Talking to You: Happy Mothers Day

On Sunday, May 11th, mothers across the country will be honored with special breakfasts, flowers, cards, and other treats as families say thank you for the special love that only a mom can provide to her family. While moms play a major role in their own family, they also play an important role in our Cultural Care Au Pair family as well.

Mother’s Day is celebrated at different times throughout the world and in different ways, so sending out this kind of message can be a great way to share an aspect of American culture and tradition with them. The history of Mother’s Day can be found on the following Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother.

Here are some great websites for the au pairs to check out to help them come up with some crafty ways to help their host children honor their mommy in celebration of Mother’s Day:
