James Gartner and McDonald's Help a Mom Wind Down

gartner logoThe transition from a long day at work to an evening at home is a tough one. In the hands of director James Gartner, that scenario is beautifully conveyed, as a mom returns home to kids who are boiling over with anticipation and a babysitter who’s on overtime. The spot, for McDonald’s and created via Burrel, has mom apologizing for the wait and rewarding everyone’s patience with a Happy Meal that does more than feed the troops: it sets the stage for an exhausted businessperson to be what she really wants to be - a loving and attentive mother.

Yup, couldn't agree more. And I'd like to add that you've got a great colour scheme on your site, I suffer with colour blindness and many webmasters don't give us a second thought!

The mother s day is a feast to the honor of the mother. It gives many gift ideas in the WWW but I mean flowers are the best present for her.
