Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms I know:
To Corey, for being the strongest woman I know. Your children are beautiful, just like their mom.
To Courtney, for making it look effortless. Kailey is lucky to have you.
To Camille. You were meant to be a mom, and Mini really does have your eyes.
To Dana, for putting up with me, even when she didn’t have to. See? I finally outgrew the rebellious adolescent stage! (sidenote: Stepmoms rule. They didn’t choose their stepkids, so for all of you stepchildren out there, be kind, will ya? They’ve more than earned your respect.)
To Pat: You’re everything I could have asked for in a Mother-In-Law.
To JoJo and Virgie, for your generous hearts. I have never seen more evidence of a mother’s love than you show for your children.

To all of the blog moms of the world: How do you find time? Keep it up, though, because I’m getting a lot of good advice for when my time finally comes!
Finally, to my own mother. You’re my touchstone, my best friend, my therapist, my teacher, and the best role model a girl could have. You’ve given me more than anyone has a right to, and you’ve taught me more than I ever thought I could learn. And no, I’m not sucking up. That’s Kevin’s job.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!
