Flowers for you

On Sunday, my family and I will head to our Mother’s Day tradition: In-N’-Out Burger. Don’t laugh! It started three years ago when I had a terrible cold/flu one Mother’s Day weekend and all I wanted was a burger. So my kids and husband agreed to In-N’-Out Burger for our Mother’s Day meal. We’ve done it ever since.

This weekend, even my mother-in-law has agreed to join us for our tradition. It’s quirky, I know. But it is so us!
So Happy Mother’s Day to all the women I know who: make breakfast every morning, gather up backpacks before running out the door or to the bus, make weekly trips (or sometimes daily) to the grocery store, balance the family’s books, fold the clothes, ensure there is food in the refrigerator, mend boo-boos, cuddle kids back to sleep at night, make sure homework gets done, know when to just listen and kiss, and enjoy a good Disney flick when they see it (”Bolt” anyone?). Hats off to you for all you do!
