      Hi Kelly D,
      I have to confess that I always think Mother’s Day is all about me but I have a mother and mother in law too. Once we forgot and we have to overnight cards to them (on a Saturday!). Ouch! Now I try to figure out a gift — they live on the other coast — a month in advance. I’m glad you don’t have that problem!

    I celebrated Mother’s Day this year with sleeping in an extra 30min and having my 7 year old bring me breakfast in bed that him and his daddy cooked for me :)! We then spent the day together not cooking, cleaning or anything just chilling out watching movies and spending time together! It was super awesome!
