A Mother's Day Medley

Mombloggers from around the net dish about a happy--and not-so-happy--Mother's Day.

Whether you're a new mom or a seasoned veteran, you deserve something special on Mother's Day. Breakfast in bed.  Flowers and chocolate. Hand-made cards.



Sometimes it works out that way, and sometimes, well, it doesn't. Here are some of the best Mother's Day posts I read this week--funny, sad, and touching.

• DaMomma writes about a harrowing trip to the hospital with her baby.
• The always-hilarious Lindsay at Suburban Turmoil has a disturbing experience at Forever 21 and imagines her worst Mother's Day nightmare (it involves potty-mouthed, sullen teenagers)
• CityMama's Mother's Day involved falafel and shellfish (oh, and her family). Her photo essay is here.
• Heather, a mom of quads, celebrates her first Mother's Day with a much-deserved nap.
• Mother of three Sarah pens a Mother's Day poem for her sister Jen (also a mom of three) at Momalom. 
• What's up with the bad Mother's Day gifts? ParentDish dishes about clueless gift-givers and their poorly-thought-out purchases.
