We all know that a hard-working mother loves a nice bouquet of flowers on Mother's Day, but how about finding a more thoughtful and eco friendly way of doing it? Instead of stopping by the nearest QFC, Safeway, etc. you could go to your nearest farmers market and pick up a bouquet. They're much larger, cheaper, more beautiful, and weren't shipped across the country in refrigerated trucks. You would also be supporting you local farmers. Even closer to home would be to pick flower's from you garden or if you are like me, take a stroll around your neighborhood with a pair of snippers and help your neighbors use their surplus flowers! :)
What ever you do, don't forget to thank you mom for all of the hard work she does!
