Mother’s Day is fast approaching,

The second Sunday of May is put aside so we can show appreciation to the remarkable women who have shaped our lives. It’s an opportunity celebrate the amazing women who have inspired us. A token gift, large or small is a symbol of caring. An old friend used to say  “mother is only one.”  But maybe we all have more moms if we expand the definition. Whether a birth mother, a daughter, a sibling, relative, friend or neighbor– we each have special women who are nurturers. If yours are foodies- the gift-giving has endless possibilities. And online shopping makes is easy.
