Moms do it all—and somehow make it look easy—so let’s celebrate them with a little bit of everything: sweet quotes, a cute craft, and plenty of reasons to remind her just how much she’s loved.
Oh, Mom, you’re a star, and that’s no surprise,
With your love in your heart and joy in your eyes.
You fix all our meals, you tie all our shoes,
And somehow, you always know just what to do.
You’re the queen of the carpool, the master of hugs,
You balance our chaos with smiles and shrugs.
You cheer us on loudly, you lift us up high,
No wonder we think you’re a supermom, and that’s no lie!
From early morning wake-ups to late-night talks,
You walk the walk, and you rock the walk!
With your strength, your patience, and endless care,
You make everything better—life’s little flare.
So here’s to you, Mom, on this special day,
For all that you do in your magical way.
You’re loved more than words or gifts can show,
Happy Mother’s Day! You’re our heart’s glow!

Wooden Bangles
You’ll need:
- Unfinished wooden bangles (Available online from Amazon, Walmart, or Etsy)
- Acrylic paint
- Mod Podge
Help your child choose complementary colors, then encourage him or her to use short brush strokes to cover the entire surface with paint. You can also paint the bangle a light color all over, then use your child’s fingerprints to make “polka-dots” or another patter.
Once paint is dry, apply a layer of Mod Podge to seal and protect the bangle.
