May 8th will be a very special day for every mom in the US. MOTHER"S DAY! A day of celebration for moms! Whether you are a working mom, stay-at-home mom or work-from-home mom, you should be celebrated!
Women tend to put themselves on the back burner all the time. We are putting out fires, dealing with melt downs by our kiddos, listening when our husbands need an ear and so many other things! We are superwomen! Or everyone expects us to be! At least that is how I feel in my house.
