My sister's friend Claire writes a blog that mostly focuses on pop culture and humorous observations, but has turned toward parenting since her son was born last summer. Every week she includes an interview, and this week's interview was none other than my mom.

As a (sometimes) overwhelmed mom of one, Claire wanted to know what it was like to be a mom to six. As is her way, my mom answers the questions with a quiet practicality and the special wisdom that comes from being the greatest mom ever. (Which she would deny.)

And if that's not enough to get you to click the link and read the interview, you should be aware that it includes family photos circa 1985 and 2013. And I'm poking myself in the eye in one of them.
