Happy Mother's Day Jan!
Our Mother day is next month.
Coffee is on and stay safe
No lo sabia espero que tenga un buen día de la madre y un buen fin de semana.
A lovely tribute to your mum.
Happy Mother's Day to you Jan on Sunday and hoping as I'm sure you will have a wonderful day.
Interesting regarding your post on Mother's Day and my goodness that poor lady with all those children..
Wow, those facts are amazing. Imagine having 27 pregnancies and every single one was a multiple birth. Happy Mother's Day, I hope you have a lovely weekend. I'll be spending the day with my family tomorrow.
...Jan, I hope that you will have a wonderful weekend.
Happy Mother's Day to you!
Have a happy weekend!
I can't imagine being that age and having a second child. And wow, that Russian woman sure had a lot of multiple births and so many children to care for. I think that many multiple births must be unusual. And how to get to really know any of them with any depth? Have a wonderful mother's day Jan.
Sweet words for your Mom...and Happy Mother's day to You!!
hugs

Happy Mother's Day! 💐

Congratulations to all the mothers 💐〰〰🤗 Father's Day is celebrated in Spain.
Buen fin de semana.
Un abrazo.
Would love to have mom still so that I could give her flowers...
Happy Mother's Day. As I'm sure you know we have it here in the USA in May.
Happy Mother's Day! Valerie
Those are some astounding statistics! I'm glad to be just an ordinary mother and not a record-breaker! Happy Mother's Day to you!
Beautiful flowers and interesting trivia for Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day!
Here in Portugal, Mother's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in May. Wonderful tribute to those who give infinite love, the Mothers.
I loved the flowers and the tender and beautiful poem.
Happy Mothers Day!
Happy Mother's Day Jan!
Those stats are quite something.
Happy Mother's day!!!
Wow those are some interesting facts, I can't imagine having kids that close or even worse that far apart, 60 is way too old for having kids. I can't imagine having 69 kids either, you would have to get help.
I must admit... I am shocked about #3. That poor woman.
Enjoy your Mother´s Day! Ours is soon, too, and I sure will think of mine...
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day... and the best part is being with family on this day.
For us, May 14th is Mother's Day.
A hug to you. Viola
