2021 Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Words by: Maggie Laubscher | Music by: Abby Yemm
“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.”
Mother’s Day is coming up. It’s a joyful day for some, a sorrowful day for others, and a complicated day for many. A mother in your life can be by blood or by life experiences. It may be a bio mother or a mother figure. It may be just you. Whatever it may be, below are some gift ideas for the mothers in your lives.
