jewelry for Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is looming on the horizon, and now is the perfect time to think about getting a gift for mom.  For many of us, this is a holiday that honors mothers everywhere, and celebrates the bond between mother and child, and the patience and perseverance required to be a mom.

We often underestimate, or at the very least undervalue, the work that most mothers really do.  In fact, did you know that salary.com’s estimation for what mothers would earn if they were getting paid came to just under 114 thousand dollars in 2013?  That’s right.  According to some pretty massive surveys, the median number of hours mothers spent on family care and child-rearing was about 94 per week, and some of their jobs included computer operation, cooking, teaching, and janitorial services.  Managing a family may not seem like it’s worth six figures, but when you think about what parents will spend over their children’s childhood, it definitely starts to look like a true-to-life figure.
