feel-good flowers for mom

It’s time to put some serious thought into Mother’s Day plans now that the holiday is a little over a week away. Thanks to Whole Foods and the local Habitat for Humanity Women Build program, flowers are the easy part. Go to lovewhereyoushop.net and pre-order a bunch of fresh-cut tulips or a potted pink hydrangea for $14.99 from Whole Foods between now and May 5 for pick up Friday - Sunday. $4 of the purchase price will go to Women Build, which teach women volunteers how to construct decent, affordable housing. The program also supports Habitat’s advocacy programs by collecting information on the challenges that face women worldwide, particularly property ownership.
