There are a lot of great #steemmoms,
and their hard work often goes unnoticed. This is the start of a new post series to spread some love around to all of the great parents we have here. Mondays will be for mothers, and Fridays for fathers. We will mostly be pulling these posts from the #steemmoms and #steemdads tags, so we encourage all parents to share their stories on these tags.
When school ends for the year, and your children are home for summer break, how do you keep them busy and learning? 
Watching your children learn new things is a great experience. Seeing them use their imagination in new ways can be rewarding for both parties. 
Sometimes, parenthood doesn't begin with child birth. Some people have so much love in their hearts that they take on the amazing responsibility of adopting children who need caring homes. 
Parenting can come with great rewards, but can also make the stresses of life seem overwhelming. 
The first SteemParents challenge has almost ended, but there's still time to enter! Let us know your favorite thing about parenting! A big thanks to 
@sgnsteems and 
@inkdncurvy, who have already submitted entries!
We're still looking for donations to our cause. If you want to help support our curation effort, you can send donations directly or even delegate steempower to 
~All donors will be added to a list, and your support will not be forgotten.~
A portion of the liquid reward for this post will be shared with the #steemmoms featured within.
