Psst! Did you remember that tomorrow is Mother’s Day?

It’s OK if you forgot, because you still have options.

Besides the FREE 8×10 photo enlargement through Walgreens, you can access free printable Mother’s Day cards via the following links:

With these printable options, you can print, sign, and give to the special mom, mother-in-law, sister, aunt, grandmother, or friend in your life.

The whispering continues in our household. After school, the backpacks disappeared upstairs to find hiding places for items they brought home. Later, the backpacks were put back in their usual places.

Now, we wait to see if they can keep a secret. Meanwhile, Miss 6 has come downstairs to get markers as she says she is working on a special project for this weekend.

Our Sunday is going to be exciting. I look forward to seeing and hearing about their tokens of love and appreciation. Happy planning for a great Mother’s Day!

Mother's Day FREEbies - May 12, 2013

Bombarded by opinions on Facebook surrounding Mother’s Day, I disagree with many individuals regarding their disapproval of setting aside a special day to celebrate motherhood.

Yes, we have a holiday for everything, but that doesn’t mean you have to celebrate every holiday or special event. Agreeing that I prefer not to be the center of attention, I do like the special treatment naturally presented on Mother’s Day.

I appreciate my mom and I express my gratitude to her often, but I join others in celebrating the special moms in my life and making them feel special this Sunday, May 12, 2013.

Celebrating being one of the girls, I like the community of Mother’s Day because we are not alone as we raise and invest in the lives of our children.

To honor the special moms in your life, celebrate with these Mother’s Day FREEbies:

FREE Mother’s Day Card
