Mother's day

I have never written a Mother’s day blog. I just realized that a couple days ago. I guess because I don’t give the day a lot of weight. My husband has always tried to make the day special. He has bought gifts and a couple years ago took me out to a really fancy lunch and shopping but really I just wanted to hang out with my kids.

Now they are both in preschool and this week has brought me the school made projects. Runa made me a card with an “I love you” message written by her in large block capital letters. The fact she can write just blows me away. She also covered a jar in tissue paper to make it look like stained glass and filled it with dandelions.

Noah filled out a “about my mommy” sheet. He says I weigh 58 lbs so he wins the favorite kid award. Just kidding! But he also gave me a sunflower sprout they started in school that will find its way into a flowerbed or garden tonight.

These little tokens are so precious to me. The husband brought back a beautiful handmade necklace from his last business trip. It’s really gorgeous and I look forward to wearing it on date night but the time in the garden last weekend and the projects I can see the kids poured their hearts into just for me mean so much. I don’t need or want the store bought flowers or gifts or breakfast in bed. I am more than happy with the effort they put forward to make sure their project for mom was perfect.

That all being said I am taking another step toward my own personal goals. I am in the final design stages of my Etsy shop. I know, I know everyone has an Etsy shop but it is another way of getting my photography out there and seen.

 

On a final note:

It’s been a month since my last blog. At the end of that post I discussed the impending passing of our beloved cat Lynxy. About two weeks after that post she lost the battle. I kept my promise and was there with her until the end. I miss her non-stop “talking” and our nightly chats. She was awesome cat.
