Growing up, my mom always HATED Mother's Day. She thought it was ridiculous and over-commercialized, so we were instructed to abhor it and ignore it. Then there was the year she changed her mind without telling us, and got really angry that we didn't get her anything... Whoops?

You've probably got a lot of mothers in your life to think about - your mother, your children's godmothers, aunts or close friends who are like mothers to you/your children, maybe you're even in charge of buying yourself a Mother's Day gift (no shame, some of us would rather shop for ourselves and let our husbands know how thoughtful they were). If you're looking for ideas, here's a wide variety to inspire you! Some are Amazon-prime-able, some are from my favorite artisan friends who are so blessed by your support when you purchase from their small shops, and (if you order now) all should arrive in time for Mother's Day gifting!

My Sunday Best, Vol. 2: Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! Happy Sunday! Happy Ascension-Observed (in most dioceses in the US)!

This can be a hard holiday for many - my sister nailed it in a post a couple of years ago, which you should probably go ahead and share with all your friends who are women:

Happy Mother’s Day to mothers who’ve lost children, to mothers who haven’t yet begotten children, to mothers who ache over their empty arms and mothers whose arms sometimes seem too full... 

If you are a woman, you are a mother. Happy Mother’s Day to you.

Read the rest here.

As a Mother's Day gift to me, Peter slept through the night! Like, all the way until 6 am without needing ANYONE! It's a miracle!
