Mother’s Day Linkity

Believe it or not, there is a website page with Mother’s Day Trivia. (I don’t actually know that I believe all of it, but there you go.)

Anna @ The Bibliotaph had a good post On Books About Realistic Moms.

There are of course lots of lists with books about mothers:

• 100 must read books about mothers and motherhood
• 19 powerful books about motherhood
• 7 unforgettable books about mothers and daughters
• 10 books about mothers daughters to read with your mom
• 33 books to read with your mother

It has nothing to do with my mother (except we both drink tea?) but Inkophile shared with link with exquisite paintings on tea bags and I had to share it.

And lastly, a Pusheen GIF because Pusheen. (Image links back to the official Pusheen tumblr.)

Happy Mother’s Day if you celebrate! I use it as an excuse to visit with family and eat lots of yummy food. I also find it highly amusing that Anna Jarvis, who created Mother’s Day in 1908 (in the US) then spent years trying to change or abolish it. Granted, a lot of her complaints are legitimate. This isn’t a part of history that I have heard about before, though.
