It's almost Mothers Day and many kids are getting ready to go shopping with Dad on Saturday.

The hunt for the perfect gift for mom can be a little stressful for kids and Dad!  What is hard is that kids want to give their mother something special but they don't have their own money.  For many of us, money is very tight and finding a special gift can be expensive.

But you know what, it does not have to be.  Do you know the most common answer moms say they want for Mother's Day is often things that don't cost any money.

This Mother's Day kids can give their mom something very special that is very personalize and really says "I love you"  And that is the gift of a special act of love that  a mother will truly appreciate.
