What Moms Really Want for Mother’s Day
Motherhood, Ive found, is filled with unexpected ecstasy – and dark secrets. The kind you only reveal to your most cherished friends, people who are also mothers, preferably ones who have known you since you were also a kid. Sometimes, its hard to confess some of motherhoods realities to anyone. Even yourself.
A Mother’s Day Wish
I arrived home one early December evening in 2009 with a Christmas tree, hoping my 19 year old son Bryson wanted to help me decorate it. He had not been not feeling well for a long time, several months or so. I had taken him to many doctors over the past 6 months, he had lost 50 lbs and couldn’t eat for quite a while. In my “mothers gut” I knew something was wrong and had been for a long time.
Dealing with Mother’s Day as a Stepmother
Besides all of the happiness that Mothers Day brings to many, it also contains a sadness factor for stepmothers. Mothers Day is the one day of the year thats specifically devoted to showing love to your mom, so it can get a bit tricky for those who may feel a sense of loyalty to their mom or have spent the majority of their lives referring to their stepmother by her first name rather than calling her mom.
Arts & Crafts for Kids for Mother’s Day
Since 1914, Americans have been celebrating Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May. On this day, individuals across the country take time to honor their mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and other women who have played a motherly role in their lives. One way children can honor the mother figures in their lives is to present them with a special Mother’s Day gift. While a variety of gifts can be purchased, handmade gifts tend to be the most treasured.
Mothers Day Craft Projects for Kids
Many children enjoy making special craft for their moms on Mother’s Day. Making crafts allows them to put thought and love into a project. They are then rewarded when they present the craft to their mothers, who usually love it. Mother’s Day crafts can range from the simple, so that even very young children can make them, to more complex projects for older children.
