Mother of All Giveaways: Mommy Cards and Flowers
It's day three of our Mother's Day giveaway week and the Mother of All Giveaways continues. Today we announce the winner of our Fine Art of Family Giveaway at the end of this post and continue with two prizes, Mommy Cards and Flowers, plus learn about another only in New York unique gift idea for any mom in your life. I don't know about you guys, but being that Mother's Day is still a new holiday for me, I get sort of carried away and forget that I need to get something for my mom.
Mommy Calling Cards
If you've ever tried to exchange info with a new friend at the playground only to realize that you no longer carry things like pens, then Mommy Cards are for you. The new business cards for parenting, they include your name, your children's names and your contact information. You choose from 9 elegantly designed cards and can customize in any way you like, I really like the Indigo and Swirls for Sarah designs. For this Mother's Day giveaway we are happy to give one lucky reader 100 customized cards and a carrying case. And, for anyone interested in ordering cards for yourself or for another mother, there is a special 10% discount for Mommy Poppins readers when you use the code 'mothersday' which will be valid through Sunday.
Flowers Please
What could be more classic for Mother's Day than flowers? And there is still time to order flowers from 1800 Flowers and get them to her on time! They really do have a ridiculously large array of flowers to choose from, from purple carnations to the classy Martha Stewart line which serves up beauties like elegant bouquets of orchids. We are happy to let you know that as part of our Mother's Day giveaway week one lucky reader will receive a $50 gift certificate to 1800 flowers to pamper yourself or someone else with any flowers you choose, I really like Martha's White Queen Anne's Lace and Hydrangea arrangement, oh Martha, you had me at flowers.
Plant Flowers in Her Name
And, here is another unique Mother's Day gift, you can give flowers for all the city to enjoy by having bulbs planted in Central Park in Mom's honor. With a donation of $1.50 per bulb (minimum $75), the Central Park Conservancy will plant her daffodils or tulips in the Park. The person you are honoring will receive a certificate indicating the number of bulbs planted and the date of the gift. For more information, you can contact Wendy Fortune at 212-310-6608 or wfortune@centralparknyc.org.

Dream Mother's Day for me is
Dream Mother's Day for me is most certainly a day at a spa, a little bit of injectable so I am no longer mistaken for kids grandmother, a foot massage and kid finally saying "mommy"!
Gorgeous!
Gorgeous!
My perfect Mother's Day is
My perfect Mother's Day is spent being a mother to my boys, but with plenty of input from their father. A short sleep-in, simple breakfast in bed, a bunch of garden flowers picked by tiny hands, a hand-drawn card and all of us together on the bed in a giant eight arm family hug.
My Mother's Day dream would
My Mother's Day dream would be for my husband to just plan the whole day... all of it - from morning to night (including kid bedtime!). ahhhh, what a dream.

Having no children of my own
Having no children of my own (yet) my dream, for my mother, is to live a long and healthy life full of the amount of love she has shown me over the years. Her support, encouragement, and devotion has made me into the woman I am today!

And I thought I invented the "mommy card"!! Ever since having had my twin girls, I have been carrying around my plain little cards with essential contact info to give to new mom friends in playgrounds, toddler classes etc. Who has paper and pencil ready when chasing after TWO toddlers?? Would love a beautiful set of cards!!

My dream mother's day is to have a nice lunch the day before. And then on Mother's Day to just catch up on my blog and photos and baby books and all the little stuff that I enjoy about the kids...but never get the time to write down.

I want a FAKE lesportsak backpack from Canal Street--@Murakami style. Specific I know. And I'll probably buy it and WRAP it for myself to help out my husband, who is well meaning and sweet but not that great with presents.
I think those business cards are hysterical and a GREAT idea. Wish I thought of it.
Actually I really wish I could have a portrait of my son from Monkey Museum . Now that's a prize I wish I could win double time over. Here's a link....http://monkeymuseum.org for the curious.

sleep, sleep, sleep! Then a
sleep, sleep, sleep! Then a leisurely breakfast prepared by someone other than myself. Lots of kisses from my boys. Later in the day yoga would be nice. And a pedicure. And a nap. And some more kisses. And a clean house. And no tantrums. And some Battlestar Galactica with my husband before bed. Ahhh...the perfect end to a perfect day.
I would love a Sunday off
I would love a Sunday off from running errands, doing laundry and entertaining the family. I would love a day for me to do whatever I want.
My dream Mother's Day would
My dream Mother's Day would be a great breakfast with my husband and boys after which I kiss all four of them as they run off to leave me alone for the day. After catching my breath I'd like to admire the gorgeous locket they have given me with all of their photos included. Then I'd just like to be thankful that we've made it through this past year and that I have my physical health back...still working on the mental part!
I would love to have a day
I would love to have a day (6 hours or so) to sit and read (magazines, books, newspapers). Sit without any interruptions. That would be awesome.

My ideal Mother's Day
My ideal Mother's Day present would be waffles in bed, a long massage and not having to go to my Mother in Laws house.
gorgeous!
gorgeous!
My dream present would be a
My dream present would be a weekly cleaning lady, a dishwasher, and yoga 4x a week, starting Sunday! But the bare minimum would be to go do yoga and take care of myself with no time constraints, and not come back to a diaper that hasn't been changed in 5 hours. LOVE the idea of not having to go to in-law's house, Rebekah, but it's not going to happen this year.
My dream is to have my
My dream is to have my husband take care of the girls and I wouldn't wake up until 10 am. But I don't know if that is possible . . .
