Mothers are Precious - Mothers Day Cards

Do you remember who taught you your first alphabet? Your first ABC? If you remember its either your Mother or your teacher( for most of us). They are the ones who teach us our first letters, teach us to read and write and impart the education in us that make us what we are. I cannot imagine how it must feel not to be able to read and write. There are many human beings on earth who are without education, who do not know how education can enlighten a soul, or how education can bring out the diamond from the raw coal, I mean the best out of the unpolished human mind. For me and for most of us, the credit of bringing the best out of us through education goes to our mothers and our teachers. With Mothers Day(May 11) coming close, thank mothers and teachers(who are also like mothers) with these beautiful Mothers Day cards.

Mothers day 2008 is just four days away(May 11). I thought among other gifts, I need to bake a good cake. Mom would be very happy to see me baking right, as I am not as good with baking as cooking. I found this easy and simple Creamy Chocolate cup recipe. My mom loves anything to do with chocolate. Which woman doesn't like chocolate?

The Creamy Chocolate Cup recipe is as follows:

Ingredients

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2/3 cup whole milk
1 egg
1 cup whipping cream
4 tablespoon sugar,
Pinch salt
1-2 Tbsp. hazelnut liqueur

Recipe

Bring milk to boil over medium heat, in a small saucepan.
Combine egg, 2 tablespoon sugar, salt, chocolate chips and liquer in blender on low, while milk heats.
Pour boiling milk into blender while it is turning, in slow steady stream. Egg will be cooked and chocolate will melt by the hot milk. Blend for 1 minute, or until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture into demitasse cups and chill.
After dinner, place cream mixture in in medium bowl and use electric mixer to beat until soft peaks are formed.
Add the remaining sugar and beat to combine. Now, top the chocolate cups with dollop of cream.
Place cups on saucers to serve. Don't forget to serve with demitasse spoons.

Try it out. It's really simple to make and great to eat. Have a yummy Mothers Day. Here are some Mothers Day cards that you can serve on Mothers Day to your Mom.

Special Moms- Mothers Day Cards

2008-05-05T22:50:00.000-07:00

I was wondering about Mothers, as Mothers Day 2008 is approaching. Realized that to be a Mother, one does not need to actually give birth. They can be called Special Moms. Many a times when I am with my sister, Tracy's kids, I feel the mother in me wide awake. I am quite casual otherwise. But when my sister's kids are with me, I cannot help but be cautious and careful about them. Thats quite a different feeling.
Even one's dad can be a Mom. I had a friend in school who was raised by his Dad alone as her parents were separated. She proudly proclaimed in school that her dad was both her mom and her Dad.
Sometimes, kids brought up by foster moms or governesses also consider them to be their Mother more than their Biological Mother. Even teachers can have a special place as Mom in someone's heart.
As Mothers Day 2008 approaches, lets not forget these special moms who have a special role in a child's life. Send this Mothers Day Card (special hug cards0 to your Mom, dad who are as special as Moms, and special moms and wish them a very Happy Mothers Day.

Mothers Day Greetings for Special Mothers

2008-05-02T23:14:00.000-07:00

A woman doesn't have to be a biological mother to actually have motherly feelings. I am getting reminded of the movie “Stepmom”(Starring Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon). In the movie, Julia Roberts plays stepmom to Susan Sarandon's kids. Both the mothers clash repeatedly. While the new age mom, Julia Roberts is more relaxed with the kids, the older one(Sarandon) is quite strict in her disciplining the kids. Sarnadon is diagnosed with malignant cancer, and gradually both bond with each other one fine day. While Julia Roberts compliments her maternal instincts, Sarandon compliments her hipness which helps her to connect better with the kids. I remember the movie's tagline being ”Be there for the joy. Be there for the tears. Be there for each other”. The movie would compel anyone to give a thought to motherhood and different approaches to motherhood. It depicts how two mothers of the same kids(one biological and the other a stepmom) graduate from rivalry to unity. Together they could provide the best care to their kids.

Heres wishing all mothers(be it stepmoms, biological moms, surrogate or any other special moms) a Very Happy Mothers Day with these Mothers Day Cards. Send this Mothers Day Greeting Cards to your mother or the mothers you admire.

