MEET THE EDWARDS FAMILY

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 waiver 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, grandmoms, 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 there’s plenty to celebrate and observe along with Mother's Day, including Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month, Haitian Heritage Month, Jewish-American Heritage Month, Military Appreciation Month, Foster Care Month, Personal History Awareness Month, National Water Safety Month, Hurricane Preparedness Week, Brothers and Sisters Day and Stepmothers Day. This month’s FAMILY TIME holidays and observances will have you getting into the full swing of Spring. This month we’ll share a REUNION TIP for troubled reunions; wellness tips for FAMILY WELLNESS MONTH; quotes about moms that are WORTH REPEATING, and another STICKY REUNION SITUATION. 

This May we’re hoping that all of our “moms” feel cared for, pampered and loved. And that our reunions get back on track. Be safe and stay well.
