the last door down the hall: mother's

Wonderful picture of Mother and Child

What a darling photograph

Beautiful mother and pouty child

Quite a brood!

Mother and son. Love her hat!

Today I am posting some Mother and child and Mother and children photographs for you. I thought with Mother's Day approaching this weekend they would be very appropriate.

I happen to love these type of photographs. They show so much love. In many you can see the struggles these mother's have keeping the children together, clean, dressed and fed. The love still seems to shine through.

I am also reminded that Mother's are so important to the general health of the family. A good mother makes a healthy family. I am especially lucky to have a wonderful mother. I also had a very fantastic grandmother. Today we have many children being raised by their grandmothers. I think these "mothers" should also be recognized for their sacrifice and love. Please take the time to recognize these very special ladies in your family.

I have been lost in the midst of spring cleaning, organizing, throwing out, and donating this past week. It is exhausting but necessary. Everything else in my life has been on the back burner. Any way...This week I am giving you two sets of Freebies. I figure we should celebrate Mother's Day someway. I am very fortunate in that I have a wonderful Mother. We have always had a great relationship. The older I get the more I realize just how lucky I have been. What a gift I was given.

So, these are my gift to you. Cherish your children, thank your mother and grandmother, remember those who have passed on, and those who are mothers, give yourself a little pat on the back.

I had to start these freebies with a Mother and son. Having been blessed with five boys I have a tender place in my heart for these type of pictures. This little one is so well dressed. She looks a bit lost in thought though. Probably going through her to do list.

This Mother has done quite a job getting everyone's hair and clothes organized. I can not imagine making all these clothes on top of everything else.

Now here is a fun one. I love the joy in the little girl, the straight back of the Mother and the unsaid words and look of the grandmother. Such a great photo.

The apple does not fall too far from the tree here. I love the dark outfit with the trim on it of the little girl.

I love little bald babies they are so sweet. This child has great eyes and eye brows. So defined. The pair is quite beautiful.

Transporting the little ones is always important. This young mother looks like she has lost quite a bit of weight. Her child is so sweet with the bonnet on. Great carriage!
