lindagarcia+FollowMother’s Day Magic—No Planning Needed!Mother’s Day snuck up on you? Same! But you don’t need a fancy plan to make her feel special.

dianahicks+FollowMother’s Day: More Than Just FlowersDid you know Mother’s Day started as a peace movement? Before it became all about flowers and gifts, it was about moms uniting for empathy and world peace. Anna Jarvis made it official in 1914, but Julia Ward Howe wanted it to be a day for mothers to promote unity after war. Now, it’s a billion-dollar holiday, but what if we brought back the OG vibe—moms leading the way to a kinder world? Imagine Mother’s Day as a day for real change, not just carnations! #MothersDay #PeaceMakers #Empathy #History #FamilyLove #MomsForChange #Culture21Share
leslieedwards+FollowThe Healing Power of a Simple Hug in ParentingThere are days when words just aren’t enough. I remember one evening when my child came home, shoulders slumped and eyes downcast. No explanation, just a quiet sadness. Instead of asking questions, I opened my arms and pulled them close. In that silent embrace, I could feel the tension melt away. Sometimes, what our kids need most isn’t advice or solutions—it’s the comfort of knowing they’re safe and loved. A simple cuddle can speak volumes when words fall short. It’s a gentle reminder that, no matter what, we’re always here for them. Have you ever found that a hug made all the difference for your child?
