Shingles. It’s Not Just For The Elderly

Happy Mother’s Day
If you’re a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.
If you’re about to be a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.
If you aren’t yet a mom but want to be, Happy Mother’s Day.
If your mom isn’t here but you wish she were, Happy Mother’s Day.
If you’re not sure whether being a mom is for you, Happy Mother’s Day.
If you never had a biological mom in your life but someone who acted like a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.
If you feel a LOT of complicated emotions on this day and don’t know what to do, Happy Mother’s Day.
It’s a happy day, a rough day, a sad day, an exciting day, a fun day, a painful day, and a million other emotions. So no matter where you are on the “mom” spectrum or how you celebrate, I hope you found peace and happiness in your time yesterday.
And to my mom, I am who I am because of your love, guidance, laughter, rules, and example. I can’t imagine a better mom for me and I’m so glad I get to call you mine.
Happy Mother’s Day.
Boom. That’s Spaghetti
You know what’s an excellent way to spend your Sunday? Doing food prep and watching 90’s movies. Most of which are Disney movies.
I mean, can you really get any better than that?
