Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. Whether you are the mother of human children or fuzzy ones, mothers are mothers. We love our children with every fiber of our being. We get frustrated and angry, but we are proud of them and would do anything we could to keep them safe and happy. We laugh, cry, rejoice and yell, but love still weighs out at the end of the day. But…as much as we love our children, we need to escape…sometimes physically, other times mentally. Usually our escape occurs between the covers of a book. So, today we celebrate Moms! We are going to give away three (yes, 3) boxes of books. Throughout the day, you can comment on the different posts that will be here. We will choose the winners from the posted comments.
Our staffers are sharing their favorite mom memories and now it is YOUR turn. So post a comment to this blog post with share their your mom memory and then put them all in a hate and choose the winners.
Good luck and make sure you tell your friends to come and play with us!
Mother’s Day blessings to all the wonderful women out there who are mothers and mothers to be. My mom is no longer with us and I miss her so much, her birthday would have been May 2nd, so this is quite an emotional month for me. My mom always made a big deal out of birhdays and I’m so glad she did because it is something I brought to my husbands family and have passed on to my children (all grown now). She would bake our birthday cakes for us. What ever kind we wanted and she took cake decorating classes so she learned to make them extra special. Now I am the one who makes the cakes (except my own of course). I am so grateful my mom taught me to bake and that she took the time to teach us how important birthdays are. Not so much about getting older, just getting together with loved ones and celebrating life and each other. That is the greatest gift my mother gave to me. Although she is not here physically, I carry her in my heart and she visits me in my dreams. Thank you for letting me share and a very Happy Mother’s Day to all.
Like Joni, my Mom is no longer with us except in our thoughts. Just writing this makes me tear up. Mom was so incredibly loving to all of her family, but I believe she had a particularly strong effect on her grandchildren. Some of my stongest memories of Mom revolve around family dinners, I don’t know if I’ll ever have as good a Beef Pot Roast & Gravy as she could make. To all who read this who still have their mothers, I would suggest several things: ask them all about their lives & record it before it’s too late, have them teach you their best recipes, take the time to vacation together & do fun things. Hope all have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
My mom is a wonderful cook, so me and my siblings always call to ask her what she’s cooking today. So whenever one of us calls and were sick she makes a special soup that always makes our noses run. She did that for us when we were little and she still does it now. I always grew up thinking if your sick you get the special soup. Happy Mothers day.
My mum is a great person and patient as well. When I was younger I had a lot of problems at school, especially when I lost my best friend in a car accident and we moved countries. My relationship with the other students were problematic, and my mum was always there for me, even when I was expelled from school for a fight.
So thank you mum and Happy Mothers day to all the mothers out there!!
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
My fav mom memory was just a couple of years ago around Mother’s Day. My siblings (there are 7 of them) and I went around town and gathered some gifts, flowers, my mom’s favorite food, balloons, and a ginormous Mother’s Day card (that we found @ a 7 Eleven of all places) to surprise my mom a day early. She was so shocked at the surprise of it all that she immediately started crying and what made it worse was when my brother read the card to her. The card itself fit her so well and there was a giant rose on the front (and she LOVES roses). That card was the 1 thing that she treasures the most and she actually mounted on the wall in her bedroom. I will never forget that day because it was a beautiful day and all of my family was there and had a wonderful time. The day to day pressures of life were for once gone and we got together to celebrate my mom and all of the wonderful things she’s done for us and continues to do.

I am the mom to three wonderful 4 legged children (feline) Tigger (f) who just turned 14, Calie (f) who is 13 and my baby boy Riley who will 10 in June. Aside from my husband of 16 years May 20 th I’ve never really been considered a “MOM” in our families. I lost my Mom on 1/6/11 so this is a very hard Mother’s Day 4 me. I’m trying now to concentrate on my kids today wearing my cat mom t-shirt with their names on it. But I have to admit Mothher’s Day will never be the same again. 🙁
