Call me a sucker, but I love Mother's Day cards. I read all these quotes about motherhood, I feel like I'm a superhero. At least for a day.

Of course, I tell my husband every year not to bother buying me a card, because it's just going to end up in the recycling bin ... not because I don't care but because we have a 6-year-old who brings home about 16 worksheets every day. There is only so much paper we can save! This is why I love the Internet: I can save all those lovely quotes about why being a mom is the bomb right where I can get at them: on my computer, on my iPhone, oh, and right here, on The Stir!

Because we have some of the loveliest, most inspiring bits of wisdom about being a mother that you will ever read. Just check them out!

And tell us, what is YOUR favorite quote about motherhood?
