The Gift Of Time - 10 Things I'd Do On Mother's Day If I Had The Time
As a mother, I feel like the most precious commodity, and therefore the most precious gift I could receive, is time. The ever elusive hourglass, and the feeling of just not enough hours in the day. Even on the days when we’re at our best and can tackle the to-do list with admirable force, we rarely are left with much time left to do what we please. Raising these kids is such a gift and a huge blessing, one I don’t take for granted.

Here are ten things I would do on Mother’s Day, if I just had a few hours to myself!
