War waged in the home: Rethinking conflict and gender-based violence in Iraq @iraq (#HappyMothersDay - 2 days a yr for ALL women and .005% of the news, much of it on clothing choices)
Happy Guilted Into Buy Flowers-And-Chocolate Day, And Maybe Stand In An Endless Line For A Horribly Crowded Brunch Day for those that celebrate!
(hint: if you truly want to celebrate your mother, do what we always did for my mom, and do the buffet the week BEFORE or the week AFTER, when the buffet is better and you don't have crowds; I also used to go to the chocolate/flower stores the DAY AFTER and had gotten flowers for 90% off and chocolates for 50-75% off... 😉
My family is notoriously difficult to shop for. We don't tend to think in terms of things, and we don't really talk about things we want.
For #MothersDay this year, I'm picking up wings from a local restaurant. Yes. This thrills my mum because she hasn't had them in years. It means no cooking that (Wednesday) night and we get to eat in.
See, if I ask her what she wants, she starts thinking in terms of the horses or the cat (or the dog, before he passed), or something for around the house. For gifts, she'd rather have an experience than an object.
Thank you for everything, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day! You gave me this beautiful life and I am forever grateful for it. Wish you a Happy Mother’s Day from the team of www.visualytes.com
Happy Mother's Day to the one who taught all of you about strength, kindness, and the beauty of a mother's love. Happy Mother’s Day from the team of www.hitechtechnology.in
I was reminded today by a friend that mothering is more than just birthing, raising and loving offspring, it’s loving and nurturing those in your life who need it.
She reminded me, and thanked me. This “Internet mom” feels like a mom today. 🥲
Wishing a #HappyMothersDay to mothers everywhere, of every stripe. 💖
