I can just give them out in person.

Call me lucky. I have a great set of mothers. Sure, all the relationships are not without their complications. But it’s a pretty stellar group of women.

It feels nice to say that and mean it. And I do.

This year, Diaper Diva celebrates her first Mother’s Day. WOW. My sister has waited a long, long time for this. She deserves the world’s BIGGEST Mother’s Day card. H U G E.

I will pick out my Mother’s Day cards today: it’s a yearly ritual I enjoy. Picking out Diaper Diva’s will be the most fun of all. If I can find one that’s BIG enough that is.
