Why? Because I said so.
I'm counting to ten.
If everyone jumped off of a cliff would you do it too?
You weren't born in a barn? Shut the door!
Do any of these phrases sound familiar? Do you find yourself saying them? If so, it happened. You became your mother!
Scary thought, made even scarier, if like me, you don't have any children and you find your self saying them to the dog!
I have a great mom. She is actually at the top of the list of people I admire. She 's not famous. She didn't invent anything or break any records. She simply raised three daughters and she did it very well. To me, that is a huge accomplishment.
Mother's Day has been celebrated in various ways since Greek and Roman times. In the U.S., Mother's Day became a National holiday in 1914 due o the efforts of many women, including Julie Ward Howe, pacifist, suffragist, and author to the lyrics to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic and Anna Jarvis.
Anna was inspired by her own mother, an Appalachian homemaker who organized "Mother's Work Day" to raise the awareness of poor health conditions in her community.
So to woman like Julie Ward Howe, Anna Jarvis and my own mom. Happy Mother's Day! And Thanks.
Featured gift basket, A Moment In Time, a perfect gift for Mother's Day or any day.
Love
Marie
