Happy Mother's Day from Someone Who Gets It

Sometimes even a writer can't write it better. And so, I offer you this gem that I've lifted from The Makeshift Mom's Facebook page.

Happy Mother's Day. If for only a moment, may you find a little corner of the world free from puke, poop, dishes, detergent and tumbling dustbunnies.

Glow-in-the-Dark Girls Dance-Theme Birthday Party or "That's Inaproooopriaaaaaate."

Image
You know the feeling you get when you have a really amazing idea, so you throw your back into realizing your brilliant vision for what promises to be the very rock-er-ific party of all time. "The kids will be talking about this for MONTHS," you think as you order your fourth PS3 Move remote, second 4-foot black light, black light hair spray, black light makeup, glow bracelets, black light glitter body gel and glow-in-the-dark lip gloss from the internet. "Oh, their great surprise when they see these glowing black light balloons, neon posters, flashing star accents, disco lights, strobe lights and nightclub-like sofa set-ups. Not to mention their inability to resist this salavation station smattered with popcorn (in individual tubs!), cake pops, ice cream cake, peanut m&ms, regular m&ms, sweet tart party mix, adorable mini pop cans, pizza, breadsticks and MORE."

MERCH: Walt Disney's Dumbo Classic Coffee Mug With Lid PURCHASE LOCATION: Emporium on Main Street PARK: Magic Kingdom, Disney World DATE: June 2023 What in the what, Disney. Imagine you're cruising down Main Street with a super ornery toddler, so obviously you stop in a store to buy her a toy because that's just where you are in your 4th-child parenting journey. Now, I'm a practical person. I have a tendency to drop irrational dollars at Disney, but the dollar-dropping is always and only on items with a practical use and a high likelihood of being well-loved. Enter: THIS MUG.  Listen. I approached the Disney coffee mug wall with a discerning eye and a list of required attributes: 1) Speaks to my heart 2) Makes mornings suck less as it transports me back to my Disney vacation 3) Doesn't break the bank 4) Is DISHWASHER SAFE (no time for hand-washing dishes in my cray house) 5) Something I didn't even know I needed: THE LID BEHOLD: The lid.
