Day 5

This one's for you

Hey there amazing moms,

We're breaking format today because Sunday is YOUR day. (And if anyone deserves a heads-up to prepare for format-breaking special treatment, it's the people who plan everything else in the household.)

Friday PSA: Mother's Day is this Sunday, which means you have approximately 48 hours to strategically mention "breakfast in bed would be nice" to your household. Pro tip: Leave this email open on your device where partners/kids might "accidentally" see it.

The truth about Mother's Day nobody puts on the greeting cards: You'll smile gratefully at the lukewarm coffee with floating eggshell pieces while secretly wondering if they'll clean the kitchen hurricane they created. (Spoiler: probably not.)

To every mom who has two more days of pretending a public bathroom changing table isn't disgusting, using her sleeve as an emergency tissue, and answering "why?" for the 47th consecutive time without completely losing it - we see you. Sunday is coming.

Thank you for being part of this community where we can laugh, cry, and share the beautiful chaos together. Your support has made Mother's Day Daily possible, and for that, I'm grateful beyond words.

Weekend wisdom: Whether you're celebrating Sunday surrounded by homemade cards and sticky kisses, or it's a complicated day for you (sending extra love if that's the case), remember this: You're doing better than you think you are.

Forward this to another mom who needs to hear that today. After all, we're building something special here, one sleep-deprived, coffee-fueled mom at a time.

With love, laughter, and countdown to Sunday activated,

P.S. Regular format returns Monday, but this weekend? Just enjoy those slightly burnt pancakes. You've earned them. And if no one makes you pancakes, make yourself the good ones. With chocolate chips.
