For Moms (and Dads)

Mother’s Day is a very nice idea with a horrible execution. Although I love my kids and family, a day for mom would most rather be spent alone at the spa being pampered and doted on. But since that idea is antithetical to the entire Mother’s Day tradition, I will probably wake up to two giddy girls and one sleepy husband. I’ll open handmade gifts and cards and realize just how lucky I am to have such a beautiful family.

Hey, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t appreciate a present loaded with humor. Which is why I’m posting just in time for Mother’s Day. I stumbled upon a great Web site launched by two moms, Eileen and Elise, (and since I wish I thought of this idea myself, I thought I’d give them props and help them out). It’s called Planet Mom T-Shirts and features hilarious slogans made just for mom printed right on the knits. Sayings such as, “Be nice to me. I might talk about you on my blog.” Or, “Whine? No. Wine? Yes!” (I think these women know me well.) The site also has yoga pants, hoodies, hats and even a few items (such as skivvies!) for Dad, in case you need ideas for his big day.

Check out their Web site and find something fun for a friend, another mom or even yourself.
