Mother's Day...

I've always felt that Mother's Day has become another meaningless & overly commercialized holiday where kids pressure their fathers to get "something nice & expensive" for mummy and then mothers subtly mentioning it to other mothers so that the other mother would either try to compete by bragging about how much effort her kids put into making her feel so special or she'll withdraw and feel unloved and worthless because her family (who might be the most loving family) didn't do the same to her..

But hang on.. Now I have my own kids and they too will be pressured by their teachers and endless mother's day promotions displayed everywhere that makes them feel like a bunch of ungrateful and unloving children if they didn't get "something" for mummy ..

So I decided this..

I'll create a family's day tradition that doesn't involve material gifts nor flowers..

I want it to be a day where we spend it entirely together and where we could all sleep in one bed, stay up late, go out or any other memorable experience where we enjoy it as a family... Because the more and more I think about it I realize that these experiences and memories are what will last and mean the most to all of us..
