Happy Mother’s Day! I am looking forward to a day of simplicity and time with family. My kids have worked on handmade gifts which are always the absolute best! We will be visiting my mom and taking her a homemade meal that my kids and I will prepare. Something very simple but the meals from our kitchen are always the best for my parents and we have plenty on hand to save the money of stopping to pick a meal up. My parents aren’t able to get out and about these days so we’ll go to them and enjoy family time.
For those of you who are moms—enjoy your day! For all stepmoms–know that you are valued on this day and all days…even if stepkids aren’t able to make that known loud and clear. For all of us blessed to have our mothers with us…enjoy celebrating your mom in whatever way you are able. For those of you who have lost your mothers, savor the memories and for those of you hurting over your relationship with your mom…may you find peace. 🙂
And remember…the best advice of all…listen to your mother!
Born and raised in Texas. I’ve at least driven through every state in the US courtesy of a roadtrip loving Dad.
I’m single with two children and a good parenting relationship with their father.
I am a “life is just half full of funny” kinda gal. Humor is my saving grace and I am thankful for it every single day. I have a strong Catholic faith and am thankful for that foundation.
I read a lot for a living but still enjoy a good book. I love biographies but in recent years have found the need for fun fictional books–sadly, for a long time I just didn’t enjoy fiction!
I love live theatre of any kind–from local productions to Broadway.
I love to scrapbook and pride myself in my kids’ albums.
I love being a mom but also love my career. I’m blessed to have found a balance allowing me to be at everything my kids need and want me to be at–while also having a career.

Happy Mother’s Day!!!
You are one of the few ive ever seen acknowledge step mothers on mothers day! Thank you. I have my own now but when I was just a step with a child who wasn’t allowed to acknowledge it it bothered me.
