Happy Mother's Day!

Have a beautiful weekend! xoxo

Mother's Day 2012

I came home from work this morning to find everyone ready to greet me at the door. Hugs and kisses, and love filled the room. 


I am so grateful to have this life. To be able to love Audrey, Jeremiah and this little person growing inside me. 


I think the pregnancy has me on a high of emotions. The love inside me...helping to create life. 


I hope you are on this mother high also. Being a mother is a beautiful gift. 


Happy Mothers Day!

PS. Wishing all single moms an extra special day. Thank you mom for all your love, patience,and always understanding...I love you.

I recently tried this Dwell Studio diaper bag in store...loved. Josie Maran Argan oil...good stuff. A new scarf can really make an outfit. Fun pens....always love a new pen (must be the nurse in me)...specially one you can play puppets with! New nail polish makes me feel pretty. A Sakura Bloom sling can make any baby wearing mama felíz. (:

What would you love for Mothers Day?

Mother's Day...

Kip took the kids out to a movie and shopping this morning so I could get some much needed uninterrupted sleep ( I worked last night).

I slept... and slept some more when Audrey got in bed to cuddle with me upon their return.  She asked to breastfeed.  I said yes, and we fell asleep together some more. 

I woke up to a new (and much needed) wallet!  And they brought dinner home too!  And Iv'e been catching up on lots of Mothers Day texts from friends and family!

I am happy and in love. 

I hope my mother feels happy and in love today too!

And hope all mother's feel happy and loved!

My mother's day coffee cup.  Isn't is perfect?  It says you rock.  I love that my son thinks I rock.

I can't ever wash it.  He made it with permanent marker.  But it wipes off when wet ) :

I think I will make it into a planter and put a pretty plant inside.

Any other suggestions?



I hope you had a  lovely mother's day.

There is nothing quite like motherhood.  It transforms us, from the day we find out that little miracle is in our belly.

I admire you for being a mother and I hope you have a lovely Mother's Day.  I hope you get lot's of xxx's and oooo's from your little ones.


If you are still looking for something special to give, here is something green, courtesy of got milk? that is easy to make, and I am sure any mother would enjoy.


You can write the recipe down on pretty paper, combine all dry ingredients in a little sachet and tie it to a potted gardenia plant.  <3
