Happy Mother’s Day to you.

However you are spending your day, we want to celebrate YOU.

 

Motherhood is the most phenomenal journey and we are so thankful to have been blessed with babies of our own. Our children are growing so fast and while in many ways we wish they were still small, we are thankful to be watching them grow up.

Mother’s Day can be heartbreaking for so many people. And if your day today is full of pain, we want to give you a virtual hug.

Some of us are spending the day with our children, while others are not.

My two precious girls, Julia and Sophia, who are 12 and 9, are away from me for the first time on Mother’s Day. They are in Italy with their Dad visiting family.

I miss them excruciatingly, but I am so incredibly happy that they are having this fantastic experience.

If you are feeling lonely today, please reach out to someone. If you are feeling overwhelmed today, please take time for yourself.

We truly hope you are feeling blessed today.
