Happy Mother's Day!
Mother's Day is a special time to show how much we love and appreciate our Moms and Mother-like figures!
From drying tears to creating unforgettable memories, we love and thank everyone who takes on a motherly role!
Although Odette misses her own Mother, she will enjoy the day with Alise and celebrate the love and joy that comes from being a Mom!
Queen Uberta has organized a Mother's Day Ball for the Kingdom - little does she know that Prince Derek plans to unveil her present when the guests have arrived - a beautiful painting of them both!
Times have certainly changed since Alise came into the royal household - it only seems like yesterday when Odette and Derek's daughter was introduced to the Kingdom - so days such as these are important reminders to enjoy time with your family as much as possible!

This month we are celebrating the birthday of the regal King William. This makes his zodiac sign Taurus and his birthstone the emerald.
Taurus people are reliable and down-to-earth. They are very stubborn and love set patterns in life. They make loyal friends as they are wonderful at staying the course of life's ups and downs to be forever supportive of those they love.
Taurus love all things romantic and will throw themselves into finding true love for themselves and others (even if that means making your daughter spend summers with the prince you think is 'the one').
Taurus are loving and soothing to be around, this makes them great parents especially for young children.
They have very strong opinions and tend to stick to them. While this makes them passionate it can also make them seem unadventurous or close-minded.
The emerald symbolizes balance, growth, peace, and foresight. King William certainly showed great foresight in his choice of match for Odette!
We think this sounds just like King William! Is your birthday in May or do you just love the color green?