This Mothers Day 2008, I wont be able to visit my parents. So I have to send all my gifts from here. Among all other mothers day gift ideas, I know I will be sending cards, for sure. And that made me wonder what to write on the cards. That would add some personal touch - it can be a mothers day poem or mothers day quote. While researching on mothers day quotes, these are the lovely mother's day quotes that I found. They are mostly famous people's admiration for their own mother,

"I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life."~ Abraham Lincoln
"The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom."~ Henry Ward Beeche
"Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws."~ Barbara Kingsolver
"The mother, more than any other, affects the moral and spiritual part of the children's character. She is their constant companion and teacher in formative years. The child is ever imitating and assimilating the mother's nature. It is only in after life that men gaze backward and behold how a mother's hand and heart of love molded their young lives and shaped their destiny."~ E.W. Caswell
"There never was a woman like her. She was gentle as a dove and brave as a lioness... The memory of my mother and her teachings were, after all, the only capital I had to start life with, and on that capital I have made my way."~ Andrew Jackson
"It seems to me that my mother was the most splendid woman I ever knew... I have met a lot of people knocking around the world since, but I have never met a more thoroughly refined woman than my mother. If I have amounted to anything, it will be due to her."~ Charles Chaplin
"In all my efforts to learn to read, my mother shared fully my ambition and sympathized with me and aided me in every way she could. If I have done anything in life worth attention, I feel sure that I inherited the disposition from my mother."~ Booker T. Washington
"I cannot tell you how much I owe to the solemn word of my good mother."~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
"My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her."~ George Washington

Tulips For Mothers Day - Mothers Day Presents Ideas

2008-04-22T05:28:00.000-07:00

Mothers are very similar to Gardeners. The gardeners toil to plant the seed, nurture the plan and ultimately be happy when flowers bloom. And then give the flower off to the world. The flower later is sold to lovers or women or decorated in homes. Similarly, mothers toil hard to not only give birth to a child but also nurture the child for years and then be content to see the child blooming into a full grown and independent adult. But at the end the child often goes off to be independent or with the love of her or his life. With Mothers day fast approaching, I suggest lets make it an effort to make mothers feel special, make them feel that their hard earned child, though independent enough now, is still her own.

So, I guess keeping this in mind, the best Mothers Day presents ideas for Mothers Day 2008 would be Flowers -- tulips for mothers day. It can be flowers of your mother's choice like orchids, begonia, petunia, and so many more. I personally think tulip is the best among the mothers day flowers. Tulips for mothers day can really be one of the most awe-inspiring Mothers Day presents ideas, as it hold the true spirit love for mothers.

Here are some lovely Flower Mothers Day Cards to send your Mother and brighten up her mood. Happy Mothers Day to all Moms.

Happy Mothers Day- Mothers Day Gifts and cards

2008-04-15T02:29:00.000-07:00

As Mother's Day comes close on May 11, I took some moment out of my work, and spend some time on thinking about the great moms I know or I ever have met. The first one who came to my mind was not my mother, but my sister, Tracy. She is my older sister and my only sibling. She is eight years elder to me. I often refer to her , to other people, as my second mom. She started taking care of me , since the day I can remember. Even she considers me her first kid. Today, she is a mother of my sweet nephew, Ryan. I admire her as a great mom, for she is one of those moms, who would say"I am not hungry", if there is not much food left at home. I want to wish her a Great Mother's Day, this year. Here's a lovely mothers day card for you Tracy, if you are reading this.
All you guys who wanna wish your sisters a Happy Mother's Day, send this mothers day cards to your sisters and make her feel special.

tribute to single moms – free mothers day cards

2008-04-07T03:18:00.000-07:00

Whether by chance, or by choice, every women who leads the life of a single mother , single handedly is a living miracle. For women who become a single mother by choice are not only brave, but I would choose to call them fighters. I can imagine the different aspects of life they have to take care of, all alone. She not only has to be a mother, but also be a father, also a financial provider for the family, and at the end of the day, she has no life of her own, but she fights for her kid's life. Single mothers who are single moms not by choice, but by destiny are also one of those who deserve ample respect. An easy option for them would be to go for abortion, but without paying much attention to society they go ahead a give birth to a life and call that life, her own. Isn't it wonderful? A mother's love is simply splendid and unconditional. It expects nothing in return, like any other love.
Here are some awesome single mother cards that you can send to all the brave single mothers you know. With Mothers day, coming close, wish them Happy Mother's Day. Stay tuned for some mother quotes. Your comments are welcomed.

Mother's Day Greetings - Mother's Day Celebrations

2008-03-27T01:03:00.000-07:00

Hi friends! We’ve again come to that part of the year when we zoom in on a day to show respect to the person we owe our existence. To cut the long story short, its time to wish Mother’s Day. Being a woman, I understand the craving of a woman to be a mother. A woman dons many hats – daughter, sister, wife or friend. But the role that makes her feel complete is that of a mother.

Mother’s Day is a celebration of motherhood. Though Anna Marie Jarvis, the woman who first dedicated this day to her mother, was against the day in the later part of her life due to rampant commercialization of the day, Mother’s Day has stood the test of time. Mother’s Day 2007 had been a big event in my life. I saw my mom’s face lit up with divine radiance when I presented her with a bunch of flowers and a small gift-wrapped box. Surely, the day and the moment stand out.

