It's her first Mother's Day since splitting from hubby Chris Martin -- and it seems like Gwyneth Paltrow's having a blast.

The newly single 41-year-old got plenty of love from her kids Moses and Apple on Sunday. The Oscar winner posted a sunny beach pic of the blonde threesome with the caption, "Feelin' the love today #luckymama."

Wearing a grey tank top, Gwyneth beamed while flanked by her eight-year-old son and her nine-year-old daughter.

The lanky actress was showing off her parenting skills, despite being under fire for a recent interview in which she talked about how being on set was more difficult on a mother than having a 9 to 5 job.

In an attempt to clarify her comments, Gwynnie tried to "end the Mommy Wars" on her Goop site last week. The film actress wrote, "Film work takes one away from home and requires 12-14 hours a day, making it difficult to be the one to make the kids their lunch, drive them to school, and put them to bed."

She continued: "This somehow was taken to mean I had said a 9-5 job is easier."

"And a lot of heat was thrown my way, especially by other working mothers who somehow used my out-of-context quote as an opportunity to express feelings (perhaps projected) on the subject."

We aren't sure if that statement ends the war permanently (since we are pretty sure she's going to say something inadvertently entitled at some point soon) -- but it may have ended the battle.
