Mother's Day Tips

I love being a mom. Having six children, I always get asked if I wanted a big family. I find that question interesting. Like I just woke up one day with a bunch of kids and said, "How in the heck did they get here?! And why are calling me mom!" So no, I can't think of one of them I didn't want. In fact, it is my greatest joy to be their mother. They are my treasure. It has been my privilege to teach them and raise them to be the wonderful people they have become.

That doesn't mean that mothering is always easy.
It is serious work and you deserve to celebrated.