Wish your mom Happy Mother’s Day by choosing from a wide assortment of free Mother’s Day cards and Mother’s Day greeting cards. Make her feel special by embedding a lovely message with your Mother’s day cards. You can never repay the love and affection she has showered on you but you can make her smile by saying a small ‘thank you’. Go ahead and indulge her with gifts as part of your Mother's Day Celebrations . You owe her everything..

2007-05-05T01:30:00.000-07:00

Mother—the closest word to our heart and soul—evokes a string of thoughts and images in our minds. And it’s when these are put down into words by poets, writers, philosophers and many other important people that time has produced, they become worth reckoning. On this warm occasion of Mother’s Day, here’s some of the most popular Mother’s day quotes and poems of time for you to check out:

"All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother."—a very famous line by Abraham Lincoln and one wonderfully powerful quote which bears the true essence of motherhood. Yes, it’s true that whatever we are or expect to be in the days to come, is because of that one being, the one love in all our lives—Mother. She has often been adjudged the guardian angel sent from above, the one who’s given the task to handle it all alone…because "God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers." (A Jewish proverb)

Lincoln even said that— "I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life." A mother’s prayers, indeed, lives in our hearts forever !

As a matter of fact, "The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom.", said Henry Ward Beecher. A mother is the first teacher in the child’s life, with whom the child takes his/ her first step towards ‘growing up’ in the real sense of the term.

The Flower Expert recommends the following popular Mothers Day Flower Bouquets for gifting online. Try out these irresistibly beautiful Mothers Day Flower Bouquets in various colors to convey your special feelings!!

Jarvis is again the first person to consider flowers on Mother's Day for gifting mothers. She sent 500 white carnations to the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, in Grafton, West Virginia with the hope of distributing the mothers. Then onwards, the tradition of sending flowers on Mother's Day, took root.
Fragrant and beautiful, Carnation flowers have become symbolic of mother's love and also Mother's Day.

The most common flowers for sending mother on the Mothers Day are carnations, especially white carnations. A bouquet of mature blooming roses also serve the great cause of thanking the mother for all her love and care. Flower arrangements made of spring flowers like tulips, scented narcissi and daffodils are also the favorites for sending on Mother's Day.

If you are at a distance from your mother, you can send Mother's Day flowers online. Still, it is appropriate to choose flowers from the online florists based on the meaning of the flowers being gifted and the personal likes and dislikes of our mother in terms of color and fragrance of flowers.

Care for Mother's Day Flowers

The following tips help the mothers who receive flowers from their children on Mother's Day to keep the flowers fresh for longer time-
1. Water is the most vital aspect of flower care. Try to keep the flowers in water to keep them fresh.
2. Keep the flowers cool. Warm temperatures shorten the life of the blooms.
3. When the flowers start to wilt, remove the stem from the arrangement and re-cut the stem. Next, submerge the entire flower in warm water.
4. Potted plants are also a popular gift. Like arrangements, keep them in a cool location and avoid heat drafts or dry air for longer color.

Spanish Mother's day cards

2007-05-04T02:09:00.000-07:00

As the number of Hispanic mothers in the United States continues to grow, so does the desire to celebrate and recognize these women for all they do.

Mother's Day is the third-largest card-sending holiday in the United States but ranks as the number one card-sending season for Hispanics, even higher than Christmas and Valentine’s Day.

Arlette Torres, editorial director for Sinceramente Hallmark who was born in Mexico, explains the importance of mothers to Hispanic consumers.

"Mothers are beloved, deeply respected, revered figures in the Hispanic community,” she says. “Her children view her as the source of goodness and love, affection, warmth and forgiveness. She is the idealized female figure, unequaled by other women.”

According to the most recent U.S. Census, the size of the Hispanic population is estimated at 41.3 million, making up 14 percent of the U.S. total. The Hispanic segment is growing three times faster than the general population of the U.S. and accounts for almost one half of the U.S. population growth. One in seven people in the U.S. is Hispanic.

To meet the needs of people who want to recognize this growing number of Hispanic moms, Sinceramente Hallmark offers 300 Mother’s Day cards. Many of the captions and formats are unique. Several designs feature the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who is beloved by many in Mexico.

In addition to offering a broad selection for recipients like Mother, Grandmother and Sister, Sinceramente Hallmark provides additional variety with cards such as Comadre, Across the Miles, and First Mother's Day. All of the cards are in Spanish and feature English translations on the backs of the cards.

"Motherhood matters, especially in the Hispanic community,” says Torres. “We have responded to that specific need with a line of cards that shows honor, appreciation and love for all the mothers in our lives.”

