Mothers day interviews with my kids are my favorite.  It is such a treasure to know that in years to come I’ll be able to read over these and remember the silly little mannerisms and varying levels of knowledge that accompany each age.  Honestly, it doesn’t have to be a mothers day interview–I like doing them for birthdays and other holidays too.  But, without further ado–
