What I want for Mother's Day

As soon as it gets close to Mother's Day, I start seeing all these posts and commercials about what to get Mom. Most of them end up being spa days and things of the like. I've found that that kind of gift isn't really what I want.
What I really want is quite simple. Give me a meal or two out, a card, and maybe a small gift. This year I wanted stackable mom's rings with my girls name on it..one for each with an option to add another one when we go for a 3rd baby. I don't need or want a full day away from my family either. First few hours are cool, but I'd start missing them and want to get back home to them. I love spending time with my girls, why would I want to leave? 
I also don't need a huge gift either. To me, spending a ton of money to show me you appreciate me is wasteful. We can use that money to save for a house or pay down a credit card. Not quite as glamorous, but much better for our future.
Words and actions speak so much louder than things.  If you want me to know you love and appreciate me, tell me with a mushy cards with your own words in it. I'll cherish that forever!
