Mother's Day Week next week

You might say that every day is Mother's Day here on Charm City Moms (with the exception, perhaps, of Father's Day Tuesday.)

But the coming week, as we saw from the previous post on free food for new moms, is going to be filled with "special offers" just for us, stories about what we really want, reflections on our hidden importance, and depressing statistics about how much money we'd be making if motherhood were paid employment.

So we might as well have a week to sound off about discuss Mother's Day here on our blog.

I'm thinking that the next Tip Sheet Thursday goes out to fathers and children (including adult children) to tell them from our own mouths what we really want for Mother's Day, and what we don't.

Or it could be top lessons learned from our own mothers.

What else do you want to discuss during Mother's Day Week?

Any suggestions on how to gently decline Mother's Day wishes when one is still about a month away from being a mom? I know folks have the best of intentions, and I am probably just being superstitious, but it doesn't quite feel right yet...
