"Kraft celebrates moms and wants to alleviate the pressures of motherhood by encouraging them to take some time away this Mother’s Day and will in return cover the cost of a babysitter." Mother's Day (which is on Sunday, so get your cards in the mail and plans booked now!) is traditionally a time for cards, flowers and meals.

"With Kraft 'Mother's Day Away' we are giving moms across the country the chance to have what they secretly really want: some time for themselves." Easy as ... well, mac 'n cheese! Kraft Still, babysitter costs can keep mom from being able to enjoy that downtime, so Kraft is offering up to $50,000 to cover expenses. (And no, that isn't just for one person, even if it does feel like baby-sitting costs are soaring.) Here's how you can get in on the deal: 1. Get a Mother's Day baby sitter. 2. Get a receipt! 3. Submit your Mother's Day bill at www.kraftmothersdayaway.com. 4. Your maximum bill is $100, and the company will continue paying out until all the funds are exhausted. 5. One request per person, and you have to be in the U.S. Be sure to check the website for all details. It might not be easy to realize that the best way you can honor your mom is to let her be somewhere else on Mother's Day. But if that's what she wants, that's what she should get!<doc-sep>
