			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First, I have to start by wishing MY mother a very happy birthday &#8211; she is 60 today!  Fortunately, our family got to celebrate with her a little bit early a couple weeks ago with my brother &#038; his family:</p>

<p>There IS a difference between a handmade lotion and the lotions you find at the store.  Number one difference is that most lotions you find at the store (even your favorite bath &#038; body store) are made with petrolatum or mineral oil.  You won&#8217;t find very many with aloe vera juice as the first ingredient.  And I would be very surprised if you found one with a natural preservative.  (I use citric acid and silver citrate.)  Get rid of the gunk, and discover the difference of a handmade natural lotion on your skin!</p>
<p>You might be like Kyle Higgins of Beacon Falls, CT who says, </p>
<blockquote><p>I love the Jojoba-Shea lotion – it is rich, creamy and smooth… I have very dry skin and this lotion brings relief!  I am also sensitive to chemicals so I appreciate the natural ingredients.</p></blockquote>

He wanted me to have something nice before all the flowers were too &#8220;picked over&#8221;.  Isn&#8217;t he sweet?  Several years ago he bought me one in blue.  I planted it on the east side of our house and it still comes back each year &#8211; and blooms!  I&#8217;ve heard that the acidity of the soil determines the color of the blooms, so I&#8217;ll be anxious to see if the new plant will stay pink once I plant it in the ground.<br />
<div id="attachment_1258" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><img src="http://www.greatcakessoapworks.com/handmade-soap-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/blue-hydrangea-150x150.jpg" alt="blue hydrangea 150x150 Thinking About Mothers Day" title="blue-hydrangea" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1258" /><p class="wp-caption-text">My old hydrangea coming up</p></div></p>
<p>So, what about you?  What would you like for Mother&#8217;s Day?  Do you need to make a <a href="http://greatcakessoapworks.com/" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fgreatcakessoapworks.com%2F','Great+Cakes+Soapworks+wish+list')">Great Cakes Soapworks wish list</a> for your hubby?  Or get something for your mom?  Consumable products are great for the mom who already has everything!  And of course, any mom would love to be pampered for Mother&#8217;s Day. </p>
