Keep Strong and Pray On

As we've mentioned here before, I'm a bit addicted to the remodeling blogs.  As I've perused them lately, I have noticed a whole lot of people are using a certain poster in their decorating.  According to Wikipedia, the poster originated in World War II time to keep up the morale of the British people in case of an invasion, a message from the king to his people.  Here's the poster:

If you keep an eye out, you find it everywhere.  In comes in every color under the sun, and is even  tweaked for every occasion, such as "Keep Calm and Turkey On" (for Thanksgiving, with a little turkey image at the top) or "Keep Calm and Rock On" (with crossed guitar images for the musicians out there).  There's ones that tweak the saying even more, for example one that has the phrase "Now Panic and Freak Out" (with the crown upside down on that one). 

This afternoon I was inspired to make my own version.  Here it is:

Good advice, eh?

Motherhood

Here's a little shout out to all you mothers for Mother's Day...

First, a funny conversation I read about on Facebook.  A child is bothered because every day he has to get his own yogurt and bowl.  He thinks this is NOT FAIR and complains to his mother about it.  His mother says, "Well, just stop and think of all the things that I do for our family."  After a long pause the child the child replies, "Wow.  It's almost like you're a slave."

And second, a little musical entertainment for your viewing pleasure: 

In other Mother News, today is my first born's 21st birthday!  Happy Birthday to my one and only adorable daughter!  Thanks for being the one that introduced me to Motherhood!

And Happy Mother's Day to the rest of you Mothers out there!  It's tough, but know we're doing the greatest job on earth!  

 “There is no greater good in all the world than motherhood.

The influence of a mother in the lives of her children

is beyond calculation.”
