It’s Mother’s Day. The marvelously magical, maternal-centric holiday that brings to mind brunch and mimosas, hugs and happiness. Because I am unable to be with my beautiful mother today, this post is dedicated to her.  

Moving Mother’s Day Ads

The media do a great job with “mothers” this time of year, presenting them as the all-supportive and loving bestie or an inspiration to future breeders. Here’s a look at seven different television commercials by various brands that are such moving Mother’s Day ads (make sure to have tissues nearby), they make us all want our Mommies.

Now if you’re with Mom, kiss her. If you’re not, call her. If she’s no longer with us, she knows you miss her. Trust me.

Happy Mother’s Day

And a special shout out to my own beautiful mother and my two sisters who are terrific moms – none of whom I am with today, but all of whom I love and miss.
