As women, we are special. We are unique. We are daughters, wives, sisters, mothers, teachers, and friends. We come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and religious preferences. We have been blessed with the ability to bear children, nurture souls, and show kindness to those we come in contact with. So, today, let's honor all those women in our lives who have taught us something, who have brought a smile to our face, who have loved us or cared for us.
You don't have to be a mother to celebrate Mother's Day.
But now that I am a mother, it is truly one of my favorite days. It's a chance for me to be pampered by my gaggle of boys. It's an opportunity for me to relax and eat chocolates, and let my husband and sons cook dinner and clean up.
Yesterday, I got to take the "day off." I did a little shopping, and met up with a friend for lunch and pedicures. It was seriously the BEST day! And a day I totally needed!

I just love those quotes! I hope you have a wonderful Mother's Day filled with relaxation, and hopefully chocolates! :)
You have a lovely Mother's day. I visited my mom in long term care and it was lovely. We could bring her down to the courtyard and look at the pretty pink flowering trees. I love that last quote. My mom would do all for me and my brother and now we must do our all for a lady who leaves me in awe. They deserve respect. Enjoy your day
ReplyDeleteThank you! So glad you got to visit your mom!
DeleteI especially liked the first quote. I sat through many a rainy football game just waiting for the band to take the field.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I have many years of that to come! :)
DeleteI do love your selfie! Being a mom is the best job I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful and exhausting and marvelous all at the same time! :)
DeleteAww. You and your friend look like you had a fab time. I'm glad you had a good day off!
ReplyDeleteThanks! We did! :)
DeleteHappy Mother's Day (late!). Aren't you just beautiful? I love that picture! I'm a stepmother, but I don't feel that I've earned the right to be pampered on Mother's Day. So it's all about my mom!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI think you've earned the right to be pampered!! Take advantage of it next year. :)
How nice you had a pampered and fun day off!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful! :)
DeleteThat's so awesome they 'let' you get away! ;) We didn't have to cook or do dishes either, which is always great. And I know without a doubt that you are a fantastic mom!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks. So are you!! :)
DeleteAw, thanks. So are you!! :)
DeleteWhat awesome quotes! I'm happy to hear you had a lovely Mother's day. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a nice Mother's Day, and the guys did all the work! Maybe that should happen more than once a year! ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got the day off. You deserve it! From the blog posts I've read, I know you're an excellent mother. :)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Mother's Day:) I've got so many mothers in my life now that I should invest in hallmark cards;)
ReplyDeleteso glad you had a wonderful mother's day! It's always a fun day, I made my mom a card (I've been doing it since I was like 4 lol) and got her some makeup!
