If only I can be half the person my mom is – I would be doing awesome. Really, the woman does everything! So, what do you do for the person who has everything, can do/has done everything? Spend time. As a mom of young kids all I wanted was a respite from the screaming, time-needy babies. Now, as they are teenagers, all I want is for them to spend a few undivided hours with me – and as my mom describes it, now she craves that time even more. So, when you are STUCK on what to get mom this year. Think of giving her the gift of your time.
