With Mother's Day quickly approaching, I know that this day can be filled to triumphs, celebrations, constant worry, love, sorrow, remembrance and love. Yep, I said love twice and I have no shame for that. I reached out to a handful of my favorite mothers and asked them to share with me a couple of things.

• Their favorite things about being a mother

• A challenge they are currently facing or have overcome

• Something they have done recently to feel more human (and not just a mother) Huge thank you to Cassidy, Lelia & Rachel for spending some time entertaining my hair-brained antics and continually to love me and your human so much each and every fucking week. Here’s to many more years of friendship. ILYSM.
