Mother's Day

Mother's Week Recap

I had a lot of fun drawing these ‘Mother’s Day’ cards this week. I also spent a good deal of time customizing the cards so they are funny, thoughtful and speak just the right thing to a Mother.


If you like the Napkins and The Napkin Dad Daily, now would be the perfect time to show it by making a purchase of one or more of these for a mother you know.

Mother's Day

Fathers and Mothers

Day #5 of Mother’s Week.  Don’t forget, you now have FIVE different napkin drawings to choose from for the Mother’s Day present you are going to eventually get for your mother (or suggest to your children and husband to get for you!)  Why not make it more unique than a Hallmark card, make it a Napkin Dad card or cup!
FATHERS AND MOTHERS

I very rarely have to start over on napkins.  Today I started FOUR times before I got it right. I am glad I did, it’s a favorite of mine now.

I love my wife, Linda, and I understand it is a great example and gift I can give my children to love her, even if they are grown adults.  It might seem most important in regards to my step-daughter, Caitlin, since she is the actual offspring of Linda, but in truth, all my daughters watch to see how I work on the relationship.

I am not a guy who obsesses about things I regret, but I do wish I had understood and acted on this more completely when I was married to my first wife.

An Ounce of Mother – Mother's Day #3
Whether it’s confession, absolution, forgiveness or advice, moms pretty much have it over Priests or anyone else for that matter.  Father’s can be pretty good at it too!

Jewish Proverbs, Mother's Day

God Could Not Be Everywhere

Day #2 of MOTHER’S WEEK at the NDD – time to think about what you are going to get for yours (or what you are going to suggest to your children to get for you) for Mother’s Day. It’s less than 3 weeks away.  The Napkin Dad has great stuff available at Zazzle.com.  Some are Mother’s Day oriented some are just good messages you know she would love to get.

The front of the card has the mom missing from the image and says “Mom, I have had a religious realization and i wanted you to know about it”.  The inside of the card has the drawing with the mother as you see above.
Ask any mother, whether with one kid or 10, what life is like and they will all say they wish they had as many arms as the mother in the drawing does!  Most of the mom’s I know actually do have this many arms, but all but two of them stretch out from her heart, not her body.
