The article below has been featured on the FLORIDA EDUCATION ASSOCIATION (FEA) WEBSITE FOR MAY AND JUNE 2007:
Happy Mothers and Fathers Day CardsGiving this beautiful Happy Mothering Day card or beautiful Happy Fathering Day card available on our Website(www.happymotheringday.com), clearly expresses to the new caregiver, be it a grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin, step-mother, step-father, the child's appreciation for the mothering or fathering that person has given to them. Additionally, these cards allow children with natural mothers and natural fathers to do the same and to now honor them for the hard work they do in their mothering and fathering. Almost anyone can be a mother or father, but it is the mothering and fathering that they provide that is what is appreciated.

Purchase one of the two cards offered here and a portion of the proceeds will be given to the largest, non-profit children's charity in the world called "the ELIZABETH GLASER PEDIATRIC AIDS FOUNDATION" (EGPAF). One card is a trademarked pending addition to saying Happy Mothers Day to natural mothers by recognizing them for the hard work they do by the mothering they give(Happy Mothering Day)tm. The other card is a trademarked addition to saying Happy Fathers Day to natural fathers by recognizing them for the hard work they do by the fathering they give (Happy Fathering Day)tm. LET US HONOR NATURAL MOTHERS AND FATHERS FOR THEIR MOTHERING AND FATHERING NOT JUST FOR A NAME OF MOTHER OR FATHER. These cards are for ALL CHILDREN which are those from both traditional and non-traditional homes. So many cards are bought each year for these holidays, so let us help children keep these proceeds funneled back in to children's charities and out of the hands of big business. This is about adults helping children to help children. Next year more varieties of cards should be available on this website, but for now the goal is to teach the children, through these cards and as soon as possible, about this most positive and honoring addition.
TEACHERS (the backbone of our society) should particulary like to have their students purchase these cards prior to the Mothers Day and Fathers Day holidays and introduce the chidren to this new addition. Since only about 28 percent of the homes in this country are traditional homes that have both a natural mother and natural father, there are 72 percent of the homes that do not. This means there are many children who do not have cards to buy for these holidays that express their appreciation for the mothering and fathering that they have been given by another person such as a step-father, step-mother, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, cousin, friend, or foster parent, to name a few. These people who work hard everyday giving mothering and fathering to others deserve a special line of cars. Be a part of what will almost certainly be history in the making. Allow all children from traditional homes to honor their natural mother and natural father for the hard work that they do.

A School Psychologist licensed in the State of Florida has said that having this new and trademarked line of cards should enhance the self-esteem of the children from the 72 percent of homes in this country that are non-traditional(do not have both a natural mother and natural father). By raising the self- esteem of children, their behavior will most likely improve in our schools, there may be less bullying, it is possible that there may even be a drop in the suicide rate among children and children will certainly gain an appreciation for charitable giving. For the wonderful and fortunate children from traditional homes who have both a natural mother and natural father, they will now be able to give a card on the Mothers Day and fathers Day holiday that honors their natural mother and natural father for the hard work that they do in their mothering (care when sick, driving to school or games, etc.) and fathering and not just for a name. Anyone can be a mother or father, but it is only those mothers and fathers that give wonderful mothering and fathering that deserve to be honored and recognized for their hard work.
Shown above is the Happy Fathering Day card and it is on a light, blue backgroud. It comes with a beautiful, blue DESIGNER envelope. CLICK ON THE PICTURE FOR A LARGER IMAGE. SEE BELOW FOR The Happy Mothering Day Card which is on a light, pink background with a beautiful, pink DESIGNER envelope.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEAUTIFUL POEM:
HAPPY MOTHERING DAYtm AND HAPPY FATHERING DAYtm
Mothers Day and Fathers Day as it approaches for many
Brings anxiety and sorry for those who lost them if any
Why would a world want to be so cruel
As to keep this focus and make it to be their rule
I feel the most beautiful thing in his world that we know
Is the love and comfort that our fathers and mothers do show
But to lose one or the other for whatever reason may abound
Can turn even the most grounded person inside out and upside down
Let us think of those less fortunate than we
And expand the focus for all to participate and be
Cruel and unusual punishment it seems to height
To discriminate against those without them is not right
Let us open our hearts and minds to change with the times
To ehnance these days of honoring for all and for all time
Happy Mothering Daytm and Happy Fathering Daytm does bring
A happiness and inclusiveness that all can sing
Let the children be able to choose
A card to honor those who give mothering and fathering and let them not lose
Thank you to the grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt, step-mother and step-father, cousin to name a few
Who give the mothering and fathering to some and help them feel renewed
This honors our biological and adopted mothers and fathers as well
As it is not the name that brings joy in us to a swell
It is the mothering and fathering that they do provide
Let us honor them all for what they do and bring to them their deserved pride
