Who's your mama?

Mother's Day has been a little hit or miss over the last 8 years. The low point was the year that Eliot was a tiny baby and all I wanted was a morning to sleep in. It was going along along swimmingly until Alex poured a cup of water over Aresa's head out of sheer frustration. Needless to say no one was very happy that day.

But today's has been delightful. The sun is out, Aresa has been bursting with excitement for days over her big plans for me. The kids decorated frames and Alex took pictures of them, Aresa drew a picture of me and wrote about why she loves me and breakfast in bed complete with chocolate pudding and cookie crumbs. Now really, how awesome is that :)

Being a mom is tough. Having one can be tough. But if you remember we are all learning and growing and practicing it can make it easier to forgive all parties!

My hope for the day is to simply be together and have fun. No rushing, no arguing, no yelling. Good day. Hope you have a good one too!
