Mother's Day is coming up this Sunday, May 13th, so I thought it would be appropriate to discuss this holiday. 
There are a myriad of ways to celebrate the day dedicated to Moms without breaking the bank. 
My Mom is always happy with clothes, although most of what I've read says not to buy clothes. I guess it depends on your Mom as my Mom is even happy with second hand clothes as long as it's something she needs. 
If you're short on cash this year there are stills ways to celebrate your Mom by thinking outside the gift box. 
Items such as...
- Picnic lunch at her favorite spot- Make breakfast, lunch, or dinner to give her the day off from cooking. - Make her favorite dessert- Wildflowers or Flowers from your own garden- Do Mom's chores for her- Make Mom a homemade card- Make Mom a scrapbook- A framed photo you know she will love- Wash and detail her car- Call her and have a long conversation- Give her a manicure or pedicure yourself- Mow her lawn (I would love this!)- Watch a movie with her
