Your special day is fast approaching and we want to let you know how much we appreciate all you do each and every day for your child. We want your special day to be filled with wonderful memories.  Enjoy the laughter, the smiles, the hugs, and the love!! Here are some thoughts for May 13th (or any day of the year).

Mom's Perfect Day

webassets/mothersday5.JPGAt the playground, you get to sit down for seven consecutive minutes. The board game has all its pieces. And none of them are sticky. When you put dinner on the table, everyone shouts, "Hurray! My favorite!" Your toddler sneaks out of bed, just to ask you for a hug and a kiss.

Advise From Other Moms

Live in the Moment - As the mother of a new baby, I was given the following advice from a mother of five: "The days are long but the years are short." I have found this to be so true - children grow up before you know it!!

Respect the Routine - The best bit of wisdom I received from my mother when I became a mom was really quite simple: children need ordinary Tuesdays. That is, they thrive on routine, everyday activities. Parents can become too focused on "doing" things with their children and not take the time to experience regular, simple life together.

Put Aside Your Worries - "Worry is the rust of life!" Make a concerted effort to avoid the rusty stuff and enjoy the ride.

CHERISH WHAT MATTERS!!
