Happy Mother's Day! As a mother myself what I've come to enjoy on my special Sunday is breakfast in bed and one stem each of my favorite flowers--a tulip and a tiger lily.

Nothing is better than your child or significant other telling you that you did a good job. So how did the holiday come about? Here's a few facts you may or may not have known about Mother's Day in America and being a mom. Remember you can like Hazelwood Patch on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HazelwoodPatch.
