By Nadia V. (Mama and the City)

Mother's Day

I don’t recall celebrating a Mother’s Day in the last 30 years. I really don’t know what’s in it – aside of the commercialization of it, going to a restaurant, buying a gift, etc… And for the first 3 years of my newly motherhood stage I thought I wouldn’t care celebrating it either. I was wrong.
