When you look up Mother in the dictionary, you won’t find a definition any where that does a Mother any justice.

A Mother is many things. She takes care of you and nurtures you, even when you’re being bratty. She drives you to school, to the mall, your friends houses, to all your performances and games and is your biggest fan. She’s your friend and your support – you can count on her, lean on her, cry to her and whine to her. It doesn’t matter. She’ll help you get through the tough times and chase your worries away. A Mother is there to remind you, each time you forget, how to make her killer apple pie.

She always knows what’s best (as much as you’d hate to admit it). And sometimes, she may actually be a Daddy. But no matter how old you are – whether you’re only seventeen or just past thirty – she’ll always be your Mommy. She’s amazing. She’s incredible. She’s superwoman. She’s Mom.

That’s our definition of Mother.

 

A Mother should be appreciated every day, and  we want to remind all the Moms just how special they are. This weekend, we’ve partnered with a couple of our favourite brands and local partners on a special Mother’s Day gift – just as a small way of saying thank you for everything you’ve done.
