Mother's day 2011

I can’t believe Mother’s day weekend is here already. It doesn’t seem like we should be 5 months into the year already. We have plans tomorrow and Sunday both. Tomorrow Ryan is helping his mom with a yard project. Sunday we’ll be spending time with both of our moms at different times. I picked out a personalized necklace for my mom that I think she will love because she really likes customized gifts. For Ryan’s mom we plan to buy her flowers to fill in her flower beds. It should be a nice weekend. I hope they will both feel special on their day, because in my view mother’s day is really about making moms feel special. Mother’s do SO much, they deserve to feel special and appreciated. Even though I’ve been on my own for several years, I get help from my mom and my mother in law at times and I’m so thankful for that. A few months ago my mom knew we were looking for a cheap dryer, and claimed one she saw at a thrift store so that we could pick it up before it was purchased by someone else. We are a one-vehicle household, and a few weeks ago our truck broke down before a vet appointment. It was for something important, so we didn’t want to delay it by rescheduling. Ryan’s mom dropped her plans for the day so we could borrow her car to get him to the vet. I’m so blessed to have a great mom and a great mother in law.

Mother’s day 2015

I’m so lucky that my mom and my mother in law are both nearby, so we can spend time with both of them for Mother’s day. I know many people have quite a distance between themselves and their moms, so gifts can’t be delivered in person. When gifts have to be delivered electronically, security is an important factor. Comfort and security are an important part of feeling relaxed and open to others around us. It’s hard to open yourself up emotionally if you aren’t feeling safe and secure. Paypal and Xoom are great tools for delivering or transferring money  whether it’s across a state or across the world in a super secure way, so you don’t have to worry about your financial security and you can enjoy your holiday. Sending a gift shouldn’t have to involve financial risk or insecurity.

As the name implies, Xoom is a really quick service. If you want to transfer money to your mother and then get back to the family who is by your side, Xoom makes the process very fast so you won’t miss out on family time. Plus, Xoom offers several options for how to receive money including bank transfers, cash pick-up or delivery, bill pay and mobile reload. You can track your payment via SMS alerts and sign up to receive a text message when the money is received.
