MoM’s Got Ya, This Month and Every Month…and Forever
May is coming and May is Mothers’ Month. What do we make of this month of observances at the Museum of Motherhood? Years ago, just over one-hundred years, Mother’s Day was voted into legislation as a national day of observance. On May 8, 1914, the U.S. Congress designated the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day requesting a proclamation which Woodrow Wilson signed into law. At the Museum of Motherhood we have lots of activities planned beginning with MaMaPaLooZa on May 4th at The Factory in St Pete.
#GivingTuesday: Mothers Give Everyday: what Rosalynn Carter said about caregiving

From birth on, the person who both gave us life and also the person who often sees to our care and upbringing are forever linked through body, mind, and psyche to the one’s whom they are connected.
