Celebrating Teachers

I think the reason Mothers Day and Teacher Appreciation Week are around the same time of year is because it is a time to show your love and appreciation to those who help grow the flowers of tomorrow. Teachers are extremely important and when you get a phenomenal teacher, like Tommy was got this year, it makes all the difference in the world. Mrs. D has got to be the BEST Kindergarten Teacher in the wold!! She is so wonderful with all of the children in the class. She has so much Patience and love for each child. Being a teacher, let alone a kindergarten teacher, is hard work and a challenge and she does it with ease. I am very delighted that Tommy was put into her class.
I strongly believe that teachers are important to our future and when a fabulous teacher gets a hold of the clay we call children and helps mold them to dream and potentially become something amazing I believe that is something worth celebrating! Teachers devote time, effort, energy and pure love into the children and Mrs. D does this with each and every child that walks through her class room doors.
Celebrate your teachers, Pre-School through Grad School with a little something for their class(school supplies) and make sure you say thank you.

Spring into action and celebrate Mom!!!

Spring time is not only amazing with all of the animals waking up from a long winters nap, making their way back to a warmer climate, or having nests come alive with new life, and flowers opening to the sun's kiss, bees buzzing, but it’s a beautiful time of year for weddings, it’s a perfect season for spring cleaning and taxes, a time for Celebrating Easter, Rejoicing Mother Earth, it’s a time to jump in puddles, roll in the grass, have a picnic, and Spring is the season to celebrate Mothers.

Mothers make the world go round; we dry tears with our sleeves, we are a shoulder to cry on, we are an open ear to hear what needs to be said, we have eyes that seem to see EVERYTHING, we kiss a boo-boo and magically it is all better, we are the warm hugs that keep you safe, we are the heroes that frighten the monsters under the bed, we sing the soft lullabies and make up the most daring adventurous bedtime stories, we make the coolest forts out of sheets, we are there to correct you when you are into mischief, we are a crutch when you need assistance, we are your motivation when you feel discouraged, we are your cheerleading team that never gives up on you no matter what the final score ends up being, we are beyond proud when you succeed, we are supportive and there to help you back up if you fail, and most importantly we are the GIGANTIC HEART that will love you to the moon and beyond.

I am one of the luckiest mothers in the world to have two beautiful and amazing children!!! They are growing up so fast and it doesn’t matter the good, bad or different they are my little luv bugs. I am also so fortunate to have sat on a rainbow and land in a pot of gold; I have the best girlfriends in the world that are also fabulous mothers!! I don’t know where I would be without them and they teach me so much!! I love them all and am impressed with them; they are so beautiful and amazing in so many ways. My mother is a very special woman, she is her own person, and there is no one in the world that is like her. She has her own way of doing things, and no matter what anyone says she is a wonderful Oma!!

If you have a spectacular mother, grandmother or great grandmother, or if you have fabulous girlfriends, beautiful sisters, amazing cousins and aunts that are mothers, celebrate them this weekend! They have traded sleep for dark circles, salon haircuts for a ponytail, long showers for quick ones, designer bags for diaper bags, they stay up late and get up early, help you on last minute projects the night before they are due, they did everything they can just for you! They are mothers!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all of my MOMMYs!!! ::HUGS::
