Last year for Mother’s Day, the kids chose a card for me that had a sheet of coupons in it. They were for funny stuff, like “five animal noises” or “one joke” or “one bear hug”. I tacked the sheet to my bulletin board in my office and have never redeemed them.
Apparently, the fact that those coupons have gone unused has bothered my daughter. She gave me a homemade Mother’s Day card today complete with a sheet of coupons for one breakfast, one lunch, one drawing, one bracelet, and one necklace (she loves to help in the kitchen, draw, and make beaded jewelry).
The difference between these coupons and the ones from last year? These have expiration dates! Hmmm. Maybe she’s noticed my tendency to procrastinate and figured she’d up the ante.

Just wanted to say hi! I can’t wait to get gift coupons from Annie when she’s older. Unlike you, I use it up right away… and then ask for more.
Hope you had a good mother’s day!
