The Best Mother’s Day Gift
Written by faith | 0Over the years, I’ve saved all my cards from my daughter, her first handmade ones from preschool. I especially love the ones which included such things as
1. A breakfast in bed (from a 6 year old – wonder what that would be?) and
2. daily art or paintings for a week.
If you’re like me and want to preserve your children’s cards or drawings in an artistic way, many schools sign on with online art studios, which put images into frames, cards, calendars, mugs, you name it. Here’s one, for example….Artsonia.com.
This is the day when all mothers recall the treasure it is to be a mom. And now that I’m a “mema” as referenced by my 2 grandsons, it’s another amazing experience of love.
This Sunday my very special gift is a visit from my daughter… how fantastic that will be.
As for a great Mother’s Day gift, I love this one from my good friend Debra Prinzing…(reviewed by LATimes today)
You can order the book from Amazon.com.
Happy Mother’s Day!
