“I woke up and my oldest daughter Sophia, who’s 6, she wanted to make me a card. So we went downstairs and she took out art supplies. She cut out a beautiful heart and drew a picture of us, very colorful, and she wrote a very nice note. Without asking me how to spell anything! And before that she surprised me and had cleaned up her room and made her bed without me asking! Then my 3-year-old Milla saw what Sophia had done and attempted to do the same thing, big mess! She cleaned up all the markers, I was so proud of her, and that was her version of a Mother’s Day present. My six-month-old baby Dasha was an angel as usual. Then we went as a family to my parents’ house for a Mother’s Day barbecue with my brother and my sister and her kids. We made a whole day of it! My husband Harrison’s job was to not complain, not tell me it’s time to go. My present was he had to sit there and enjoy it like everyone else and not tell me, ‘I want to go home!'”
