Some time for Mom on Family Fun Friday

Have you been thinking about Mother’s Day?  The last few Mother’s Days my husband has had to work so I didn’t get any “time off.”  Instead, we celebrate Mother’s Day by doing something fun as a family.  I would love some time to be pampered though and was drawn to articles that appealed to me as a mom from last week’s Family Fun Friday link party.

Kayse Pratt linked up 10 meaningful Mother’s Day Gifts ideas.  I would love any one of these!

How cute and practical are these Mother’s Day Popup cards with chores!

Laura Sue Shaw is one of my favorites.  I loved her you can have a balanced life and her post on how to make your home more relaxing.  I need help in both those areas.

I liked this article from Spoons of Grace because it applies to housework, work from home, or work away from home.  Work: The struggle is real.

This piece called Marching to my Own Drummer made me smile because it is something I do too.  I like the bird card too! Cute.

I hope you’ll go and check out these wonderful posts and I thank each blogger for linking up with us on Family Fun Friday!

Onto the Link Party!

Family Fun Friday is a weekly link party where bloggers share their family oriented crafts, recipes, thoughts, homeschool tips and activities.  Each week each co-host picks SIX features!  Link up your best posts for the chance of being featured on five blogs.  We have a great community here at Family Fun Friday with over 200 posts linked up each week.  Moms take a minute to surf around and see what is linked.  I’m sure you’ll find something fabulous.
