May is the month we celebrate Mother's Day and the women who gave us life and/or helped raise us. Motherhood is full of all types of moms and mother/child relationships. Moms have nine months (or so) to prepare for a significant and extreme, hands-on, full-time, life-long, 24/7 experience. Most moms are up to the challenge. Some moms aren't. Others waver in and out of responsibility. We all need help to raise great kids (and keep our sanity).

It really does take a village to raise a child—and to help moms become the best they can be. Mother-figures, adoptive moms, stepmoms, grand-moms, aunties, cousins, siblings, friends, teachers, etc. help bridge gaps and expose us (mom and child alike) to different points of view and ways of doing, being, and working together for the common good of motherhood. This May as we celebrate mothers, let’s remember all the “moms” (biological and not) who have stepped-in to make us all better, those who have lost a child, and the children whose moms are no longer here.

This month’s FAMILY TIME celebrates over 84 holidays and observances to get us into the full swing of Spring including Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, Haitian Heritage Month, and Jewish-American Heritage Month, Armed Forces Day, Renewal Day, Visit Your Relatives Day, Brothers & Sisters Day, Stepmothers Day, Hurricane Preparedness Week, National Water Safety Month, Military Spouse Appreciation Month, Older Americans Month, Recommitment Month, Foster Care Month, Family Wellness Month, and Personal History Awareness Month.

This month’s REUNION TIP is a research project, combining Personal History Awareness Month and Memorial Day to uncover your family’s military history.  And we have wellness tips for FAMILY WELLNESS MONTH; quotes about moms that are WORTH REPEATING, and another STICKY REUNION SITUATION. 

This May I think we all can admit that our world is in need of prayer. So let's do so on the 7th. Let’s pray for our nation, world, families, reunions, ourselves and our moms. Here’s hoping that we all feel seen, cared for and loved. Be safe, stay well and keep planning.
