It's that time of year again! It's Mother's Day eve and I was just thinking about all that my Mother means to me. I'm grateful for the relationship we share and it is my hope that I can create and maintain that same openness with my children. I'm into my ninth year being a Mother and it's a challenging task. Parenting is the most challenging thing I have ever done because there is so much heart and emotion behind it. The challenges make me appreciate my Mother even more. Wow, the sacrifices we make for our children. Thanks Mom, I Love You!!
I had the privilege of attending Muffins with Mom with my 6 yr. old daughter and a Mother's Day Tea with my 9 yr. old son on Friday at their school. It was a special day for all in attendance. For both events the children prepared a short speech about their Mom and recited it. My 6yr old daughter said, "My Mom is special because she watched a movie with me". When I heard her I thought - I may be able to pull this Mothering thing off after all. Lesson #1 - little things make a big difference. My 9yr old son said, "My Mother should be Mother of the Year because...She smells good and that's what makes her pretty". Hold up! Stop the madness! That's it? Okay,(drum roll) props goes out to Juicy Couture! I get so many compliments when I wear that fragrance. If a squirt of Juicy makes me pretty I'll take it! I'm a customer for life! Lesson #2 - little things make a big difference.
Don't forget to share love this weekend with all the Moms and all the special women in your life. Take lots of pictures!
