“A mother’s love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dates all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path.” – Agatha Christie
I love spending a holiday celebrating the many wonderful mothers in my life, especially my own. Motherhood is overwhelming, amazing, exhausting and thrilling all at the same time. There is nothing quite like it! Becoming a mother, myself has made me even more grateful for mine. Not only did she raise me with an abundance of love and grace, she has made me someone who is sure of and happy with myself, and she did it all with a good sense of humor. Being a mother now I realize how hard it can be to raise children, and I try to remind mine to be “brave, honest, and kind” every day. I hope my mother knows how grateful I am on mother’s day, and every day. I put together a few gift guides to help you celebrate the special mothers in your life.
