As a new mom in another country, I was a bit confused when Mother’s Day was happening in another weekend than I was used to in the Netherlands. In France, we celebrate it in the 4th weekend of May. And so it happens on different dates in the world. So what do you choose? When you’re Dutch but live in France? Marik told me to choose 1 day. And I thought we choose the French Mother’s Day. But I still feel Dutch roots in me and wanted to write about it now.
