Why My Fifteenth Mother’s Day Was The Best One Ever

May 12, 2020 by not your average mom 4 Comments

I had the best Mother’s Day I’ve had since becoming a mother this past Sunday. It wasn’t because I received any gifts. In fact, I didn’t receive any gifts at all this year. I did get one handmade card from Number 5. And Number 5, 6 and 7 made me breakfast in bed with some […]

Yesterday was Mother’s Day, and Facebook was flooded with pictures of people with their moms.
