DODGEVILLE, Wis., April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to expressing love and gratitude, adult children admit to not telling their moms often enough. In fact, according to the recent #DearMom survey conducted on behalf of Lands' End, eight out of ten adult children polled feel they should tell Mom more frequently how much they care. While 16 percent of respondents admit to "rarely" telling Mom how much she's loved, 81 percent make it a priority to honor Mom each Mother's Day. Lands' End is making it even easier for children—young and old—to show Mom how much she's loved and adored through the #DearMom Mother's Day campaign. For
