We are declaring Mother’s Day 2012 to be National “Not-my-mama’s Mother’s Day.” Tell your partner to leave the Live, Love, Laugh plaques in the clearance bin at the discount store where they oh-so-rightfully belong. Alert the wee ones that the tongue depressor and yarn frames they made in crafts class won’t cut it this year. Tweet this out, post this link on Facebook, repin like crazy and say it loud, pretty Mama: This Sunday May 13, Mami wants a gift that doesn’t suck!
