Ladies, let's just put it out there... Imagine that your kids, your husband, or your significant other is reading this blog right now… What do you want them to know about what you really want for Mother's Day?

One year I told everyone that I just wanted to spend the day reading a good book. (Unfortunately, I think they thought I was joking!)

But I really do think it's helpful to be up front with one another about what you want, especially if you have something specific in mind. And it certainly can save you from receiving "unwelcome" Mother's Day gifts, such as clothes that are two sizes too small, or jewelry that turns colors or rubs off on your skin.

So let's provide a little education about what moms really want, shall we? Use the comments section below to share your thoughts about what you'd really like to receive for Mother's Day.
