This Is What You Want For Mother's Day
In 1914 the United States Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day, and required that the President proclaim the holiday every year shortly before its arrival. While a Presidential Proclamation is nice, we know what moms REALLY want for Mother's Day this year. How do we know? Simple ... we asked! More than 50 moms responded to our question and the answers were sweet, funny, and surprisingly similar. Seriously, you would be stunned if you knew exactly how many moms requested one night in a hotel ...
Why Did God Make Mothers?
Answers from 2nd grade school children
Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Hand Print Collage
I LOVE handprints… maybe that is why I have so many on my walls that haven’t been washed off yet!! LOL! There is nothing like holding those sweet little hands in mine. This Family Hand Print is the perfect Mother’s Day project because it shows the entire family layered in construction paper hands… what could be better? I’ll tell ya… you probably have all of the supplies in your house already so if you’re a last minute gift giver, this is for you!

Keys To Happiness-Last Minute Mother's Day Gift
Everyone knows that the KEY to Mom's heart this mother's day is ORGANIZATION! We modified this idea we found on familyfun.go.com and tried it ourselves for you! It turned out to be totally gift worthy and certainly something the entire family can participate in. After all, isn't that truly what mother's day is about. Showering mom with tacky-licious gifts that little fingers toiled over?
We KNOW mom will appreciate this Keys To Happiness key rack because she won't have to search endlessly for ...
Kiss My Acronym- Boycotting Labels
I get the nervous tummy anytime someone even begins the topic because it is then that I need to instantaneously decide if my soap box will put a damper on the evening. Sometimes the soap box is cumbersome. Big and bulky and certainly not worthy of a situation. Other times it fits well.
The truth is that no matter how I answered that question there was someone there waiting to put me into a category. I'm a Mom.
I birthed children so it is a given that I am ...