Mother's Day's here... a day to celebrate all those wingless angels around us. No matter which part of the world is she from, a mother's always loving 'n caring. Wish your mom or someone who's a wonderful mom in a special way with our warm Spanish ecards for Mother's Day.

Spanish Mother's day Menu

2007-05-04T02:07:00.000-07:00

Spanish Mother's Day Menu
From Lisa & Tony Sierra,

Appetizers or Spanish Tapas: Make this Spanish tapa at the last minute, just as the guests arrive, so that they are piping hot. Make sure that you give your guests lots of paper napkins, so they can clean their fingers instead of licking them! This recipe is quick and easy and will not take longer than 20 minutes.

* Shrimp in Garlic – Gambas al Ajillo

More Appetizers or Spanish Tapas:

Tortilla Espanola, Tortilla de Patata, or in English Spanish or Potato Omelet is truly the national dish of Spain, made with fried potatoes, onions and eggs. Make the tortilla, a few hours ahead and let it rest. Then, cut into small squares and serve it with slices of fresh baguette. If you prefer, learn How to Make Tortilla Espanola with a Step-by-Step, complete with photos. A tortilla takes only about 35-40 minutes total preparation and cooking time and is not difficult.

* Spanish Omelet – Tortilla Espanola

First Course - Fresh Green Salad: Spanish make simple, fresh green salads that refresh the palette. The reason is probably because a simple green salad complements the other Spanish dishes, which are so flavorful. With this recipe, you’ll need Romaine or Iceburg lettuce, tomatoes and sliced red or yellow onions. This is another dish that you can prepare ahead of time and dress it when you place it on the table.

* Fresh Green Salad – Ensalada Verde
Main Course - Roast Suckling Pig:

Suckling pig, roasted until it is so tender that a plate can cut through it! Since sows give birth in the spring, this is the time of year that it should be easier to find. Talk to your butcher and ask him if he can order one. If you cannot find a suckling pig, use a pork roast. Since this may take a couple hours to roast, you can do the preparations and start the roast before guests arrive, so you can relax!

* Roast Suckling Pig – Cochinillo Asado

Side Dish - Potatoes a la Importancia: This “important” potatoes are bathed in a rich sauce, full of finely chopped onions, a bit of saffron and are sure to be a big hit at the table and will go well with a tender roast. The best part is that you can make them in the morning and refrigerate them. Then, put the pan on the stove to warm them up.

* Potatoes of Importance – Patatas a la Importancia

Dessert - Rioja Wine Sorbet: Yum! If your mom likes red wine and has never tried a wine sorbet, try this one! It is super easy to make and should be made at day ahead of time and frozen. In fact, you can make this recipe a week prior to serving. Be careful because once you try it, you may not have any left when the big day arrives!

* Rioja Wine Sorbet – Sorbete de Vino Rioja

More Menu Suggestions from the Guides:

Along with a short description of each Spanish dish are total estimated preparation/cooking time and information on whether you can make the dish ahead. Since there are several dishes that can be made ahead of time, divide up the cooking duties between your siblings and they can bring over the ones they prepare. It’s easy to email them the link to the recipes and share the chef spotlight (and the work).

Mother's day For those without Natural Mother's

2007-04-30T05:35:00.000-07:00

Not everyone has someone they call Mom. Many kids have more than one person to call Mom.

Some thoughts and ideas on spending Mother's Day with the different people you can call Mom
In May many kids will be celebrating Mother's Day with their Mom. Not all kids are fortunate enough to have their mom with them. Other kids face the conflict of having more then one person in their life they call mom.

Some kids have lost their moms tragically through death. Mother's Day can be a very difficult time if you have.

Feelings of loss and the need to grieve for your mother are very normal. There are some excellent resources online for kids to help you through this time. There are also places you can contact other kids who know what you are going through.

Divorce can also separate a child from their mother. It is not uncommon for dad's to have custody of kids. Some kids will celebrate Mother's Day with their dads. In some cases, dad is the one who fills the 'mom' roll. Honoring your dad for his commitment as a 'mom' as well as a dad at Mother's Day, is ok.

In other situations you may live with dad, but want to be with your mom for Mother's Day, which can sometimes cause conflicts. Talk to your Dad. He may understand why you might want to spend time with mom on this day.

Some kids might have two moms to share the holiday with. Your birth mom and your step mom. It can be a tough choice to have to decide who to spend the day with if you have a good relationship with both 'moms'. Step moms can understand why you might want to spend the day with your birth mom while still acknowledging that they are important to you as well.

Kids who are adopted may have two moms to celebrate the day with. You might celebrate Mother's Day and Birth Mother's Day. Some kids of adoption celebrate the day with their adopted mom, the only mom they have ever known.

