Mother's Day Redux

So today is actually Mother's Day for the Northern Hemisphere. Thought I'd share a little list of the best and worst celebrity mothers, and the celebs we'd most like to leave our kids with that were compiled based on a survey of American moms (sorry, I'm not sure of the initial source - I heard this on the radio this morning).

American Mothers said they would be most comfortable leaving their children with celeb couple Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi. Second would be Jennifer Aniston, who surprisingly beat out Bradgelia (in 3rd place). Oprah was voted 4th best celeb to leave your kids with (maybe because of all the free stuff they could get?).

The BEST celeb moms:
1. Jennifer Garner
2. Michelle Obama
3. Reece Witherspoon
4. Angelia Jolie

The WORST celeb moms:
1. Courtney Love
2. Dina Lohan
3. Britney Spears

I'm a relatively frequent follower of celebrity "news" and thought this was funny and worth passing on. Anyone they left out? I might pick on "reality celeb" Ocotomom Nadya Suleman, but maybe that's because I just don't understand her...

Happy Mother's Day

Today is 10th May, Mother's Day. We will be celebrating by visiting my husband's parents for Sunday lunch. Sounds good to me.
Yesterday I had a nice day meeting up with a friend who recently, and unexpectedly, told me she's also expecting. She hadn't been planning on a baby, indeed she had been planning a 6 month trip to Europe instead. Things have changed substantially for her with her news but she seems happy and like she's adjusting to it well. We had a nice brunch and then went on the prowl for maternity clothing and for a browse at baby stuff. Each of us got 1-2 new tops and I bought some baby socks and booties as well as a onesie.
I hope all mother's out there are having a fabulous day today and that they end up spoiled by those who love them this Mother's Day. Which reminds me...Mom, if you're reading this, I haven't forgotten you, I'm just running late ;)
