Re: What does everyone want/wish for Mothers Day?
I want a Beaba Babycook! I have been dropping heavy-handed hints, so hopefully DH has been paying attention...
That too.
Not to butt in, but read the reviews on amazon before you buy it. I literally had it in my cart to buy when I began reading the reviews and all the mold problems people have had with them. I decided to go with a nice steamer and food processor instead.
DH asked me what I wanted. I told him either a birthstone necklace with all of our birthstones (and I linked him to one on etsy that I like) or a gift certificate for a spa day.
I would have said sleep, but DS is spending the night at my parents' house this Friday so we can celebrate our anniversary, so we'll catch up on sleep then.
If I want something I'm going to have to remember to tell my H. We don't usually buy gifts for each other for Xmas, B-days, anniversaries etc. If there's something big we want, we usually save up and shop for it together. I'm not sure yet if I actually want to exchange Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts or if I'd rather save up for a little trip or something later in the year.
A Lisa Leonard necklace...they are amazing!! I dropped a pretty heavy hint yesterday, but DH sometimes doesn't get them
So I will be happy with just acknowledgment of the day & some flowers.
This might sound lame, but... I want to go Cracker Barrel for brunch with DH and LO. DH and I used to go out to eat a lot, but haven't since LO was born, so it would be a treat. And we love some Cracker Barrel breakfast food! And I just want to spend time with the family.
But we'll see if DH even recognizes that it's important now! He hasn't mentioned anything about it yet and I'm waiting to see if he does.
LOL. THIS! His family doesn't ever do anything for mother's day or father's day, so I'm usually the one nudging him to at least send a card. He's pretty good about birthdays and other things though, so I hold hope.
I haven't really thought about it, though. My family usually does a brunch somewhere, so we'll probably go to that. As far as a present... not sure. This may be lame but a gift card to some clothing stores would be awesome. I'm now below my pre-pregnancy weight by about 7 lbs and am probably down a pants size as a result. I need some work pants that aren't falling off my ass.
I would also like to be healthy. For serious.

That sounds so good. I could tear into some Uncle Hershel's breakfast right now.
BFP #2 5/27/12. EDD 2/1/13. m/c and D&C 6/21/12.
Me too.
I'd like to use MD as an excuse to get the DSLR I've been wanting forever. I don't know if that's in the cards, so I'll take sleeping in and a nice afternoon nap.
Aw, crap. Now I'm not sure! I already have a steamer and a food processor, but it just looks like it would make the process so easy... But yeah, I don't know if I want to deal with the mold issues.
I have had a babycook for almost a year actually and have had NO problems with mold whatsoever. I got it for 50% off from a local babystore that had an awesome coupon, and we've used it to make applesauce and mashed potatoes for ourselves since long before LO arrived. I read those reviews too, and I think the people that all have the mold problems are leaving the water tank lid on after the steaming is over and then storing it that way. It's kind of like steaming up a tiny bathroom and then never venting it with a window or fan. Of course it's going to mold. I just take the top off and let the tank dry out. I really like mine though and am glad I have it. My only gripe is that I put the main container in the dishwasher once (it said I could) and little food bits got trapped in the bottom. It's not a big deal for me though to handwash it.

Zomg, the blueberry pancakes there are the BEST!!
to sleep in that one day like he does sometimes. Jealous! I'm in a wedding the day before Mothers Day so I'm going to be tired & momma just wants beauty rest.
This is what I said on another board with this question! I just want a house keeper for a day - one day of not having to do chores. If they do laundry, then that would be the best gift EVER. I would be happy with a hug and card though.
Hmmm... double post. Don't know how/why. It won't let me delete one either.
This!!!!
