Twenty years ago, moments after I gave birth to my first child, I told my mom 'I must be going to heaven for this'. Her response, said with a smile, was "All Moms Go To Heaven!"

Somehow that sentiment stuck - and over the years it became a funny joke we shared when we would see a mom with a stroller full of crying kids, hearing of sleepless nights, the worrying about their kids - and all that goes with motherhood.

Then a few years ago, a friend's daughter was in an automobile accident. And my friend blamed herself, even though she could not have done anything to prevent it - something many moms do. She started with "I should have...", and then "I shouldn't have..." feeling like a terrible mom. Then she said "didn't you tell me All Moms Go To Heaven?" as if to feel a little better.

At that moment I decided that I would create a venue - and a symbol that honors moms & motherhood each and every day, and make it easy for kids of all ages to show mom their appreciation and love.

I know for sure that it's about time that the job of Motherhood was recognized as the praiseworthy and important job that it is!

Do all moms really go to heaven? Every woman who has gone through labor, then walked the floor with a crying infant goes to heaven.  If you have gone to the grocery store with baby spit stains on your shirt, if you have started to lactate in said grocery store, if you have ever walked through the produce section with two wet spots on the front of your shirt—you go to heaven.  If you have bandaged a knee, read a bed time story or got out glitter and glue for your child, you are already there.

 I’m a Mom and sometimes I yell at my kids.  Will I still go to heaven?  Very Good!  Sometimes you need to put a little fear of mama into your child.  If you are yelling, that means you are paying attention to what they are doing.  You can’t gently say to a child, “Do not put the fork into the socket honey” with the same amount of emphasis as a yell.

My mom forgot to pick me up from school once when I was 10, and now she won’t do my homework for me. Is she going to heaven?  Oh honey, that is horrible that your mother forgot to pick you up from school.  I am sure you were very scared, and I am sure you mother felt very bad about it.  However, she still gets to go to heaven because she has cleaned up all of your body fluids that you have trailed since you were an infant.  As far asking your mother to do your homework:  shame on you!  That would be considered cheating, and it is obvious you have a good mother who is teaching you the value of hard work and perseverance.
