This year is my first Mother's Day. My husband has asked me what I would like to do to celebrate this day. He gave me the most amazing gift, there's nothing more to want. It's been a special week already. I have received a darling project my daughter has "made" each day this week, as I have dropped her off at Daycare. My husband wrote the most incredible note, from Hattie's perspective on why I'm a good mom. It literally brought tears to my eyes. It's the best thing I've ever read. Happy Mother's Day to all!

I used to think I knew a lot. Then I became a mom. Turns out I didn't know much. Ten months ago, when my daughter was born, I graduated to a woman, mom, doctor, advocate, healer, chew toy, play mate, protector, master cuddler, and that's just to name a few of my new job descriptions. More than anything this is a public journal of my new life.