Some kids have Foster Moms who deserve recognition at this time of year. As well, Grandmother's often fulfill the roll of 'mom'.

Other people who have become 'mom like' to you might include Big Sisters, the volunteer organization that provides mentoring for children. You may have a female mentor from another organization that you look up to like a 'mom'. Some teachers can fill the roll of a mom to kids.

Whatever your circumstance, don't be afraid to tell the person who you feel fills a 'mom like' roll in your life, how much they mean to you on this special day.

Tips For Single Mothers

2007-04-26T02:59:00.000-07:00

Single Parenting - 7 Tips for Handling the Double Load

By Debbie Eisenstadt Mandel

Albert Einstein described the three rules of work:

* Out of clutter find simplicity
* From discord find harmony
* In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity

Apparently, he was addressing the single parent. A single parent has to clean out the clutter, not just the physical mess, but the mental clutter. The discord that could arise from balancing work, child care and dating needs to be transformed into positive energy. In the middle of these great challenges lies the opportunity for a single parent to be creative and happy.

One does not take a licensing exam, or get a prescription to become a parent and there is no warning label either. Alright, everyone knows how hard the job is, here are seven tips to de-stress, find your balance, and live fully.

1. Express your true feelings. Say no when you don't feel like doing something. When you say no, you set positive boundaries and say yes to self-esteem. Being assertive does not mean that you are aggressive. Ask for help from family, friends and babysitters. Align yourself with affirming people who lift your spirits and make you feel better just being around them. Attend or develop a single-parenting support group.

2. Simplify your existence. Write a daily list to break large tasks into manageable chunks. If you find housework overwhelming, break that into manageable tasks, too. For example, every weekend clean and organize one closet or cabinet at a time. Clean out your pocket book. Don't let mail, bills, inessentials pile up. Keep things you need within reach, i.e. keys by the door, or stamps, address book and tape in a specific place. Cook multiple portions of meals and freeze leftovers. Use an answering machine to screen phone calls. Write a to-do list with the most difficult tasks first.

3. Schedule time for you on your calendar!! Before you became a parent, you were a person and guess what you still are. Do something pleasurable for yourself everyday. Here are some possibilities: an auto massage with warm olive oil, a desert tea and a portion controlled treat-preferably fruit, curling up with a good book, or turn your bathroom into a spa retreat with scented candles and a warm bath. Treat yourself to flowers. The color orange triggers cheerfulness.

How You Do It All On Your Own Mother!...

Happy Mother's Day.
With this special and warm moms day ecard say 'Love You' to your mom or someone dear on Mother's Day.
[ Postcard ]

4. Exercise away your stress, release endorphins, boost energy levels even when you are tired and bring you back to the moment. The moment is very important for a single parent. When a single parent goes to work, he or she worries about the job, co-workers and supervisors, and takes the child(ren) mentally to work. If one just does the job, one does not come home tired. Being in the moment is a great stress reducer and a source of energy. An energy booster translates to better interaction with children. By the way you can exercise with the kids or use them as weights lifting them and lowering!

5. Keep a stress file. Clip articles on stress management and take notes on what you read and hear to help you handle your personal stress. Memorize an affirmation to uplift your mood-when you memorize, it is readily available during tumultuous times.
6. Let go of the myth of perfection. Don't be so accommodating to everyone. Change your vocabulary from "I should" to "I could." Choice provides empowerment.

7. Cultivate a comic eye. Pretend your life is a sit com. If it were happening to someone else, I am sure you would be laughing. Humor activates the immune system, elevates serotonin, and cheers everyone up around you. Release your inner child with your child. Try to be more playful. The more you practice, the more it becomes second nature.

Become aware of your earliest physical symptoms of stress before you erupt. Some of us experience headaches, stomach aches, backaches or just plain irritability. When that happens begin to practice conscious breathing, inhale two counts through the nose and exhale four counts through the nose. Then objectify the conflict or situation and reinterpret it with compassion and forgiveness. Reinterpreting will help you turn stress into strength and keep you in the moment. A happy parent means a happy child. It is your moral obligation to be happy…

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

2007-04-23T23:05:00.000-07:00

You hear it every year. Mom telling you she doesn't need a gift to show her how much you care. This usually means you're busy the night before scavenging the grocery store aisle for a last-minute card or making a mad dash for the florist the morning of Mothers Day. Wouldn't you love to do something a little different this year? It doesn't have to mean speding a load money, either. In fact, there are some simple ways to show her you care without ever spending a dime. You just need a little time and creativity.

