Mother is such a simple word, 

But to me there's meaning seldom heard .

For everything I'm today . 

My mother's love showed me the way 

( What Mother Means by Karl Fuchs)

With mothers day tomorrow  , its time to think for some

to take over all the cooking duties for a day , but they can surely 
add a zing to the celebrations with some tiny treats . These treats

 your  aprons and chef hats and get ready to gear up some

color the same). Tightly cling wrap the cookies and stick on the card
 with double sided  tape . Write some lovely words or a poem inside
 and present it to momma early morning tomorrow along with 
some flowers from your garden .
