Well, I think Mother's Day is celebrated everywhere because women around the world are becoming Moms and Grand-Mothers for the first time everday! Amazing to think that new life happens everyday and it's all thanks to females!

I agree! But I have to say, it's the most rewarding thing in the world and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I hope all of the other mum's here had a great day like I did.
