Mother's Day

10 Quotable Quotes To Say How Special Mothers Are on Mother’s Day

Leave a Comment

Happy Mother's Day for you, mom.

10 Famous Quotes About Our Mothers

I was so blessed to have a mother who was fun to be with. She was a great listener and totally interested in us,  her family. We did not have to fight for her attention – it was just there! As we’d run into the house with excitement, she would stop what she was doing, look us in the eye, listen to what we were sharing and showed true enjoyment as we blurted out whatever the silly current event was. “I found a caterpillar!”  “I did a wheelie on my bike, Mom. Wanna see?”
.
It became my desire that my children would feel just as loved as I did throughout my childhood.
.
Thinking back to when I was a young mom,  my little boy Joshua, then just 4 years old,  made the sweetest request. It was bedtime and I had already tucked him in for the night. He called me back into his room and asked for another kiss, saying “Mommy, your kisses give me energy.” Talk about melting a mother’s heart. He sure got a whole bunch of extra kisses that night!
.

Happy Mother’s Day

For all the moms, grandmas and “like-a-moms” out there “Happy Mother’s Day.” Enjoy these quotable sentiments from the famous.  [To me, though,  my little Josh’s will always be the best!]
A lovely rose for mom on Mother's Day
  • “God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.” Rudyard Kipling
  • “If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” Milton Berle
  • “I’m amazed when I see mothers wearing high heels. If your kids run off you can’t run after them.” Claudia Schiffer
  • “When my mother had to get dinner for 8 she’d just make enough for 16 and only serve half.” Gracie Allen
  • “The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” Theodore Hesburgh
  • “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” Abraham Lincoln
  • “My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.” Michael Jordan

  • “My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.”
    Mark Twain
  • “When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.”Sophia Loren
  • “Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her ‘Many women do notable things, but you surpass them all.’ Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.” Proverbs 31: 28-30

Happy Mother’s Day and Welcome To Our Link Party!

4 Comments

Happy Mother’s day weekend everyone and welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party! I hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend at home. Haha! We’ve all been having so many weekends at home that it sounds so nice to dream about going somewhere besides home!

I hope this week’s posts will give you some inspiration for how to treat yourself in many ways.

The first feature is from my own blog, Ducks ‘n a Row. It’s a great coffee gift basket. It might be too late to ask for this for Mother’s Day, but you could get it for yourself. 

I was so blessed to see that this month’s host, Andrea, selected my post as a feature! Thanks♥

Coffee gift basket for moms #giftideas

I do love coffee and I’m so grateful during this time for a great coffee maker. Wish I had this gift box to go with it.

The next feature is a beautiful vintage Magnolia printable from Picture Box blue. She has so many great printables on her site that I couldn’t stop at just the Magnolias.

Magnolia print from Picture Box Blue

She has some really amazing maps and all kinds of botanical images. I can’t wait to try printing one.

Next up, is a fashion related feature. No one would look at my wardrobe and say that I have any particular style. Honestly I didn’t think this post was for me until I clicked through and started to see all the advice.

When this quarantine is over I want to have a style. I think Iris has some posts that could really help me. Starting with how to find my style personality. Lazy is my current style personality, unfortunately.

style personality from lamoumous

She has so many tips for styling even basic wardrobe pieces. You won’t believe what she can do with a white blouse. And she is a total knockout.

Do you love a good mason jar craft? How about mason jar gift tags. These are just so cute and there’s still time to use them on a Mother’s Day gift. This blog is full of amazing ideas for what you can do with a mason jar.

The last feature is a super creative idea that you can probably do without even going to the store. This wreath has flowers made from coffee filters. It comes to us from Organized Island. The flowers just look so fluffy it’s hard to believe they are paper.

Now it’s time to get some new ideas for this week.

Cute and Easy Mother’s Day Card Your Kids Can Make Themselves

Leave a Comment

This homemade Mother’s Day card is so simple to do. Your kids will love making it! 

 

Mother's Day; DIY greeting cards; preschool crafts

 

As our preschool school year drew to a close, lessons for the letters Y and Z were left to complete. Z is for Zoo was the theme of choice for the last day of school but I was still struggling with what to do for Y… then I came up with a plan!
.

..
Mother’s Day was right around the corner. Y week? Z week? I chose to combine Mother’s Day and Y  and do the Letter Y is for Yellow.  We studied the primary colors and learned what secondary colors were formed when we combined them. There was time in the lesson to fit in a nice craft  so we also made this adorable cupcake liner card for the moms.

 

Mother's Day; preschool craft; cupcake liner craft
The card is printed on colored card stock. For my sample copy, I used yellow-green and green crayon to fill in the foliage. The flower is a bright colored cupcake liner, turned inside out so that the colorful part shows. The sides of the liners are clipped so the flower will spread out better.
In the center I glued a yellow circle and with some dried black beans inside for seeds.
Inside the card is another liner with the child’s photo in the center. (The SAMPLE I made for my students to see has a picture of me but our moms got to have their precious little child’s picture inside of theirs.)

I love how the paper cupcake liner stands out a little bit for a 3-D effect.
