Mother's Day

All year long, our family meals require some mental gymnastics to ensure that that I prepare at least one item that appeals to each family member – no easy feat with five kids! So I reserve the right to make Mother’s Day all about what I want to eat…

Having two children has given me a greater appreciation for the sacrifices made by mothers that came before me, and it makes me admire the matriarchs in my family even more. Mother’s Day is about honoring those that raised us, taught us right from wrong, sacrificed for us, and sometimes spoiled us just to see a smile on our faces. I know first hand what that smile can do – it makes my world go round, and I would do anything for it.
