I'll preface this by saying that I generally avoid acknowledging "Hallmark" holidays like the plague.
A plague of sentimentally-driven consumer insanity.
However, this year I've finally found something that makes me want to celebrate Mother's Day: a (free!!) Ottawa Urban Wild Tour about wild food in conjunction with the annual Jane's Walk.
Seriously, someone pinch me.
Urban foraging + urban planning = extremely excited Sid. I'm losing my ever-loving nerdy mind.
I feel the Mother's Day connection is mere coincidence and my sweet husband would probably go along with this without much prompting but! nonetheless! I could not be happier that I've found a very personal way to spend a day celebrating my role in birthing and attempting to raise an entire human being.
Now let's just hope it doesn't fucking rain the whole time.
This does look truly fun. Just no harvesting along the way. I will watch the long-range forecast and pray for good weather for you! My hope is to celebrate my role in birthing (and screwing up) my children by sleeping until noon. This has not happened since 1997.
ReplyDeleteYou pray for sun and I'll pray your kids find it in their sweet little hearts to let you sleep as long as you want :)
