How to Use The FACEOFF CLOTH for KIDS:

I hope that all of you had a nice Mother’s Day!

I ended up spending time with my parents and in laws, and my kids got to play with their cousins. Sadly, I did not sit by myself and drink mimosas, but my kids did give me extra kisses and hugs. You can’t beat that.

It is Mother’s Day Weekend! Before I get to the Happy Stuff, I am asking everyone to please say a few prayers for three families that are/were members of this group.

This is also the first Mother’s Day that Jennifer Neville-Lake will be spending without her kids. Although her kids are not with you, it does not take her title of Mom away. You are an incredible person and a wonderful Mother!

Please send your prayers …
