12 May Something About Mother's Day
One of the many perks of having preschool aged children is getting handmade Mother’s Day gifts. I’m a sucker for every painted, glued, stitched, drawn, folded, pipe cleanered, popsicle sticked work of art.
On the other hand, when you’ve got a near middle-schooler, they are old enough to translate to your spouse your deep and desperate desire for a spa pedicure. Pedicure gift certificates are my most favorite things. Ever. Second only to macaroni jewelry.
Speaking of jewelry, you can still enter the Blue Poppy Motherhood necklace giveaway by leaving a comment on the Mother’s Day Post at Shutter Sisters.
I do hope all of you moms enjoyed your Sunday and took plenty of photos to choose from for your Best Shot Monday. I bet you did, didn’t you?

Posted at 04:19h, 12 MayOh, a spa pedicure…now if that doesn’t sound like a little bit of heaven, I don’t know what does!
She is looking so grown up in that shot — and so pretty!
Hope that you had a wonderful mother’s day!

Happy Mother’s Day Tracey!

How beautiful what she made for you. My Kindergardener brought home something he’d planted, he thinks it’s a rose, I’m not too sure, but the first thing he did was water it, like with enough water for a month and a half. And I was like, oh baby, it doesn’t need THAT much water, and he kept crying that he’d drowned his rose that he planted for Mudders day, and now it wouldn’t grow. We’ll see right?

Posted at 15:20h, 12 MayI’m not doing Best Shot Monday today… didn’t take any pictures during the weekend!
But just had to stop by and tell you that spa gift cards are the best for me too, and in fact for most women, so it is now my gift of choice for girlfriends/ mom/ mother in law etc.
But to me, a massage is even better than a pedicure. 🙂

Posted at 23:19h, 12 MayYikes! I didn’t even think about posting a Mother’s Day picture today!!! Okay, I stink as a mom. In my defense, our day started off with quite a terrible storm and we were all tired the rest of the day!
I’m up and running. Showing off the very first picture taken with my new toy!
