coming soon..... ~mama's day~

Mother's Day will be here soon..... but why do we celebrate Mother's Day? Well, besides the obvious~~ here's a little history lesson:

Anna Jarvis, an Appalachian homemaker, organized a day to raise awareness to poor health conditions in her community and thought it would be best advocated by mothers. She called this day Mother's Work Day. After her death in 1905, her daughter, also named Anna, began to campaign the life works of her mother and remembered a Sunday school lesson taught by her mother in which she said "I hope and pray that someone, sometime, will found a mother's memorial day. For there are many days for men, but none for mother's." In 1914, Anna's hard work paid off when President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Mother's Day, the second Sunday in May, as a national holiday. The early years of Mother's Day were celebrated by going to church, children writing letters to their mothers and eventually by sending cards, presents and flowers.

Well, I know my mom deserves a day for us to honor her and I'm glad we do. We don't always get to take her places and buy her nice things... so we (my children, my husband and I) take the time to honor her and my mother-in-law on this day. And they in turn take the time to honor me... which is an awesome feeling to share with both of them...

3D Monogrammed Frames for Grad's~


Picture frames have always been a perfect gift for a graduating student. I haven't been living at home with my parents for a good number of years, but they still have a silver engraved frame of me in my cap and gown. I visit them often so I see myself and remember the day I graduated and oh~ how proud I am of that. There's a silent something said about a picture or document that is framed.... something of importance and proud moments. To be shown off for everyone to see. What a thoughtful way to say I am proud of you by framing that special moment.
