Happy Mother's Day From NJ Kids

Being a mom takes tremendous patience, strength, stamina and of course, you need some if not a lot of humor. We confront all situations, big and small. Whether you are maneuvering kids through mood swings, dealing with BFF issues, steering them away from trouble, ...or in your car with the chauffeur hat on, navigating where to go...or solving life’s puzzles and mysteries, moms must remain resilient. However, we all experience meltdowns too. It’s a BIG job, and at the end of the day, you often find yourself disheveled. Nevertheless, no matter what you look like, your child goes to sleep at night and still feels and sees the beauty in their mom. This month, enjoy being a mom!
