My Mother is the hardest person to shop for but not because she has everything but because she wants for nothing. She is a child of the Depression. She saves wrapping paper and only uses half of a paper towel at a time and has been known to get an apple of of the garbage to eat the rest of it because she thought the thud was too loud when it hit the bottom of the trash can. Frugal is an understatement. When my sister-in-law came up with the idea of TOMS shoes, I knew it would be the perfect Christmas gift. My mother loves nothing more than being charitable and when a pair of TOMS are purchased then a new pair is sent to those in need of shoes. She has the ugliest pair of SAS shoes that you have ever seen and even wore them to my wedding which was almost 18 years ago. I have the pictures to prove it. I never want to see them again. I now have hope.
She loves her new shoes. I told her that all the college kids wear them. She says they make her feel like a college girl again. So I posted a picture of her in college.
I have one beautiful Mom who is now a great-Grandma that I am happy to report is finally sporting some very sassy shoes.
