Wow, this mom must have tons of time on her hands. I did a note for my son's first day of school, but it was just a note on a heart shaped paper.

my initial reaction was the same - who has time for this? I think the important thing is just taking any amount of time to do this - your child will love anything - from something like this to a little heart drawn on a post-it note!

I think if you do this everyday it will become ordinary, and then what will you do for them, or what if you shop!!!!!!

I'd be willing to bet (HUNDREDS of dollars, at that) that this woman on the quest for "mommy sainthood" doesn't hold down a full-time job. Just sayin'.

Wow.i agree with you people.Waaaay to much time.I think the regular not saying I love you is ok.Its about what it says,not what it looks like.'Mommy Sainthood' is not actual.Time for moms to get back into reality you know?

this mom really loves her little girl. I wish I had time to do things like that for my kids.

Seems like everyone is judging the Mother rather than the crafts.....

I think all moms love their kids...some of them just think of more fun things for their lunchbox...even the moms that don't do this love their kids just as much...
