what exactly is a mother's helper? Sounds wonderful!!
In Tennessee they used to have a "mother's helper" that they gave the children on wash day. That little elixir kept them very docile and quiet - always wondered if it was just moonshine!
Sorry, Deb, I forgot to get back to you!
A mother's helper is a young lady who comes in a regular or semi-regular basis, and helps - with housework,childcare, etc. It's generally a tween or a young teen. Here's a link that explains it more thoroughly: http://childcare.about.com/od/inhomecareglossary/f/motherhelper.htm