Clue Hunt
For something fun and interactive, make mom a Mothers Day card, but instead of presenting to her first thing in the morning or setting it on the kitchen table, hide it. That's right, hide it in an inconspicuous place. Maybe in a sock drawer or in a bathtub. Just make sure it's out of the way where mom can't see. Then, cut out squares of construction paper (or just notebook paper if you prefer) giving hints as to where the next hint can be found. Eventually the clues will lead to your card.

Construction Paper Flowers for Mother's day

You may have to use some skill for this next one, but it's more fun than real flowers and will last forever rather than a week. Get a book full of construction paper and make flowers from them. Be as creative as you'd like! They don't have to be that intricate or even that realistic. After you've made quite a few, gather them and put them in a vase to add to the look.

Scrapbook For Mother's day
This one may take a little more time and creativity, but the end result will be a huge payoff and something mom will cherish forever. Collect pictures of you and mom (preferably loose photos, don't go digging through old photo albums!) and put them into a scrapbook. You could even include a caption beneath them, or if you're feeling really creative, you could write a little poem beneath each corresponding photo just to add that special, personal touch. Mom will love it!

Mom's Day Coupons
This idea is more geared toward younger children. Tucked inside of a card, include a few homemade "coupons". They could be for various things to help mom out, such as "one free back massage" or "one free car wash". Anything to make mom's life a little easier.

There are so many things you could do for mom without spending much money, and that are more personal than a conventional Mothers Day card. Just have fun with it and be creative about it. Mom will appreciate it more than anything you could ever buy her!

How To Spend Mothers Day at Home

2007-04-23T23:01:00.000-07:00

In the past, Mothers Day meant taking your mother out to a fancy restaurant and treating her to a meal. It used to be that this was mom's way of getting a break. She didn't have to cook, and she didn't have to wash dishes. You could simply let her enjoy herself eating a meal that she didn't have to make or pay for.

However, the recent shift in Mother's Day celebrations has had many mom's wanting to spend the day at home with their families. It has become more of a custom to have mom rest at home, while the family takes care of her, getting her food and cleaning up and doing some of the chores. This has become something that is much more popular for many moms, and it has become more popular for a lot of reasons.

Stay At Home on Mother's day

First of all, the idea of getting dressed up and going to out to eat might seem fancy to a lot of moms who would rather just be at home. They don't' want to stress about what to wear and about having to be out in public with their families. Also going out does involve stress, especially if you have small children, and some moms might feel like they are working extra hard because they have to make sure their children behave in public.

To curb this idea, many moms prefer to stay at home. Their husbands and children can make them breakfast in bed and then the moms and the dads and the kids can spend the day together at home as a family. Many times the rest of the family will prepare a special Mothers Day meal for the mom, and she can simply sit back and watch. Then, they'll help out by doing the chores that mom usually does.

The reason that it has become more and more popular to spend Mothers Day at home with families is basically because that is what the day is intended to be about. The day shouldn't be about showing off your family and dressing up in fancy clothes to go to a restaurant. By staying at home, mothers can be surrounded by the people that they love, and the families can still show mom how important she is by cooking her food and by doing things for her during the day.

The main purpose behind Mothers Day is to show mom how important she is. Because of this, the day should be about the things that mom wants to do, and she should be able to choose how she spends her day. Most of the moms in the world want to spend their very own day with the family that they love, the family that they spend each of their days taking care of. If you ask your mom what she wants to do for Mothers Day, you'll find that most of the time she wants to be at home, close to those that she loves.

Being at home is the result of wanting to be with the people you care about the most. Don't be surprised if your mom or your wife doesn't want a fancy dinner on her special day. In fact, be honored that she would rather spend the day at home with you than go out to eat somewhere fancy. There are many things that you can do as a family for Mothers Day that your mom or your wife will appreciate more than a dinner. These can be as simple as playing a game together as a family, or even cooking together. No matter what, your mom wants to spend the day at home, with you!

Tips for Working Mothers returning After Maternity Break

2007-04-18T03:37:00.000-07:00

Many women combine motherhood with a job or career outside the home. If you're a new mother planning to return to work, you may be wondering just how you're going to manage both successfully.

It will be a challenge, but being a working mother is something you can manage — if you plan ahead. Prepare yourself for the demands of being a working mother, including how you'll cope with leaving your baby and the logistics of breast-feeding.
Emotional issues for the working mother: Parting with your infant

Returning to work poses emotional conflicts for new mothers. You might have feelings of guilt over leaving your baby in child care, but you might also feel relieved to be back at work. You're juggling more in your life — not only the usual work hours, dinner preparation, household chores, time for yourself and time with your partner, but now the time-consuming tasks and pleasures of your new baby.

Here are some things you can do, both before you go on leave and once you return to your job, that can help ease your transition back to work.

