Mom. She lost her figure to bring you into this world. She kissed your boo-boos. She did your homework. She deserves more than a card to celebrate her day. She really deserves a medal -- and your undying love.
Mother's Day is Sunday, May 12, 2013. It's always the second Sunday in May. Make plans now to treat Mom right. Don't forget!

Here are some DFW florists who deliver some of the freshest and most gorgeous floral arrangements in the Metroplex.
