They all piled on the bed while I ate breakfast.
I was looking at all four of these beautiful children and felt so blessed to be their mother.
I thought back to mine and Seth's second year of marriage.
I came home on the Saturday before mother's day and there were flowers on the table with a note from Seth saying, Happy Mother's Day! You are going to make a wonderful mother one day.
He was always so great at helping me keep the faith.
It's amazing what has happened to our family in the past eight years.
I am so grateful for my children.
Laurel and Savannah brought me home a gift from church.
It was a note that said, M&M Moment {Mom and Me Moment}
It had a package of M&M's attached.
The note had all the colors of M&M listed with a question or something for you to talk about together. For example, if I drew the blue M&M, the corresponding question was, what is one of your favorite things to do with me? Or if they drew blue, they had to tell me. It was such a great idea for a simple Mother's Day gift.
I went to their room with them one at a time.
We took turns drawing and eating our M&M's and talking to one another.
It's really simple what makes children happy.
They just want one on one time with you. And they want to feel special.
I'm grateful for my own mother who I have so much more respect for every day.
She is always there to listen to me vent. She never judges. She is the most compassionate woman I know.
She can decorate like a professional decorator and absolutely loves doing it. I think this must be where I get my passion of decorating.
She is a great cook and we can spend hours talking about recipes.
Her front door has always been open to anyone. She never meets a stranger. Believe me, she can get someone's life story standing in the grocery line.
I love you mom!
