How Husbands Can Honor and Celebrate Their Wives This Mother’s Day

Wesley Boston here. This Mother’s Day is a special one for my family- it’s the first one where my wife is a mother! Naturally I almost forgot that I needed to do something for her. After all, my entire life I only ever had to worry about my mom on Mother’s Day! But my wife deserves to be honored this Sunday. Despite being a mom for only 4 months, she has given it her all and worked so hard to do her best. But that begs the question- what do I as a dad do for my wife on Mother’s Day?

It’s important to show our wives that we love them and appreciate all they do, not just for our kids but us as well! So guys, let’s make sure we do something that communicates that. Fortunately, the simple things can be powerful conveyors. All Pro Dad compiled lists of ideas, which we shared on the Morning Thing today. There’s something here for all dads, whether their kids are still in the house or not and regardless of their wives’ preferred love languages. Check out the lists HERE and HERE, and be sure to celebrate your wife this Sunday!

A Laugh for Your Day: Funny Stories about the Things Moms Say and Do

Moms do so much for us. They feed us, clothe us, educate us, protect us… and make us laugh. Sometimes those laughs are intentional, other times, well, not so much.

Today on the Morning Thing we shared stories compiled by Reader’s Digest that celebrate the humor that moms bring into our lives. In some stories this humor is brought about through wit and others through cluelessness that was almost certainly brought on by the exhaustion of raising kids. You can read the entire collection HERE.

Join the Morning Thing each day this week as we celebrate moms in different ways each morning. And don’t forget about Mom’s Night Out this Friday! You can still get signed up HERE.
