So Mother’s Day was yesterday and we spent the day honoring mom, right? Well, why does mom only get one day. Think about it. Mother’s are the glue to families. We run the house, we make sure everything gets taken care of. We are the teachers, we are the nurse maids, we are the painters, the household managers; there is not a job that we don’t do. Even in my house where I consider the trash to be my husband’s job, I do it often. We just keep everything moving forward, always ready for the unexpected. With kids, there is always something new around the corner.
Like Miles running after his friend and not looking where he was going. He had a wipe out. I was terrified that he broke his nose but it was just a bruise and he was fine.
I kissed the boo boo and many other boo boo’s all year round just like any other mom. It’s not until you have your own children that you can truly appreciate your own mother. I love you mom, and you too Teresa!
Western Union is still honoring moms with their Return the Love Campaign. By uploading a photo to the Return the love gallery on flickr you can show off how special your mother is. Each week new pictures will be featured on Western Union.
Two Weeks ago Western Union even had a concert at Camp Pendleton in San Diego for military families. The concert featured Wyclef Jean and Paulina Rubio and gave moms and families a nice way to celebrate love. There are plenty of ways to show love to those you care about. Western Union is always there for you if you need to send some money to someone you love in need.

Since I don’t live close to my my mother I call her each week and send her green plants just for the heck of it.

When I am able to drop by….my work schedule doesn’t let me get to visit her as often as I did, but she is so happy when I can move things around and be with her.

I take her to therapy every week and then we go get milkshakes. Just spending time with her is important.
I make my mom feel special by taking her for a mani and pedi and then out to lunch every month.

I call my mom everyday just to let her know I am thinking about her.
My family waited on me hand and foot on mothers day, it made me feel very special!
