Mother’s Day is fast approaching and many moms in the Northeast PA area like to submit their photos for the Scranton Times annual Mother’s Day 2014 edition on May 11. This is such a fun way to document how your children have grown in the past year and I love to relax on Mother’s Day and look through the paper for all of my friends and their kids.
