Mother's Day Appreciation

Loving, honoring, and appreciating motherhood!

The blessing of our mothers,

the blessing of being a mom.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day's Roots: Philadelphia

I snapped a photo of this sign in Philly, finding it really interesting

that Mother's Day had its beginnings in Philadelphia.

How blessed I've been to have had the influence of

not one, but two wonderful mothers!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you who have

been given the indescribable gift of motherhood!

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, 

and comes down from the Father of lights, 

with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning."

James 1:17

"I remember my mother's prayers

and they have always followed me.

They have clung to me all my life."

-Abraham Lincoln

I've been blessed with two mothers who have prayed for me.

How grateful I am for their steadfast faith & love!

Enjoy these vintage illustrations of mothers and their children

as we pay tribute to our moms and

The Art of … Tea

Oh, the comfort we get from a hot cup of tea!

Unlike the expected lift from coffee,
drinking tea isn't really about the outcome at all.

Rather, the relaxing process. A call to stillness.

The calming ritual. The leisurely sipping.

Absorb the warmth and the aroma with me as we
have our own tea party of sorts to celebrate Mother's Day
and to appreciate these artists' renditions of The Art of ... Tea!

"A woman is like a tea bag -
you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water."

-Eleanor Roosevelt
