Celebrating Motherhood, Big Events, and Summer Vacation
By Zan Tyler
How was your Mother’s Day this year? For me, Mother’s Days are like birthdays: some come and go with little fanfare, there are a few I would like to forget, and others become a memory I will cherish forever.
My first Mother’s Day in 1978 fell in the cherish-forever category. Author Sarah Ban Breathnach said, "The new mother holding her first miracle enjoys the best Mother’s Day." I celebrated my first Mother’s Day in the hospital, holding that first miracle, just two days old. I have been celebrating motherhood and family life ever since. ...
In addition to Mother’s Day, May is famous for graduations, baseball tournaments, swim meets, music recitals, soccer playoffs, dance recitals, state homeschool conventions—the list goes on ad infinitum. Homeschooling parents have the added pressure of trying to finish the school year in the midst of all this craziness.
How can you make it through May and keep your sanity?
