Creative, funny or sentimental greeting cards messages for Mom and Grandma. 

Deciding what to write in your Mother’s Day card can seem like such a challenge. You want the words to be equally as fun or sentimental as she is, but sometimes writer's block prevents any sort of Mother’s Day card message ideas. That’s where this post comes in handy!
