I surprised my mom with flowers, because well, she deserves it. We hope all the moms out there have a great Mother's Day this weekend!

We have been having some fun around the office with Mother's Day right around the corner.

Getting into the shenanigans myself, for the Scoop with Coop this week I gave myself the task of putting together a special Mother's Day surprise for my mom Carla.

The first step of my plan came back before Christmas when I was given a tip on a $200 bird feeder, complete with a webcam and bird recognition software. My mom loves her backyard, and the bird camera was an instant purchase to feed her outside addiction.

Next in the plan, we fast forward to last week, and my news interview for the latest "Purple Pansies for Pancreatic Cancer" fundraiser.

What fits perfectly in a backyard? Flowers.

Specifically, $72 worth of neon pansies from Oyen Greenhouses.

Last year I got mom one flower, and promptly placed it on the door handle of her truck for an after-work surprise

As you can see in the cover photo, Carla got a lot more than one purple pansy this year. 

Moms are the best. Listen below as I brought mine in studio for a special Mother's Day chat and surprised her with the flat of flowers you see below!
