Mother’s Day…A Blessing

I just wanted to give a quick little shout out to the most wonderful lady in the world, my Mom.  She is one of the most generous ladies I know.

Something funny is that I ordered 2 copies of the book “Reluctant Entertainer” because I heard how good it was around blogland and thought it would be something we’d both enjoy reading.  So I gave a copy to her for Mother’s Day.  As I started reading it the other night, I was thinking “oh my gosh I hope my mom isn’t offended by this book!”  I didn’t know what it was about and all, but as I started reading my copy the other night, the beginning talks about hospitality and opening up your home for entertaining etc.  But anyway, my Mom could have written this book because she already has done those things for years, and does it awesome.  She has true Southern Hospitality and she throws the best birthday parties and get togethers at her home.  And she never has been “reluctant” about it once.  And she always blesses her neighbors with food from our parties and holidays.  She’s such a giving person and never asks for anything for herself.

She and I are a lot alike, and also different.  We both love pretty things around the house, flowers, birds, good food (although she is a way better cook and baker than me), the beach, God, shopping, reading (and she reads way more than me too), and some other things of course too.

We are different in that she is an avid football (and other sports) fan and even plays fantasy football. What the heck?!  I could care less about sports, especially football. Except tennis, and yes, tennis is a sport. :)  We are also different because she rarely even gets mad and she has patience.  Me, I do get mad and have a temper unfortunately.  You know when I am mad, but my Mom, she’s still sweet even if she is upset. :)

And here is me and my Mom last year on her birthday.

Isn’t she beautiful?  Love you Mom, and thank you for being a wonderful and caring mother.  You have always been there for me and have always helped me whenever I needed it.  You are so appreciated.

And here are the other lovely ladies in my life whom I love dearly too.  My sweet Mother-in-Law.

And my awesome grandmothers.

I could say the same about these ladies too as what I said about my Mom. Seriously.  Love you all!

And I couldn’t end this post without saying what a joy and blessing it is to actually be a mom myself now.  Sometimes I still think to myself “wow, I’m a mom!” when I look at my little girl.

That was us last year on my first Mother’s Day.  How awesome that was.  She’s the best thing that has happened to us and we are so fortunate to be reminded of that daily.

So happy Mother’s Day to all of you too–you are very loved!!
