It’s often been said that motherhood is the most difficult job in the world. Indeed, there is no task more challenging than caring for the emotional, physical, and mental health of another human being. Too often, all of this hard work leaves mom feeling tired at best, and inadequate at worst. This Mother’s Day, we want to remind mom how strong she is. So we created weekly positive affirmations just for her. Each week features an optimistic mantra or inspiring quote to lift her spirits. Easy to print and assemble, this collection of affirmations makes the perfect gift on May 14th.
