Happy Mother's Day!
Whether you are a mom enjoying your own kiddos, celebrating with your own mom, cherishing the memories of your mom, or praying for your mom's to heal from illness or injury, enjoy your Mother's Day. There is nothing quite as special as a mother's love, no matter our age or stage.
Make sure to find time to do the 'Mom Dance!' Just watch my fave, Kid President for inspiration!
