Gifts for May

Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,

But only one mother the wide world over.

Scenes from my mama journal ...

Exploring His Creation in May ~ Did you get up early enough to see the meteor showers on April 22nd?  If not, check out these snapshots of God's wonder light show!  And why not keep eyeing the skies this month using these Sky Maps to guide you? 

Poetry in May ~ Surrounding you mamas with beautiful words this month:  A Prayer for This House by Louis Untermeyer to maybe print off and hang on the wall?  And for those who spotted this post on Facebook, The Power of a Parent's Words, and it made the heart twinge and the head nod in affirmation, then Her Words by Anna Hempstead Branch may be a sweet read for you this month.  

Inspiration for Moms in May ~ Inspired to Action is consistent in bringing practical tips and useful resources to this mama's inbox.  Mom Heart Online also provides daily reads to encourage and spur us on in this motherhood journey that we all are walking through.  And yes, these free printables to encourage on the hard days!?

Making a Memory in May ~ This video on how to make framed silhouettes is perfect for helping to make a keepsake this month. And this mommy and me journal is a sweet idea to start sharing with your child once he is ready to read and write!

May your month be filled with much momminess and sweet memories! ~ Jessica
