Mother’s Day is special to me because I love my mom very much and also because I am so blessed to be a mommy now, too. Let’s face it…moms are awesome. I grew up with the “cool mom” who all my friends just loved. She is a great cook, a wonderful singer, an artist, a strong lady, and is sharp as a tack. I love you mommy!
Which brings us to the giveaway. I am excited to be hosting my very first giveaway. I am giving away a $10 gift card to Starbucks. Ideally it would be a gift for a mom to use for a drink and a treat (you, your mom, your mother-in-law, whoever). The contest opens today and ends on Sunday, May 1. The entry period is short, but I want to be sure I can get the card to the winner before Mother’s Day. I will announce the winner on Monday morning.
Here is how to enter the giveaway!

Thanks! So enter and tell us about your mom. Share and let’s talk about it.
About Janice
I like Celebrating Family on Facebook with my username Mary Happymommy. I remember my mother working a full time job and going to college at night, which doesn't sound all that remarkable except that she was a single mom to 2 kids and she was an immigrant who learned to communicate by carrying around a Spanish to English dictionary.

I liked Celebrating Family on Facebook and posted: My favorite memory of my mom is when she worked 3 minimum wage jobs to support us 8 kids the best she could when my father abandon us until she graduated from Nursing school.
My favorite memory of my mom was all the nights she would rub my back when I was sick. It's a silly little thing, but it meant so much.

I like you on FB. My fav mom memory is when I became a mommy myself and figured out how much my mom did for my sister & me! She was right about pretty much everything, and I know now that she was doing the best she could for us.
My mom is always there for me when I need her.

My dream is to be a great mother like my mom and sister.
I love to follow your blog so much I put a link to your blog on my Facebook.
My mom always made us laugh and smile. She also would give us anything she could or anything we wanted. She was an amazing woman with what she had to work with, and I will forever hold her true and golden in my heart.

And one of my fond memories of my mother are watching her make our clothes , she would let us pick the pattern ,then she would buy it and sew the design on her sewing machine . My mom was a single mom supporting 5 kids and buying clothes was way to expensive.

I Like Celebrating Family on Facebook as Emm Enger & one of my favorite cherished memories is the time I went to visit her for Christmas and she had made a Christmas tree etched in the new fallen snow on her porch, it was so precious as she was elderly but still had the heart of a youngster
