They range from sponsored shopping guides to little known local indie picks to home crafted goodies. Pinterest is overflowing with ideas and every brick and mortar store is shouting out deals and specials from their signs and ads. I decided to throw my two cents in to this slightly overwhelming mix of gift ideas and tell you what I think all moms of school-aged children want this special Sunday:</p>
<p>1. To not fuck their children up.</p>
<p>2. To be left the hell alone for a few hours.</p>
<p>These are the gifts that will keep on giving. Am I right?</p>
