I have no ecard for Mother’s Day. I don’t believe on Mother’s Day and the only reason why I celebrate that is to make my mom happy. And now that I have known a lot of moms more than I ever did in my life, I guess a little post about Mother’s Day won’t hurt.

First of all, let me greet all the mothers on the blogniverse specially those who have touched my blog life in one or another. You just added enough spice to my life to keep me grounded. I can compare you to vitamins, something that makes the body healthy, and you guys are people that makes my blogging life healthy.

To the MARCE CLUB (you know who you are) , thanks for opening your heart to Sati and I know amidst our geographical differences, you are a mom to her.

Actually I am not supposed to make this post but then I was entertained by some hullabaloo on the blogniverse (read: angry blog posts, cat fight.. meow!) and then I thought of me, why is it that however pissed I am to a person, I never had the courage to post bad and mad post about them?

No, it’s not courage that I lack but I lack solitude. You see, whenever I am mad or pissed off, I have my Marces to ask for advice or to vent on or to be my shock absorber.. and always, an angry post no longer deserves a space in my blog.

For that, I am thankful for them and I highly salute them, not only that they are great Moms, but also a great friend.

As a mother, one of my concern is the health of my kids and my husband. We are really lucky that the company he is working provide medical benefits. I heard some news about medical ID theft and though I did not understood it fully, Affinion was able to explain it to me.

The following is a part of press release, “Affinion Security Center Launches Medical Identity Theft Benefits and Other Enhancements to Industry-Leading BreachShield Product”, about medicla id theft. If you want to read more about it, kindly check it out here.
