Hey there. My mom is visiting. This is the first Mother's Day we've spent together since I moved to Virginia in 2012, and she's pretty excited about it. I'm not big on holidays—with the exception of birthdays (mine is in October, and you should feel free to mark the entire month on your calendar)—but when I told her Mother's Day is a Hallmark holiday she made it clear that I am alone in that opinion. And so I'm leaning in to the occasion this year, offering up a Mother's Day-themed newsletter for you (of sorts—don't worry, it's not all sunshine and roses). But first: a vintage photo of my mother and me, from 1980.
