What We Really Want for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is a moment to recognize ourselves while we celebrate just being together with our families. We love flowers from the garden and scribbley drawings. And if someone happens to ask what else we really want for Mother’s Day, being moms, we’ve started a list.

On Mother’s Day we’d like to:

1. Lie down for at least 30 minutes, then read the paper or a book while drinking a cup of tea with honey.

2. Take a walk.

3. Appreciate and perhaps be appreciated for the fact that it is so much work.

4. Stay in the moment.

5. Listen more to our hearts and less to the thoughts hovering in our heads.

Happy Mother’s Day!

How do you deal with a 3 year old who shows a strong preference for their dad, even though (or perhaps because) mom is the primary caregiver? More
