Alexei Wajchman from the Blind Willies let us know that they have a fun song that you will likely have a chance to hear this Mother’s Day

There are 2 versions. MOM SAYS NO, and MOM SAYS NO REPRISE. The songs are on their new album, Everybody’s Looking for a Meal. You can listen to the complete songs on Pandora or Lala. Additionally, you can can hear samples at cdbaby.com and itunes.

Moms love to have a gift that comes from the heart. We’ve got some great feedback on our printable vouchers, so we’ve added more “fill in the blank coupons” to give to your mother for mother’s day. Choose from our selection, and offer your mother a free breakfast, vacuuming, dishwashing, house cleaning, and a handful of other thoughtful chores. Mom will love that you volunteer to help out. Choose from our ideas, or just use our certificates, and create your own gift!

We just posted the Top 31 Moms of All Time – let us know your take, and who you think we missed!

The winners of the Tell Us Your Best Mother-Daughter Story contest, offered in conjunction with Universal Studios Home Entertainment, have been selected! It took us a bit longer to announce the top three submissions than we anticipated, because there were so many interesting and touching entries.

Congratulations to the winners, and a heart-felt thanks to all those who submitted!

Also, we’d like to express our particular thanks to Universal Studios Home Entertainment for participating in this contest and for providing the free “Because I Said So” DVD prizes – without them, this contest never would have happened.

Meanwhile, we’ll be spending a little time this weekend watching the “Because I Said So” DVD with Mom!

We’re delighted to announce, in conjunction with Universal Studios Home Entertainment, the “Tell Us Your Best Mother-Daughter Story” contest.

What daughter doesn’t have a story (or two) to tell about growing up with mom?

In celebration of Mother’s Day, we’d like to hear those stories! The three winning “mother-daughter” stories will be published on our Web site – and we’ve got a few prizes to hand out too!

The Contest

Just tell us in 500 words or less your favorite story about Mom – something special, heroic, or just plain sweet, that your mother did for you when you were growing up.

Three stories, chosen by our staff, will be published on our Web site.

Our story writers will also receive cash prizes and receive a free copy of the soon-to-be-released “Because I Said So” DVD, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

Stories will be judged on the basis of their overall appeal, uniqueness and quality of writing.

Entries must be received through our Web site by Friday, May 4, 2007.

CartoonChurch’s Dave Walker recently updated his cute cartoon for Mother’s Day.

You can find more of his cool cartoons at Cartoon Church and We Blog Cartoons.

If you wait until the last minute to prepare for Mother’s Day 2007 you could be in for a bit of stress.

We just added a Mother’s Day Checklist to help ensure Mother’s Day goes as smooth as possible this year.

If mom could use a little help planning out her day to day schedule, a momAgenda day planner could be a well received surprise. Free printable versions are also available.
