This could be a perfect Mother's Day gift for a homeschool mom who continually gets her crayons stolen even when she had given directions not to use her personal crayons and then she gets them back they are broken and not pointy any more...and don't forget the torn paper....

I digress.

Anyway, this would make a cool gift for mom or any one! There are special boxes for Mother's Day, Father's Day, Teachers, Birthdays, Weddings, and more!

And you can choose various sets of crayons...you could even fill the whole box with one color if you want!! You then can have a personal message printed on the bottom of the box. 

You can get them in 8ct, 64ct or ginormous art box.

Go check them out!

Betsy Day---a sweet remnant from my infertility

Mother's Day was always a challenge before we adopted mija. I shared about some of my experience in my Non-Mother's Day article for Home Educating Family Blog last year.

This last Sunday, however, I was blessed to be remembered for Betsy Day which is the Sunday after  Mother's Day.

You see, while dealing with my infertility, my hubby established a new holiday. 

Betsy Day

He said that Mother's Day is the day we honor mother's, and Betsy Day is the day he honors Betsy.

(Yes, massive brownie points were scored!)

It usually consisted of lunch out and a gift.

He said it would continue, but it's just been mostly a pleasant memory.

Until this past Sunday.

My husband came in from work as we were getting ready for church. As he gave me a kiss he said, "Happy Betsy Day." I was so touched that he remembered!

He then let me choose a place to eat lunch after church. For the sake of the finances and family, I chose Cici's Pizza where...

...carrots and dip can be part of a dessert plate. Mija actually left the brownies behind in favor of the carrots!

I had a blessed Betsy Day!

 

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to my super friends!

Non-Mother's Day--I'm posted at Home Educating Family Blog

Please check out my piece at the Home Educating Family Blog. It's about infertility and Mother's Day, and it's really from my heart. You probably know someone who is struggling with infertility even if you may not be aware of it because 1 in 10 women are dealing with it. Add Mother's Day to it, and it can be a hurtful burden to bear. Read my article. Maybe it will give you some ideas on how to help bear another woman's burden.
