Although my family knows that I would really love to have an iPad for Mother’s Day, I’m pretty positive that unless I win one, I won’t be getting one. I’m fine with that… winning one would be awesome, but it’s those little gifts that get me.
I’ve definitely had my share of those little gifts… the made-from-my-heart-with-love gifts that my children give me to. I’m so proud of those little gifts because they are from the heart, just to make sure mom has a special Mother’s Day to remember. 
I received one tonight.
My daughter loves Bendaroos®, those sticky sticks that bend into whatever creation has magically popped into her mind. And, this mom was the lucky recipient of a Teddy Bear made of Bendaroos® as an early Mother’s Day gift.
You must use your imagination. Can you see my Teddy Bear? It’s beautiful

So, what I would really like for Mother’s Day – more than a day alone – would be to win an iPad. Selfish, I know, but it is Mother’s Day. And wanting to win the iPad isn’t all that selfish… just borderline. I have my son (and daughter) in my thoughts, too!
For mom an iPad would be great for traveling. Less to lug when on a trip and it gives the touch that I enjoy over using a mini. Forgot the book to read? No worries… remember you downloaded it onto the iPad. Dang that pesky email that was forgotten – get to it now. And, don’t forget to check into Twitter and Facebook.
For son an iPad is a great tool for the new homeschooled student. Educational apps that can be downloaded to use as a resource or research for the first paper that needs to be written. Mom and son can also work together using the iPad on field trips to recognize birds, trees, lizards or maybe history and art.
For daughter, well honestly the love of the iPad would be just in the fun of using it, watching favorite shows on long trips, and downloading fun games. She’s nine and gets a kick out of the joy of things!
It’s simple! This mom would LOVE to win an iPad for the educational resource it could be for our family, enjoyment for long trips, and the tool it definitely would be for when I’m working.
I so want to win the iPad!!
Families will celebrate this 40th anniversary of Earth Day in a variety of ways. From learning to green their home, to teaching their family the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle), to possibly even beautifying by picking up litter from the side of a road.
However you decide to share this day with your family, please join the collective regional blogs of SV Moms Group in celebrating as well. SV Moms Group has pulled together a list of earth-friendly posts that recognize how each blogger will be celebrating Earth Day.
From the first baby-step of learning an eco-friendly lifestyle to giving up a certain product to make your air cleaner, celebrate Earth Day with your family, friends, and bloggers that care.
Enjoy a cleaner Earth!
