Yep, I said it! While this does not apply to all Mother’s Day Cards, I feel like a majority are extremely bland and generic.

Laughter ensued because what popped into my head was hilarious.I decided to ask a few other mom bloggers the same question. Each one of these honest Mother’s Day Cards shares a truth of motherhood. The answers range from sweet, cute, kind, hilarious and even gross. Because lets face it, motherhood can get dirty.
