“To have the day off, not having to go to work. And, to have a nice lunch with my family.”

Jody Erdman, Princeton

“The best way to celebrate Mother’s Day is to do what she wants to do. This year we’re going to the Philadelphia Zoo to see the monkeys with our first born child, Eko.”

Alex Brown, Princeton

“To spend the day with generations of mothers; with my mother, myself, my sisters and our children. We can all relate about how wonderful it is to be a mother at all different ages.”

Beth Sparandra with Nate and Abigail, Monroe

“To be with my two daughters one of whom lives in Seattle and the other in Hawaii. I don’t see them often and I won’t see them this year. But that is my wish and would be the best way to spend Mother’s Day.”

Margaret Vandagens, Princeton

“Best way to celebrate is to go out to a nice dinner without the children.”
