Mother's Day: Honor lasts

U.S. moms may get dinner in a restaurant for Mother's Day, but they say they are honored on Mother's Day for no more than 5-10 minutes, a survey indicates.

A survey of 1,690 U.S. mothers for The Mom Complex -- a global think tank that inspires, enables and challenges moms and marketers to better understand each other -- indicates that on Mother's Day, mom is supposed to come first, 40 percent of American mothers say their husband and children come first on Mother's Day.

The card has a flower drawn by the student and the face of the flower is a button with their child’s picture and a banner wishing them a Happy Mother’s Day.

“When I first came here we started collecting aluminum cans and if we made a gift or bought something for our moms, we didn’t have to ask Mom for money,” first-grade teacher Jan Dickerhoff said. “So we collect aluminum cans and use that money to buy what we need.” While she does have a little help from a friend who takes the children’s pictures and creates the buttons for them, the gift is otherwise completely made by the students.

What do I want for Mother’s Day? Just two simple things - sunshine and just a few hours of peace to enjoy my kids and not have to worry about anything. My mother used to say when it was sunny on Mother’s Day that “God was smiling on mothers today” and I said “God smiles on mothers every day.” After all, isn’t it every day we get to enjoy the gifts of motherhood?

Hugs are a great environmentally friendly choice this Mother’s Day. Depending on the donor, they can be organic, vegan, and full of love.

Happy Mother’s Day to all!