Before you return to work

* Decide on a return-to-work date. Discuss with your employer your options for how much time you can take for maternity leave. You might not have the luxury of deciding whether or not to return to work, but you can take as much time as you're allowed. Choose a day that's later in the week to make your first week back to work a short one.

* Find dependable child care. The thought of leaving your newborn in someone else's care can be troubling. Finding a reliable child care provider whom you trust can ease your mind considerably. Your child care options range from individual in-home care to a child care center.

* Have a talk with your boss. Discuss your job duties and schedule so you'll know what's expected of you when you return. If your workplace offers some flexibility, ask about flexible hours or working from home on occasion. Be prepared to suggest ways of making a more flexible arrangement work.

An Angel From Above...

Once you're back at work

* Manage your time and be organized. Combining a job with raising a child demands honed time management and organizational skills. You have a lot of responsibilities, and to make sure they're all attended to — and that you maintain some sense of sanity — set up a system for making sure everything gets done. Too many demands and not enough of you to go around means you may have to let less important matters slide.

* Stay connected. Find little ways to stay connected with your baby when you're away from him or her. Plan a daily phone call to see how your baby's doing. Keep some photos on your desk. Look forward to spending time with your baby that evening.

* Make backup plans. There will be days when your baby is sick or your child care center is closed. Be prepared with alternative plans on those days. Check with your employer beforehand about taking time off when your child is sick. Talk with a family member or close friend in advance about filling in if you can't bring your baby to child care.

* Accept that you'll feel guilty or sad at times. If you're like a lot of mothers, you'll struggle with feelings of guilt. You might feel sad that you can't spend as much time as you'd like with your baby. These feelings are common, and it might help to discuss them with your friends or other mothers in similar circumstances. Talk to your spouse about how you're feeling. If your sadness or guilty feelings are increasing or overwhelming, mention them to your doctor.

* Establish a support system. Give up trying to do it all yourself. Accept help from your partner, family members and friends. Seek out other working mothers who can offer support as you make the transition back to work.

* Take time for yourself. As difficult as this may seem, take time to nurture your own well-being. Taking the baby for a walk is enjoyable for your baby, and it's good exercise for you. Rely on easy-to-prepare meals or a relaxing bath after putting your baby to bed to help ease stress. If you feel less stressed, you'll be able to better enjoy your baby when you're together.

* Get as much rest as possible. You'll have times when you feel so tired you'll wonder how you can do it all. Unfortunately, fatigue goes hand in hand with being a new parent. Try going to bed early one night each week to catch up on sleep. Cut down on unnecessary commitments. Set aside time on weekends to take a nap while your baby is sleeping. The better rested you are, the easier it will be to handle those everyday problems that crop up.

Combining motherhood with work isn't easy. Certainly you'll have days when you won't feel like going to work, especially if your baby is fussy or seems particularly clingy. But as you and your child become used to your schedule, as your baby settles into a routine and as you become more adept at managing multiple demands, you'll learn how to handle these normal ups and downs.

Mother's day Gift Ideas For Mom Who is Away

2007-04-16T02:17:00.000-07:00

If you can’t be with your mom this Mother's Day because the distance is too far to travel, that doesn’t mean you can’t give her the perfect gift instead. For an out of town mother, gift giving can be complicated. You don’t want to mail anything fragile, and flower delivery gets old after awhile. Here are some creative gift ideas for out of town mothers.

Mother's Day Homemade Cards and Stationery

You and your mother might be separated by distance, but that doesn’t mean you can’t communicate on a regular basis. Sure, you call or email each other, but nothing is quite as personal as a letter. If you and your mother don’t already write to each other, now’s the perfect time to start.

A Lot Of Things Have Changed...
As you miss your mom on Mother's Day... share some warm thoughts with her by sending this beautiful ecard.

Know Who I'm Missing The Most ?
Express how much you are missing her with this cute mother's ecard.
[ Flash ]

Go to a local craft store like Michaels and buy blank note card or stationery sets. Then, decorate the blank cards or stationery with rubber stamps and pictures cut out of magazines. Make a set for you and a set for your mother, and send your mother’s set to her with a note that explains she’d better start writing to you. For an extra touch, pre-address and stamp the envelopes. Mothers love homemade presents, and now you’ll never have an excuse to lose touch!

Travel Tickets

Got some frequent flier miles you don’t know what to do with? Use them to get your mom a plane ticket to see you this Mother’s Day. If flying your mother to see you is outside your budget, consider train tickets. Amtrak even offers a frequent rider ticket between some locations that your mother can use several times for as long as the ticket is good.

