Serenity Sunday

It’s Mother’s Day and I for one have never been big on Hallmark moments and Days created just so people will spend more money on cards and gifts. I noticed that barely a month in the year goes by that doesn’t include a made up holiday, but it is Serenity Sunday and so I am making an effort to honor my motherhood, which I honor everyday anyway and to honor those of you who are mothers. I have found some quotes and a couple pictures, that are not as corny as the rest of them for todays post! I  hope you enjoy them and smile a little because I already know you love your children well!
