Why should it just be one day? I say Mother’s Day deserves AT LEAST an extra day. So I put together two of my favorite things to help kick off your Mother’s Day a little bit early: great quotes and great photos.
Special thanks to Lisa Mac of Lisa Mac Photography for sending these great shots of moms and kids together. (Click on any of the photos to visit Lisa’s site for more info about her work.)
Be sure to get a photo of you with your kiddos this weekend. And don’t hand us the lame excuses about how much you hate photos of yourself. We’ve heard them and used them all before. Your kids WANT and deserve to see pictures of themselves with the woman who loves them most in this world. So hand the camera to somebody, grab your kids and smile.
