Happy Mother’s Day! I was reading a post on Less Cake More Frosting and Ellie G seemed to sum up my sentiments exactly. She wrote,
“Certainly Mothers Day is a wonderful day, and worthy of a HUGE CELEBRATION. In fact, we should probably celebrate Mothers more that just 24 hours each year. (Someone tell that to my kids. I need more than just a 24 hour break. Geez. Who's in charge of benefits at this job? H. R.? Anyone?)
But I want to change it to "Mothering Day".
Mothering, the act of caring for another.
Now THAT is a universal trait given to women. All women.
A celebration of the things that make women unique. That make them inherently giving, and nurturing, and soft. Those are still the things I love in my mother. But they are also things I adore in my son's school teacher. Or in my Aunts. Or in women that I admire.”
(Check out the whole awesome post here.)
I know that there are so many amazing women in my life, past and present, who have helped to shape me into who I am. So to all you wonderful women, whether you are mothers or not, Happy Mothering Day!

Speaking of printables, I was flipping back through old posts from Aimee of Sprik Space, when I came across an awesome link. If you love free printables, you HAVE to check out ishare printables.
