Ways to celebrate MOM including -Social Media

Happy Mother's day to all of you out there who are mom's, have mom's, or will be moms!



This morning I was reading an article that pointed out all of the money we WASTE on silly, meaningless, Mothers Day stuffed animals, cards, and flowers that will die. The author suggested that instead of doing all of this stuff... we look our mom's in the eyes - and simply tell them how much they mean to us. Don't just tell them you love them - show them you love them. An afternoon spent in the park reminiscing, will be more cherished than even the most expensive bouquet.



So we can close our wallets? No... I am not saying this. But what if instead of doing something frivolous for your mother, you did something wonderful in her honor? Something that would HELP a mom who really needed it?



Charitywater.org is selling ecards this Mother's day to help to solve the world's water crisis. They are also accepting donations do help Haiti with their current water crisis that LiveStrong is matching. Great cause! Over one billion people on this planet don't have access to clean and safe drinking water.



There is another site called tomamawithlove.com - a collaborative online art project that honors moms and raises funds to invest in one incredible momma who dreams of building a home for children in her village. You can also tweet through this site!



There are so many other options and ways you can go with this.... donate to a battered women's shelter, clean out the toy chest and donate some good toys to a local charity so that a momma in need can provide her children with some fun, help to stock a local food pantry,offer to tweet for a month for a worthy charity, etc... . You get the concept. Maybe you can do this WITH mom in HONOR of mom. She would be so proud of you!



That is it... happy Mother's day to all the great mommas that I know!
