With all the difficulties that come with carrying, bearing and raising children it's a wonder that women choose to go through it all.
Yet, despite all the trials, mothers all over the world extol the joys of motherhood.
For most women today, being a mother means not only raising your child well but doing it while holding down a full time job.
Women are expected to be full time mothers and full time employees and do both well.
Amazingly, most women are able to juggle work and motherhood quite well, even though it means twice the work.
On the flip side, the situation also means twice the potential for fulfillment.
Women have always faced challenges along with motherhood.
The specific difficulties may change with the times but mothers have always had to be strong, resilient and loving.
Most women become mothers knowing that it won't be easy.
They do so, with the hope that it will be as rewarding as they feel it will be.
Knowing all that they do for us be sure to remember them on their special day, Mother's day, with a gift they will cherish.
Big or small, expensive or inexpensive, it doesn't matter as much as the fact that you are showing you care about them.
It's true just about all women love jewelry.
If you're at a loss for something to get your mom, why not buy her a necklace or a pair of earrings? Women love jewelry because it makes them feel pretty no matter whether how they are feeling about their general appearance.
So, take the time to let your mother know that you love and value her.
Most mothers do the best they can when raising their children and knowing that they are appreciated makes all the difference to them.
