Happy Mother's Day

This to ALL the moms in my life:

First, my own momma. My love & admiration for her grows as does my own love for my children. Having my babies made me realize the sacrifice my own mom has made for me.

Secondly, my hubby's momma. Gees, she had to do quite a job to make this guy so wonderful. So hats off to her for making him the incredible, sacrificial husband & unbelievable dad that he is.

To my sister who (& I'm sure she isn't fond of me pointing out the age gap) was old enough to be somewhat of a parental figure. My sis showed me an example of motherhood & is a major contributor to my own parenting.

To my friends. Especially those whom I speak with on a regular basis. Sometimes those phone conversations or nights out are the very things that keep me sane. Words of encouragement that seem ordinary become advice & bits of knowledge.


I recently entered a contest for Moms. The entry required you to submit your definition of mother's day. I sat there & thought about it. Yes, it's a very special day... actually a holiday. But really, to me, everyday is mother's day. Everyday I get to spend my every moment with my babies. Everyday I hear, "Mommy I love you", "Good night Mom" & Jeff has said that the last few times he's prayed with Flynn the 'Now I lay me down' prayer, she says, "Now I lay me down to sleep... I pray FOR MOM." Awww!!! That's sweet & that little girl obviously knows her momma needs extra prayers.
I'm also fortunate enough to have a husband who makes everyday Mother's Day. I hear women brag that on Mother's Day their husband made them lunch or waited on them or was extra nice.
WELL, I get that treatment everyday...or every chance Jeff has. He makes my everyday special.

Happy Mother's Day to me. And a thank you to God. That on this day I'm fortunate enough to have reason (or 2 reasons) to celebrate.
