Mom’s on the Move

For all the mothers who sat through sometimes long and torturous elementary school productions and waited patiently for a brief glimpse of their own little prodigy among the hundreds of others, and to all the moms whose hearts rose and fell every time with every athletic feat or failure, we offer a heartfelt thank you. To show gratitude for mom’s caring and nurturing, rolling out encourages the recipients of all that love to do a little better than perfume and flowers and send your overworked mom on a Mother’s Day retreat for a day or a weekend. –roz edward
