Mother's Day Favorites

Mother and daughter yoga :)

Happy Mother's Day, blogosphere (hehe--can't write that word without feeling silly!)!

What a wonderful day to stop and appreciate the women who have raised us, taught us, loved us, supported us, and been there for us throughout our lives! I think that it's so important to take the time to let the people that you care about in life know how you feel, and today is a great reminder to do so. For those of you still looking for a last-minute Mother's Day gift, I recommend donating to Women-for-Women International in honor of your mom. Great way to show thanks for your mom while also giving to a mother in need--and they'll send a cute Mother's Day e-card and story about one of the mothers who have benefited from their programs :)

And now for a few of my Mother's Day favorites...

Favorite vintage images of mothers:

Favorite mother & child painting:

Favorite Mother's Day song/video (Disclaimer: I know this is primarily a blog about yoga, art, relaxing, simplifying life, etc., so please keep in mind when viewing the following that this video DOES NOT fit in with the blog's overall theme. If you are easily disturbed, don't watch the video below! I just couldn't help but include it today...):

So YAY for mothers!!! Thank you, Mom, Anita, Nana, Mamama, and Butch, for being such amazing mothers in my life :)

Namaste,
