Mother's Day



~Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother~

LOVE!

Happy Monday my dears.



I hope all of you Mama's out there had a wonderful Mother's Day.

I couldn't have asked for a better day.

We had a fun filled day of family dinners, visiting and laughing!

It was GREAT!



The hubs surprised me with these.

Oh.My.Lawd.

So far, the pecan praline is my very favorite.

I would say we are good and stocked up on coffee for awhile!

;)

There are no words to describe HOW MUCH I treasure handmade gifts such as these.

Gifts made with love and tiny hands.

Reminding me to SLOW DOWN and enjoy being a Mama.

Showing me the love THEY are filled with,

and that I am doing the job I feel I was born to do.

Life goes so fast.

So, so fast.

In the blink of an eye,

your children have grown a few inches,

turned another year older,

are learning and exploring new things,

starting a new school year,

ending a school year,

just growing up way to quickly.

I spent the whole day reflecting on these things,

 while watching my children laugh, play and run around.

Yes, I cried part of the day too.

:)

Tears of joy and thanks.

That God has given me {us} these two to raise.

I love them so very much and couldn't ask for anhything more.

Except for maybe time to slow down a bit.



When we finally got home last night I decided to get out my sewing machine.

I bought fabric over a month ago to sew new living room pillows with.

Something always comes up when I plan to sew.

And, it always gets pushed to the back burner.

So, the hubs took the kids outside to play ball for an hour or so.

I fired up a candle, my sewing machine and finally got my pillows made.

I can't wait to share them with you soon.

:)

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day as well.

Take care my friends!
