Firstly, I need to acknowledge the hallmark holiday that Mother's Day is. As well as the fact that this is a hard day for many women. I won't sugar coat it. It's a hard day. I know. I've been there.
I also think about J on this day. I don't have any words to express how difficult this day may be for her. "Birthmother" Day is apparently the day before Mother's Day. I wonder why there is a separate day...and who decided this? How is it that a first mom isn't also acknowledged on Mother's Day...after all she IS a mother.
That said, I embraced my very first Mother's Day.
It was delightful.
D got up with baby T so I would be able to sleep in. Of course I didn't, I heard T as well. But lying in bed for an extra 1/2 hour and knowing that I didn't have to get up was lovely. Then D make me belgium waffles with strawberries and vanilla sauce for breakfast...yum!
After breakfast, and a stint outside so D could organize the house, I took part in a treasure hunt which ended with my gift. D did such a great job with clues, some of them were really tricky! My Mother's Day present was this lovely custom necklace. Good on D to remember all my hints after initially seeing this jewelery well before I became a mother!
Then D stayed at home with T while I went out for lunch with my sister (her hubbie also at home with the kids). After enjoying a yummy meal we were treated to a manicure and pedicure. My Mother's Day adventure ended with dessert....a deep-fried mars bar! Oh so good!
What a lovely day.
Now the pressure is on to plan an excellent Father's Day!

Sounds like an excellent day (maybe Ernie & Don should talk...Ernie was on VPU and out of the house by 8). The necklace is beautiful, and the rest of your day sounds very relaxing!
sounds like such a wonderful day! what a sweet hub. I love the custom necklace and that you could treat yourself with your sister.
Wow! That sounds like about the best Mothers day ever! Lucky lady!
P.S. Where did you find a deep fried Mars bar?? YUM!
