Mothers Day 2021

I love that we take a day each year to celebrate Moms. I am one of those people who was incredibly blessed to become best friends with my Mom as an adult.

I do have some great childhood memories but my favorite are the grownup talks (and sometimes tears) over coffee, watching her make memories with her grandkids, doing DIY home projects, and collaborating on new recipes. She’s amazing.

So it also means today involves a wide array of emotions. I miss her. It’s the 4th one without her. The deep gratitude and long list of hilarious memories is mixed up with the realization of moments that we won’t be able to experience together.

So hug your Mom tight today if you can. If she lives far away, call her and have a long conversation about any random thing. Share some funny memories. And if you don’t have a relationship with your Mom, do something about that if you can.

Being a Mom is hard. And the most wonderful. It changes everything. Celebrate all the Moms around you! They need a little extra love now and then. ❤️

Miss you Mom. ❤️🤟🏽
