happy mother's day! i've always felt like mother's day is yours and no one else's (i remember being a kid and resenting so much the implication - or instruction - that i should be calling my grandmother on mother's day, even though i adored her, because she wasn't my mother). also, ahem, you just happen to be the best mom ever. you set the standard, and you've made it so easy to be a good mom, because mostly i just try to do the things that you did. and i love knowing that if you weren't my mom, and we randomly met, we would be great friends (just like we are in real life).
i am trying to broaden my mind, though, and also think adoringly of my other favorite moms today, including m's sweet sweet mom; my very best friend; my wonderful sisters-in-law; mama d; the dancer lady; and so many more. but my very favorite thing is being with my kids on mother's day. i can't believe my luck in being their mom.

really? cause i think you're an amazing mom, holly -- you are so calm under pressure, and you have always spoken to your kids like they are intelligent people (as a result, THEY ARE)... i could go on and on, but i love watching you with them.
Awwwwwwww!
