What Does Mother's Day Mean To You?

Tell us about what Mother's Day means to you. What has or hasn't changed since you are a mother? What are some of the traditions you did for your own mother and grandmother growing up? How do you plan to spend the day with your family? We'd love to know.

Every year we go down to the childrens hospital where I use to work as a LPN. We take books and suffed animals, coloring books, and crayons. The kids Love it and weve been doing it since my oldest dd was 2 which is when I stopped working. They really look foward to it and enjoy talking to the nurses and doctors especially my 2 oldest dd since one wants to be a RN and the other wants to be a pediatrician. I like it becasue my children bring me joy everyday and on Mothers day I let them make someones elses day. Unfortunely we won't be able to do it this year but maybe we can go another time this month.

I don't expect to do anything special on that day as I personnaly think that Mother's day should be every day (same for Father's day and Valentine day). I think is more a commercial day. We should always be thankful to our mother/father/partner everyday not only 1 day per year!

Mothers day is a day that can be observed 365 days a year, this is not something we do on just this day. We have the opportunity to make a difference in someone life everyday, and someone needs to hear our voice of hope, see a smile of comfort, feel our arms of love, and we have the ability to give and to do this everyday we live. We don't have to have children in order to give or get a mothers day present, so many people need a mother, maybe you are who they are looking for. MAY I BE SO LORD.

I know mothers day is over but the previous posts have been bugging me.
Moms and Dads and Love should be celebrated everyday of the year you are right. But some people dont have that luxury or husbands or kids with that mind set. If there wasnt a day how many people do you really think would get appritiation for what they do everyday? And how many people would celbrate their love for eachother besides on their anniversarys. I dont know many and Im one of the women who get thanks and love more than on one day a year. My husband shows me he loves me and appritiates me more than once a year but its nice to have that day set out for us or them to take for that special thing. Yes it is over commercialized but why not make a big deal about it and spend a little money for a gift that says, Thank you for being you, or I Love You!
To me its about celebrating moms everywhere, and giving credit to all that we do. Its a very rare occasion when people say thank you for being you and thank you for being my mom. Its also a day kind of like our birthdays where we take the day off and let everyone else do it all. Of course that doesnt happen completly but for the most part it does. Before I was a mom it was all about taking care of my mom and grandma for the day but now its about relaxing and talking to them while everyone else does things for us. There arent any traditions in our family but I wish that there where, it would be nice to have that same thing to do every year so that we knew what was happening and didnt have to call 20 different people to get together. This year we're going to hubby's mom in the morning and then my mom and maybe my sister are coming to our place in the afternoon. I still havent decided what to make so I'd better get planing.
