Nice post chele – yes Tamara’s Mother’s Day gift did make me feel all mushy. Kids can be so sweet – we’re truly blessed to have them.
