Appreciation Fits Mom to a T(ea)

Have you ever been to, or planned, a Tea for Moms?  I have attended some wonderful Teas over the years.  One of my friends, Sally, a mom to 13 children and a Homeschooler herself, has hosted Appreciation Teas for Homeschoolers for many years, where moms are encouraged and made to feel appreciated for what they are doing.  We, as mothers, have a deep need to know that we're appreciated, it seems.  We don't mind doing all those things for our family--but we want to know that our husbands and children notice and are grateful!

Alicia, at Joy in the Everyday, shared on her blog about a Tea that she attended, with one very special element, which thrilled me.  At the end of a wonderful evening together, each of the moms was asked to see the co-leader before leaving, and received a special letter written by her husband, expressing his thanks and appreciation.  Who would not treasure this kind of letter forever?!  Because this idea blessed me so much, I am going to try to implement it somehow to bless the moms I know.  Maybe we could contact the dads in our church, have them write a short note to their wife, and hand them out on Mothers Day?  Do you think it's a good idea?
