    Quotables May 8-14: Mother Dearest

    Quotables May 8-14: Mother Dearest

    By Meredith Hirt

    Join us on Fridays for Quotables, everything that caught our eye this week on the web. This week, we take a look at the sometimes unsung heroes of our world—mothers. It's not just on Mother's Day that they are extra special!

     
    It's the kids' first day back at school after vacation and they came home bearing gifts. I love that I have a new potholder to replace the one Jack caught on fire, and that my hugs feel like a marshmallow. 

    Here's to all the mothers who are "better than Captain America."

     

     

    It's strange how we celebrate moms for taking care of people with something else to take care of -- flowers. "Here. Keep this from dying."

    At least you don't have to change their diapers.

    "Happy Mother’s Day to mothers of all shapes, sizes, and species! Today’s Doodle represents the universality of familial love. " — Olivia Huynh, designer of Google's Mother's Day doodle

    "I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them."
    —Phyllis Diller

    Fair trade.

     

     

    Now I know why my son's book bag was so heavy!

    Learn something new every day! #momofboys

    Logical conclusion.

     

     

    Elizabeth Stone quote
    "Making the decision to have a child—it's momentous. It is to decide forever your heart go walking around outside your body." — Elizabeth Stone (via Pinterest)

    Amen.
