Following are some resources that moms (and maybe dads too, if you don’t mind a little bit of sappiness) might enjoy.

- Anna Quindlen’s piece On Motherhood
- Love Letter to a College Freshman, full of good advice
- Katrina Kenison’s The Gift of an Ordinary Day You Tube video, a reading from her book of the same name
