Mother's Day Central

Mother's Day may be over a month away but this year I received an early gift.

Check it out:

That's right, I have another cool button to add to my awards page. I'm on the list of the Top 100 Mom Blogs!

What's a Top 100 Mom Blog list? Good question. The people from Mother's Day Central decided to put together a list of Mom Blogs that they felt displayed excellence in areas such as originality, passion, humor, personality, and creativity. Hmm, maybe they mistook me for someone else. Shhh . . . don't tell.

When you get a chance, stop by and check out all the blogs that made their list. I'm sure you'll recognize many of them and it will also serve as a great resource tool for those looking to add to their blogrolls.

And while you're there, you should take a look around at the many things they have to offer. Talk about a wealth of knowledge. They cover areas such as:

Gift ideas
Information on flowers
Greeting card ideas
Quotations and poems
Activites to celebrate this special day
Recipe ideas
And even a checklist to make sure you don't forget a thing

So, if you're planning to honor that special woman in your life, stop by Mother's Day Central to help make it an extra special day.

This is a paid advertisement.
