With Mother’s Day coming up, there are probably dozens of activities that we have planned to celebrate our moms. They can be as extravagant as taking her to a 5-star restaurant or as thought-provoking as writing her a heartfelt letter.
One of my favorite mother-daughter bonding moments is spending a couple of hours out of the day wearing matching pajamas, divulging in a basket of our favorite sweets and treats, and laughing, crying, or having epiphanies through heartwarming and meaningful tales of motherhood.
