Mother’s Day always brings up a lot of emotions for me. My mom Marvel is the inspiration for my blog Living Marvelously. She passed away in 2002 from breast cancer. I think about her and feel her presence every day, but on Mother’s Day, it takes a new meaning. But one of the biggest things I miss about my mom is the way she made us laugh. So, this year I thought I would just share some Mother’s Day fun.
Wherever your mother or your children are this year, let’s spread a little cheer and make each other smile.

Have you ever realized how talented mothers are?
They are…
- Nurses
- Teachers
- Pastors
- Chefs
- Housekeepers
- Peacemakers
- Chauffeurs
- Finance Managers
- Event Planners
- Comedians, and
- Therapists
But all kidding aside, moms are pretty awesome! Even the ones who acted as a mother figure in your life.
In whatever manner works best for each mom, the ultimate goal is to raise children to be responsible and productive human beings.
And it doesn’t hurt to have some fun and laughter along the way.
So, share some Mother’s Day fun this year. Make your mother laugh and bring some light and fun into this time of being alone and a little afraid. Share with her your favorite ways she made you laugh. Thank her for just being her.
Of course, a nice gift would still be appreciated too:)
Happy Mother’s Day!
