The perfect Mother’s Day isn’t about pedicures and spa treatments. It’s not about chocolate or candy. It’s not even about time alone or fabulous presents.
The perfect Mother’s Day is a day that reminds you why you love being a mother. It’s filled with cuddles, love, and hugs. It’s decorated with pictures painstakingly drawn by little hands. And it moves to the soundtrack of toddler giggles and preschooler songs.
I had the best Mother’s Day ever. It started out with a long family snuggle in our not quite big enough bed. It continued with a lavish Country Club brunch and an afternoon at the in law’s pool. And it ended with a low key, impromptu barbecue by the pool. Nothing special. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just a wonderful day with my wonderful family. A day that made me happy to be a mom.
Sounds like a wonderful day, J! 🙂 I got home at about 11:30 pm on Saturday and my Mother’s Day began with a dogpile (guess who was at the borrom) at midnight! *lol*
We had church and a graduation party, and then my husband got sick. But my son let me a card and a thoughtful gift before going to work, and my husband presented me with a lovely (perfect) card. So it was a good day, even without chocolate!
Oh, and the graduate (master’s in math) who is sometimes like a daughter to me, gave me a little daisy filled bud-vase which was so thoughtful.
This was my second mother’s day and it was nice. My hubby had my daughter scribble with crayons on a mother’s day card, it was so sweet. We did lunch and spent sometime at the park.
You’re amazing. For the big day i requested S take the girls to his parents Sat. night, sleepover & not come back ’til late Sunday. I think he was actually going to do it too, but then A came down w/ strep throat knocking my peaceful Sunday plans away…sigh. I did get to sleep in (sort of), but then we ended up in urgent care in the afternoon w/ a potential strep throat case in K, but it turned out to be a random cold virus….FUN! I think between all our girls, we must have been hit w/ every single virus going around this winter!
Aww! The posts that are simple and perfect like this one make me feel warm n fuzzy 😀
teehee.

It is simply good to know I’m loved.
Great pool picture!
Awww, sounds like a fantastic day.

You and the girls make the prettiest picture – I am glad you had a nice day, you really know how to appreciate life!
I adore that picture! So sweet!
