This Mother's Day, I can't help but focus on a different kind of hero: my incredible wife, Sarah. 

Sure, every year, we shower moms with flowers and chocolates, but this year feels different. Sarah deserves a standing ovation, not just a box of candy.

Motherhood is a messy, beautiful, and often overwhelming journey.

Sarah navigates it with an unwavering love for our kids. Even when the days are long and the tantrums are loud. 

I’ll never forget the day Max spilled an entire cup of grape juice on our brand-new white rug.

Chaos erupted. But Sarah, calm as ever, grabbed some towels, hugged Max, and somehow salvaged both the rug and her sanity.

But I’ve seen what’s behind that calm strength.

I’ve seen the toll—the sleepless nights spent soothing nightmares, the juggling act between work deadlines and school lunches, the quiet burden of trying to be “perfect.”

Since May is also Mental Health Month, I want to highlight the mental health struggles so many mothers face—the anxiety, the exhaustion, the feeling of never being enough.  

To make it even more special, I created something just for you using a free online greeting card maker that’s easy to use. You can choose different card templates and, of course, customize them.

I put together a little video montage of all our favorite family moments. 

Do you remember that time you surprised the kids with a backyard campout? And, of course, there are some clips of you being the most amazing mom a kid could ask for.

I dug out that funny drawing they made for you that year, too—it's perfect for your Mothers Day card this year.

Sarah, you are more than enough. You are the sunshine that fills our home with laughter, the rock that keeps us grounded, the superhero who makes everything look effortless, even if it means a mountain of laundry later. 

This Mothers Day, here's my promise to you: more time for self-care, a listening ear when you need it, and a shoulder to cry on (or just a good back scratch!). 

We'll take over the bedtime routine so you can relax.

Maybe even plan that weekend getaway you've been dreaming of. 

You deserve it, honey. Thank you for being the strongest, most amazing mom our children could ask for. Happy Mother's Day! 

With all my love, Mike.
