I had the best day ever. I was woken up with the kiddies smiling over me with lots of gifts. Of course Todd did awesome and the kids did too! Lots of memories were made in the making of some of my gifts :) We went to brunch with both familes at City Oyster - had a wonderful meal, terrible service and lots of yummy mimosas!!! Came home, I NAPPED ( yes you read that right ), relaxed and Todd cooked dinner for me the kiddies my parents and brother :) It was a wonderful, relaxing, rainy day. I would have had it no other way :)
Happy Mothers Day to my mom. My mom is the best mom in the entire world. I promise that. My friends know her as Mama Jill, my husband loves her, and my kids are obsessed with her. Shes the definition of being there for me. From the good and the bad, she is my number 1 fan - and I am hers. From my crazy decisions ive made in the past, to almost going broke ( literally! ) just to plan my dream wedding for me - and thats what it was, a dream. I love you Mom - because i know you are reading this - and hope you had the best day ever!
My Mother in Law. The person who people remind me daily, how lucky I am to have, and I agree. I never thought marrying into a family would be so easy. and she did that for me. Thanks for being such a great mom to me, to my husband and an amazing Mama to the kids!
To my mommy friends. Mothers Day is just a holiday but it truly is a day to for us to shine, for all that we do. I sometimes cant picture my life before being a mom. I know sometimes our day consist of tamtrums, potty accidents, food fights, nap fights, oh shit moments, and lots of yawns - but we really are the luckiest mommies in the world. Think about what we get to do. We are raising our precious angels on a daily basis, spending all day doing what makes them happy, and making memories all at the same time. From mommy and me classes, to swimming dates, I sometimes have to sit back and pinch myself that this is my life. It seems so surreal and I feel so lucky.
That takes me to Todd. I know its "Mothers" Day but I couldnt live this life if it wasnt for Todd. He is the reason Im a mom and the reason I get to be the mom I am. He works so hard so that I can live this life, and I am FOREVER greatful for him. Everyday I wake up and get to spend the day with the kids and do everything for them, I remind myself to be thankful to him, because I am where I am, because of him. Thanks for being the husband and dad you are, you have made me a better person.
Mothers Day really is such a special holiday. I received so many beautiful cards, a phone call at 8:30 in the morning from Blair, and the most beautiful gifts from Todd, the kids and my family - and im so thankful for them all. On days like this, the important people in your life really show up. It means alot when you are a mom and people acknowledge it. Every text, phone call and card telling me Happy Mothers Day, or what a great mom I am...really makes my heart smile. I get giddy when I get to send my friends Mothers Day cards! Everyone should feel special on this day!
Well....im off to bed. I had a busy weekend in Disney - I will blog about that in a few days, and a VERY busy 2 weeks ahead!!! Colin turns 1 and Todd turns 30 - enough said!!!!
LOVE YOU ALL. Happy Mothers Day to all of the moms reading this. <3
