My first Mother’s Day was simple and perfect. We had brunch for late lunch (thanks again @suziemiaos), video called with family, tried out a new recipe, got chores done, and Tien even got me a card! (Even though @sengsong likely helped a lot with it 😘).

Mother’s Day (and parenthood in general) can be so tricky and I couldn’t word a proper message, so I will borrow one from @shaymitchell:
Happy Mother’s Day to all the new, sleep deprived moms. To all the newish moms who are finally getting their bearings and adjusting to a new normal. To all the moms of multiples. To all the working moms. To all the single moms. To all the moms of rainbow babies. To the moms who have lost children. To those with difficult relationships with theIr moms. To mother figures in the absence of children. To all the women who are moms in their hearts but their bodies aren’t cooperating. To anyone who woke-up this morning with a pang of sadness because they no longer have their mom here. And let’s not forget the moms who are totally content with fur babies, or nothing to take care of at all. Wherever you are in this relationship, celebrate that today.💕”
