Happy Mother's Day Eseta!

First I want to wish all the Moms that I know a very happy fun-filled Mother's Day!

We've started a new tradition this year at our house since I discovered Kiva and today is part of this new tradition.

Instead of my husband buying me a bunch of flowers that will fade away within a week, and with my many food allergies, I stay away from restaurants as much as possible now, we donate $25 to help someone on Kiva.

Flowers (& restaurant dinners) are great, don't get me wrong - but I prefer perennials that I can plant outside in my garden and enjoy all summer long, year after year - and so I get a nice plant (much cheaper than a bouquet of cut flowers)... and we invest the rest of the money to help someone else instead.

So, today, I would like to wish Eseta in the South Pacific a very happy Mother's day... with love, from our family to hers, with the help of a $25 donation towards her agriculture business fund.

Eseta is 28, married and a mother of 2 children. At this point, she still needs some money to fully fund her loan - She grows produce that she sells a few days a week to locals and visitors, so feel free to pitch in too if you can!

You can also purchase Kiva Gift Certificates so that the person you give the certificates to can choose which person they want to help. It's a wonderful gift idea!

Happy Mother's Day everybody!
