What do you get for the woman who has everything? It’s an age-old question.
But really. What do you get for the woman who has everything?

I asked myself this question time and time again over the past few weeks. My mom, Babs, is a very special, thoughtful lady, so not just any present would do for Mother’s Day.

Babs likes this blog…
…and Babs likes guilty pleasures (as you know, she taught this grasshopper everything)…
…and who doesn’t love haikus?! This entire blog has been a build-up to the grand poobah of all haikus, really.

It wasn’t that long ago. …You don’t remember? Though we laughed later, -Once we’d changed our underwear- I was scarred for life. You veered to the right, Then we almost got side-swiped; A g.d. close call. Horns were a-honking, My life flashed before my eyes, But you didn’t care! We almost died and All we got was this picture For my
Was it worth it, Babs?
Almost killing us to get
to Pier 1 Imports?

Happy Mother’s Day, Babs!
I’d also like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful mother-in-law and my sisters (both in blood and in law)!
And to YOU, ‘o course! This includes moms of pets. Don’t let anyone tell you us it’s not EXACTLY like having real kids.
In Babs’s honor: Is there a store you’d die to get to?
