To all you lovely Moms out there, happy almost Mother's Day. We're so excited to present our first every Mother's Day Giveaway. Because moms deserve to be appreciated, we're excited to be working with Michael's Salon and Spa, Jenna Claire Handbag Studio, and The Melting Pot for an amazing prize package for one lucky Deals For Dayton reader.

Over the next month we want to recognize Moms in the Dayton area that deserve a bit of pampering, and really isn't that all of us?! So think about that Mom that you know deserves to be appreciated and pampered this Mother's Day and be sure to nominate them for this AMAZING giveaway!
