Celebrating Stepmom Day
Stepmother day is the Sunday after Mother’s Day. Seeing as I did not have a Mother’s Day at all this year, instead of just Celebrating Stepmom Day, I am declaring the whole weekend as Stepmom weekend. This means that I can look forward to breakfast in bed and minions to order around the whole weekend.
I’m planning on watching some soppy movies and Dad will handle all fights, requests, homework and silly nonsense. That’s the plan anyway, we’ll see if I’m hopelessly optimistic.
My kids complained about finding a great card to give to their Stepmom so here’s a few ideas.
Stepmom’s are fearless:
Stepmom’s do all sorts of things without expecting credit.
Stepmom’s are parents too.
Stepmom’s are proud of you.
Stepmom’s love you anyway.
Stepmom’s are superheroes.
Hope you celebrate the Stepmom’s in your life and that you appreciate all the love that they give you. It is time that we move away from the warped Disney evil Stepmom and acknowledge that most of us are ordinary woman doing the best we can.

So true. All mothers who do their best need to be appreciated for what they give, because it is a whole lot. The best mother is the kind that gives the best of herself.
I hope that you will have a great weekend as planned! Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board.

Aw man! I didn’t even know this existed! I’m so bummed I missed it – being a stepmom has been both the most awesome and the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. I wouldn’t trade it for anything – love my boys!

I’m not a step mom, so I had no idea that this day even existed! My best friend, however, is the most amazing “step mom” I have ever met. I hope that I can remember this next year to honor her properly!

Great post! I’m not a step mom but I have a lady in my life that is the same thing as one. She came just a few years ago and yes I am into my 30’s. She doesn’t know she’s such a beacon of light in my family. My dad and I have a rough relationship but she’s awesome in so many ways. <3 Stepmoms are Super Heroes!

Thank you for sharing at Waiting on…Wednesday! Step-parents are absolutely portrayed in a negative light but I have seen so many that love their kids as if they were their own. Happy Stepmom’s Day!

I love this! My mom has been married to my stepdad since I was little. He’s just like another dad to me. Both of my dads are going to walk me down the aisle when I get married.
And my dad was remarried briefly and I LOVED my stepmom too! I hate that movies like to portray stepmothers as ‘wicked.’

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you are having a good blended family experience. It is nice your kids thought about getting their step mom a card!
