Happy Mother's Day

Today, May 10th, 2009, is Mother's Day, and as always it finds me and many of my friends scrambling to figure out the perfect gift for our moms or mothers-in-law. If your mom is like mine, when asked what she wants for her special day she will always reply with "Nothing, don't buy me anything." I wrack my brain each year, but this year will be different. I am inviting Mom (Ida) to join me in some mother-daughter bonding. We're going shopping: at POSH.

My earliest memories of my mother are when she would take me back-to-school shopping at Alexander's and allow me to pick out my fall outfits. Now, with a little role reversal, I will get to buy Mom whatever she chooses at POSH. And since the prices are so affordable, it's a gift that I can give without spending beyond my unemployment budget.

This is actually an extra special gift because my mom has macular degeneration, and I wanted her to know that my volunteer position with the POSH Sale benefits others who are dealing with this disease and other types of vision loss as well. Since all proceeds benefit Lighthouse International and their services to help people who are visually impaired.

So with love, with all my heart, and with a great cause in mind, I've invited my uber-fashionable mom (hey, I had to get it from somewhere, right?!) to POSH to shop for Mother's Day. Why not invite the special mom in your life? It's better than a spa gift, perfume, etc. and it's a great way to bond and show mom how much you love her and love shopping with her.
