There is a LOT of good stuff out there on the Internets. I want to make sure that my mamas out there are well stocked with reading material for their morning propped up in bed with a cup of hot coffee and homemade blueberry pancakes served on a lap tray.
Who are we kidding? You're going to read this stuff when you lock the door and sit on toilet for as long as you darn well please because....Mother's Day.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. This is a very small sample of just a few of the pieces that really make my heart leap in my chest when I read them. Some of them are from just this week, some are from years ago. Some make me laugh so hard I pee and others make me cry ugly tears.
Nobody ever said motherhood was pretty.
