Wishing you a day where no one says "mom" in that particular tone for at least an hour.

You make our home feel like a place worth coming back to, and that's mostly your doing.

Happy Mother's Day to the woman who taught me what showing up actually looks like.

You are the calm during the homework hour and the loud during the dance party. Both versions are loved.

Thank you for being patient with our kids and, frankly, with me too.

Wishing you flowers I picked myself and a card our kids signed without prompting — or close to it.