Coffee or Chocolate of the Month Clubs

Does mom have a sweet tooth or a coffee addiction? Consider getting her a gift subscription to a gourmet coffee or chocolate of the month club for Mother’s Day. You won’t have to ship anything yourself, and your mother will know how much you love her all year long.

You Are The Woman I Want To Be !
In a poetic way say a warm thank you to your mom for all her love 'n care.

The One I Can Never Do Without...

Day-in-the-Life Scrapbook

If your mother lives really far away and visits are infrequent, make her a scrapbook filled with pictures of you, your family and friends, your home, your pets, your job, and anything else that matters to you. Write captions explaining who and what the pictures are. You can lay out the scrapbook to detail a day in your life, or as a pretend visit where you introduce your mom to all your friends and coworkers and give her a tour of your town. Your mother will be impressed with all the effort you put into her Mother’s Day gift, and she’ll feel as good as if she actually got to visit.
If your mother recently relocated, consider sending her a Home Depot gift card for Mother’s Day. She probably needs things like towel racks and plants to decorate her new place, and a home improvement gift card will show her that you support her decision to move. Your Mother’s Day gift can also double as an absentee housewarming present.

Mothers day : ways of Supring your mom

2007-04-16T02:08:00.000-07:00

There are various ways to celebrate mother’s day. Young Children can let their mom know how special they are by inviting mm to a movie. Take the movie section from a recent newspaper to your florist and ask him or her to place it in a box of flowers. Decorate the outside of the box with movie candy or candy and popcorn wrappers. Include a card letting mom know she gets to pick the movie and you'll buy the tickets and treats (Dad may have to help with this one).

Another unique way for young children and dad to celebrate Mothers day is to send mom on a floral treasure hunt. Purchase several single stems of flowers. Have your florist place a flower tube on each one. Hide the flowers around the house and give mom clues to lead her to each one. Make the last find a vase to place the flowers in and a note letting her know what a treasure she is. She is sure to love these.

You're Appreciated...

Another simple task would be to let her have the day off; Dad would take over and send mom on a relaxation day. She doesn’t even have to leave the house. Serve her breakfast in bed, with her favorite flower, bubble bath, a movie of her choice and a nice dinner.

Mothers Day History

2007-04-10T05:01:00.000-07:00

Mother's Day is set apart every year in honor of motherhood. On the second Sunday in May, many families and churches make a special point of honoring mothers. Many people follow the custom of wearing a carnation on Mother's Day. A colored carnation means that a person's mother is living. A white carnation indicates that a person's mother is dead.

Mother's Day, first observed in 1908, was recognized officially by Congress and the President in 1914. It is celebrated in honor of the nation's mothers on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day is one of the holidays that have been designated by Presidential proclamations.

A day for honoring mothers was observed many years ago in England. It was called Mothering Sunday, and came in mid-Lent. Yugoslavs and people in other nations have observed similar days.

Now, the Mother’s Day celebrations in the United States are credited to one woman named Anna Marie Jarvis, whose consistent efforts to create a day especially for mothers finally made the US who’s who sit up and consider recognizing a Mother’s Day every year. Her mother, Anna Maria Reeves Jarvis, played an active role in improving worker health conditions and is remembered still for her notable healing expeditions during the Civil War. And when she died on May 9, 1905, her daughter Miss Jarvis took up the cause of a truly recognized Mother’s Day celebration to honor her own mother Mrs. Anna Jarvis as well as all the other mothers around the world.

Acknowledging the growing neglect of American parents in particular, she embarked on her crusade to establish a national observance of Mother’s Day. To pay tribute to her late mom, she held a church service at the Andrews Methodist Church on May 12, 1907. She gave white carnations to all who attended the memorial ceremony as carnations were Mrs. Jarvis’ favorite blooms. It was from then that she committed her life to the mothers’ cause.

Miss Anna Jarvis succeeded in making her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia celebrate a Mother’s Day on the death anniversary of Mrs. Jarvis. Church services were held there on May 10, 1908 in memory of Anna’s mother and a similar observance followed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania the next year. This is considered the very first Mother’s Day celebrations in the United States of America.

Thereafter, Miss Jarvis ran from pillar to post to make Mother’s Day an official holiday in her country. She led campaigns, talked to political parties, wrote letters to ministers, businessmen and fostered in them a need to establish a national Mother’s Day. Her efforts finally bore fruit in 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in May to be celebrated as Mother’s Day and made it a national holiday. Since then, Mother’s Day has been celebrated in the US every year on the second Sunday in May. However, Mother’s Day celebrations existed in many parts of the country even before this declaration. But with President Wilson’s official announcement of 1914, Mother’s Day got its due recognition and started taking shape of a worldwide celebration. Currently, Mother’s Day is celebrated in almost all parts of the world, though on different dates in the year.
