Mother’s Day around the World!

After giving birth to a wonderful baby and becoming a mother myself, I can say that Mother’s Day is a VERY SPECIAL celebration for me. HUGE!

There is so much to do as a mom, every single day and night! Remaining positive, patient and strong when dealing with baby waking up every 2-3 hours at night, screaming, doing all his baby stuff… is a challenge!

So for this, being a great mom is a superpower to be reckoned with!

For all the Supermoms out there, this is your time to shine!

MOTHER is said very differently all around the word, but the most common ways are MA, MOM, MAMA, since these are the easiest sounds to make for a baby.

It looks weird that, in Esperanto,  a constructed international auxiliary language that is supposed to be invented out of the mixture of all the  languages, MOTHER is “PATRINO”. How come? In Esperanto, “PATRO” means FATHER, so they derived the word “PATRINO” from it? A mother is a mother, not a derivative of father!  Never call me PATRINO, I much prefer MAMA! =)
