Mother's little helper

Now, it's not what you think. And sadly, I'm probably too late to give you this tip for the mother who has a lot of bare floors and a lot of pets (like me). What can I say? I love my iRobot Scooba. So, if it's too late for this year's Mother's day, consider it for next year. Seriously. :) Here's a video of it in action.

Isn't it cute and smart? It can sense edges and cut corners pretty closely. Just think of all the time I save. It'd be even more if I could get myself to stop watching it and do something else while it cleans for me. ;) Too bad for my mom and mother-in-law as they don't have much non-carpeted area nor pets (but good for my wallet!). Anyway, I'm sure there is some other nice thing you can find for your mother this week.

I just have to say that I'm thankful to still have my mother and mother-in-law, and also very thankful to be a mom, myself. Now what to get them ... and where to take them. I have an uncanny way of picking restaurants that have recently closed, so I'm still reservationless. Sad. I'm open to ideas. :)

And here's a shout out to my mom-to-be (and mom) friends. Enjoy your day!
