Happy Mother's Day to all the geeky moms out there. Forget the flowers, I received a lovely dice box and dice (that have flowers and bees on them.)

Eh? Oh I always forget it’s on a different day in America!

We also swap the UK placement of Tuesdays and Thursdays.

It was Mothers day in NZ, Australia and Canada too - when is UK mothers day?

UK celebrates it on March 30. I looked it up. In Canada, it's nice to have it in May, so we're not still covered in snow.

No we don’t. It changes every year—the Sunday before Easter.

Ahh, of course. Sorry. I just looked at a date. Ours changes too so it's on second Sunday in May. Just stupid brain glitch. I like Sun before Easter.

Oooh I found a helpful infographic!

Interesting that UK Mothering Sunday is a religious feast day supporting the Mother Church whereas the rest of the Commonwealth follows the secular US tradition.

Funny how these things happen

Well, it may have started that way, but it's certainly not how it's treated in the mainstream today.

Happy Mother's Day
