Down Home would like to wish all of our SLOCA moms and grandmothers a very happy Mother’s Day this Sunday!
Perhaps one of the best ways to honor mom is to set aside the phones and laptops and tablets and video games, and spend time together as a family doing something mom wants to do. Make that your Free by Five time this weekend!
In honor of YOU, moms, here are a handful of favorite quotes about motherhood:
Most of all the other beautiful things in life come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundreds. Plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins, comrades and friends—but only one mother in the whole world.
~ Kate Douglas Wiggin
Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed.
~ Linda Wooten
Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.
~ P.J. O’Rourke
The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.
~ Elaine Heffner
If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?
~ Milton Berle
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.
~Washington Irving
My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
~ Mark Twain
Have a lovely Sunday celebrating the mothers in your life, and/or being celebrated!
