Have to agree with you 'special day celebration' after all, you are a mother every day, from the day you gave birth.
No breakfast in bed ever...., horror thinking about the mess I would have had to clear later!
A hug from my sons will suffice, now arrive with a good bottle of wine being older, now know better, I don't do normal... like birthdays when everyone gleefully arrives to remind you, you aging!
When young it was awesome when sons arrived home from school with a little hand drawn card with wish, now that was something to hold on to.
I cherish the memories of my Mom, all the places we enjoyed together, never a special day set aside back then, this is another new marketing ploy along with many others.
Ever noticed how a lot of these holidays end up more work for the people they are meant to be rewarding? :D
This is how it should be.
I like all the handmade stuff - the cards and drawings - Smallsteps loves that part too - so does mum :)
Happy Mother's Day every day!
Those hand drawn cards or letters to Santa when young, I still have a few, really fun to remember the innocence, eagerness in presentation or preparation.
Enjoy that leave you stacked up, worth taking extra time to relax over extended period to fully appreciate.
Have a wonderful new week ahead, hope you succeeded in venture through kitchen with Smallsteps eager little hands helping.
