Mothers to Mothers
Lidiya Marchenko
It’s your first Mother’s Day, do you plan to start any new traditions to celebrate? I am excited for my first Mother’s day – this has been the most thrilling and satisfying year of my life. As I think about motherhood and new traditions, I want to focus on making memories that will last. And for me - looking back at photos and remembering how I felt – that is like a frozen moment/memory I can always go back to. So I want to establish a tradition of having family photoshoot every Mother’s Day. I also want to celebrate the fact that my son made me a mommy, so I want to make this day about him - whether that’s a day at the zoo, a special date, or just a walk in the park – whatever my son’s favorite thing to do! Since this is my first Mother’s Day and my son does not have a favorite thing yet, we will go for his first carousel ride in the city.
