Times like these lead us to realize the importance of family. If we don’t shop as much lately as we used to, it doesn’t mean we have to stop the fun.

We can turn this Mother’s Day into a happy occasion without spending too much money if we set our values straight and realize she would most enjoy spending time with her children. Price isn’t as important as the thought that’s put into it.

Think of committing your time to take her to a show, to work beside her in her garden, to bake or go antique-hunting together, to simply sit and savor a cup of coffee or tea. Talk about the funny things that happened as you grew up, fill the day with warm memories of your family, and you will leave your mother with a gift she can truly cherish.
