Mother’s Day is nearly upon us, are you ready? I think I am. Almost. I have a small, handmade gift for my mom that I will be mailing early next week. But I feel like it’s missing something.

Happy Mother’s Day (and a roundup)

For kissing the various boo-boos and ouchies
For all of the wonderful flavors you introduced me to
For pushing me to be my best
For teaching me to be fearless in the kitchen
For all of these things and so much more…
Thank you, Mom.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there.

And now a super quick Mother’s Day roundup:

* Mike Licht has put together a list of videos featuring moms and grandmoms cooking.  Check it out on Notion’s Capital.  I especially like the Depression Cooking series (Clara is just cute).  

* Make mom a gift.  Ok, it’s kind of late to be starting it now, but this looks easy enough to whip up if you have been slacking.  Homemade hand scrub featured on Craft.  Created by a mom who was tired of having dry hands from frequent hand washing.  It moisturizes while it cleans.  And it’s cute in a jar tied up with ribbon.

* Maybe you should make mom blueberry pancakes or maybe some scones?
