Happy Mother's Day!

NEW POST:

For all Moms:
(These quotes were taken from 'If Mothers Were Flowers I'd Pick You' published by History & Heraldry in 2009, a little book-cum-key chain a student gave me. Read and choose one that fits you best.)

A Mother's first gift is life, the second is love and the third is understanding.

Instant availability without continuous presence is probably the best role a mother can play. - Lotte Bailyn

To become a mother is not hard, to be a mother is.

There's no such thing as a non-working mother. - Hester Mundi

A Mother's love is a garden where the sun always shines and the season is always Spring.

Mother is another word for love.

Now, as always, the most automated appliance in the household is the mother. -Beverly Jones

Mothers are the most incisive philosophers. -Harriet Beecher Stowe

A mother's love transcends time and circumstances and endures forever.

This would be a better world for children if parents had to eat the spinach. - Groucho Marx, 'Animal Crackers'

A baby is an alimentary canal with a loud voice at the end and no responsibility at the other.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITE:
