?s voice a my foreman-plaisance publisher/editor in chief a s a mother, you have major influence when it comes to your family and your community. mothers
are recognized by major corporations as one of the most powerful and knowledgeable of all demographic groups. ?the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world,? is a poem written years ago by william ross wallace. i have always believed that as moms, we have wisdom to share our thoughts and feelings with our children
. the word says, ?your children will rise up and call you blessed.? a recent factoid came across my desk last week which said that what mothers would most like for mother?s day is an extra hour of sleep. maybe so, but what i think mothers and families need even more is flexibility. being a mom to three children was such an engulfing, transforming experience for me. i can?t imagine my life without them. it staggers me to realize how each day would have been so different. i am not sure ?who? i would be right now if i had not had children. i wouldn?t have been publishing this magazine for the past 29 years, that?s for sure. my children shaped my ideas of who i was and who i wanted to become. they taught me more than they will ever know. sometimes, i would look at my own mother; i would spend a few brief moments glancing forward to the years in the future when i would be a grandmother. i am there now, a mimi, in the grandest style. mothers, your children need your love, and what you do is profound to their development. you mean the world to them, even when they don?t act like it. this mother?s day, as i celebrate my good fortune at being a mother, a stepmother, a mother-in-law, and mimi, i extend my prayers and support to all of the mothers out there?and yes, some shut eye. happy mother?s day, time for mothers have ideas? i'd like to hear from you. by mail: amy p., 11831 wentling ave., baton rouge, la 70816 email: amy@brparents.com. be sure to include your name, address, and daytime phone number. 1 2 b r p a r e n t s . c o m | m a y 2 0 1 9
