With Mother’s Day fresh on my mind, allow me to share with you some important things my mother taught me. Maybe after reading this, you’ll think of some things your mom taught you.
Don't tell us that you didn't buy anything at the arts and crafts show! How about the farmers' market? How about some food?

Certainly you drank a cup of coffee, sipped a snow cone or bought some gourmet popcorn - or just a $1 bag fo popcorn. Did you have some homemade ice cream? Did you win something from the fishing pond?
