Mother's day is a day to celebrate the friendship and companionship in your life, in the form of your mother. Here are some famous quotes to read and enjoy.

Mother's day is a special day, when you show your reverence to your mother for all the efforts and sacrifices she made and continues to do so to be a dedicated mom. It is an occasion to express your love for all her unconditional loving over the years. Moms, in broad terms are simple, strict, traditional, soft, and cool; all at the same time. They have been, are, and will always be the centre of attraction for the kids; everything mothers do or speak holds tremendous importance in the eyes of a child.

For every child, his mommy is the best, a celebrity in her own right. And though all kids love their mothers, often, they miss to express it. Hence, mother's day is an occasion to give tribute to motherhood, expressing your love and affection through cards, letters, greetings, notes, and famous quotes. A brilliant idea it is.

Listed below are some famous quotes, which would make your mother feel on cloud nine.

Mother's Day Love Quotes

Victoria Knight   

The relationship which is shared by a mother and her child is priceless in its truest sense. From the day of your birth, you remember her bestowing her love upon you for nothing in return at all. The toil and hardships that she faces to let you grow peacefully are unimaginably big. Things she sacrificed for your prosperous future are beyond belief.

However, she never complained and went on being that sweet mother of yours. In return, to honour this divine entity a day was devoted entirely to her and was called Mother's Day. It was in the year 1914, when the American president Woodrow Wilson proclaimed every second Sunday of May as a national holiday, officially declaring it as a Mother's Day. It's a tribute to all the mothers of this world: celebrated to honour all the mothers and an expression of gratitude for the hardships they have gone through.

So, show them your gratitude with choicest selection of words, by expressing your love with these quotes.

May Day Baskets for Friends!

May Day Baskets for Friends!

Victoria Knight   

Here is my idea for May Day Baskets for friends. This wasn't a big tradition where I grew up, but Jen and my husband, Jared, remember taking cute baskets around the neighborhood as kids. They grew up in the Midwest. I think it is adorable. We will have to try it next year, I think the kids would love this tradition.

Here is a picture of our May Day baskets we are going to take to our friends. I used a cup and punched a hole on both sides and used a pipe cleaner for the handle. I used my cricuit and cut out flowers and punched a hole in the middle and stuck a sucker throught the hole and then I used a green straw to make the stem longer.

May Day Facts:

Here are some fun May Day Facts that Jen compiled as well.

May Day (May 1st) is celebrated in many places around the world. The traditions and stories surrounding May Day vary from place to place. There is, however, one thing that is similar in most celebrations - the use of Flowers!

One of the most popularly known May Day traditions is to hang a basket full of spring flowers and/or other small gifts on a neighbor's doorknob. The trick is you don't want the neighbor to see you! If you get caught, you are supposed to get a kiss.

A popular activity on May Day is to decorate a pole with brightly colored ribbon or paper streamers. Some also add flowers and balloons. The pole is usually carried in a parade and then placed in the ground at a designated area. People then dance around the May Pole, holding the ends of the streamers or ribbon in their hands.  Make your own tabletop May Pole here.

In London, May Day is celebrated with the children going from house to house. They bring flowers and get pennies in return. The pennies are then thrown into a wishing well. The pennies are then donated to charity.

In France, cows play an important role in May Day. The cows are led in parades with many flowers attached to their tails. The people watching the parade try to touch the cows; it is believed to be good luck.

In Germany, one tradition is for boys to secretly plant a May tree in front of the window of the girl they love.

On May 1st, people in Hawaii celebrate their own version of May Day; they call it Lei Day. People give Hawaiian leis to each other. They put them around each other's necks and sometimes give a traditional kiss.

ENJOY!

Every holiday we are always making fun keepsakes for meme, grandma and other special family members. Two years ago we made these special flower pots and placed baby pictures of the kids in them .

The are very easy to make. For the flower part we used cupcake holders and for the stem we used popsicle sticks. Then to hold the special picture flowers in the flower pot we used styrofoam. This craft is fun and easy for all ages. You can get all the supplies from the Dollar Store and have enough supplies to make several.
