There may be no better way to start Mother’s Day than serving Mom some breakfast in bed. A homemade meal before Mom even gets out of bed can set the right tone for a day that celebrates all mothers have done and continue to do for their children.

Mother’s Day is celebrated on Sunday, May 12, 2024. Mother’s Day is devoted to expressing love and showering praise on mothers, step-mothers and any other figure in one’s life who has taken on a motherly role.

May is Asthma Awareness Month, an annual effort aimed at improving the lives of people with asthma and educating the broader community about it. It is also a time when people with asthma can experience more symptoms or flareups because of increased triggers in their environment. These triggers may include excess pollen in the air, grass, pollution, other airborne irritants and even temperature changes.

Do you fully understand what your doctor tells you during a checkup? If you don’t, you’re not alone. A recent UnitedHealthcare study found that two out of three people don’t understand all their doctor’s instructions, diagnoses and recommendations.

Today, the day before Mother’s Day, we take a look at just a few of Kansas’ famous mothers. While one is just a symbol, all are symbolic of the strength, courage and determination that mothers across the state and all across the world find inside themselves and teach their children. Thank you to all of the mothers out there for being such incredibly smart, talented, strong, beautiful beings.
