This year is not the year to get the mom in your life flowers for Mother's Day.
Maybe the woman raised kids through a pandemic, which, to be abundantly clear, looks a lot different than raising kids through a non-pandemic year. She probably also worked, organized activities for the whole family, cooked an absurd amount of meals, and made sure the house was clean enough in the process. Sure, she had a few meltdowns along the way, but who the hell didn't? 2020 was pure chaos, but she's a superhero. So she figured it out.
And here we are, on the edge of normalcy with the bright light of summer upon us, and you're thinking about getting the mom in your life flowers for Mother's Day. Think again.
