Happy Mother's Day!
First of all – Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers of the world! And of course to the children of the world who made them mothers (hey, that means all of us)!
As you probably already know by now, if you leave a comment here today, you will be raising money for FINCA International, an organization that provides loans to low-income micro entrepreneurs, focusing especially on women.

Happy Mother's Day!
Funnily enough, my mother wore so many fragrances, I can't think of one which defines her -- although, when I smell one of them, I instantly think of my mother.
Now my grandmother? Chanel No. 5. Without a doubt.
I'm a friend of Katie's. Happy Mother's Day! Good luck, and thanks for doing this, it's really great!
Yep, came here via Kyahgirl and have to say that I just love this idea and am glad that my little comment can do something good! Happy mother´s Day to all the mothers out there!
