Most Mothers aren't royal, and most children don't marry a prince, but motherhood is filled with moments like the above. My own daughter was hell on wheels at home, but I could have taken her for tea with the Queen, and she would have been the perfect child. Today's links feature a little something for every type of Mom.

If your Mom has everything she could ever want, (really?) make a donation to No Kid Hungry in her name. Every $50 dollars you give can provide up to 500 meals for a child who is facing hunger. Best yet, you still have time to do this. Mom will be so proud of you.

Homemade Playdough Recipe For Mom's out of ideas on how to entertain the kids. I made it all of the time. Two thoughts I would add. 1) Don't use toxic and messy food coloring. Here's a recipe for Natural Food Coloring. 2) Add some vanilla or almond extract, to make it smell as enticing as the real thing.
