How do you celebrate Mother's Day?

Mother’s Day has arrived.

IT’S MOTHER’S DAY today.

Dr Fiona Murphy writes of it: “Mother’s Day arrives with its usual trappings: pink-hued advertisements, pre-written messages of gratitude, flowers ordered in haste.

“It is a day meant to honour, but it often flattens, reducing something vast and intricate into a singular, sentimental note. Motherhood, in all its forms, refuses such easy containment.”

So today we’re asking you: How do you celebrate Mother’s Day?
