Mothers
I am lucky to have a wonderful mother, mother in law, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, cousins and friends who are constant reminders of what great mothers are made of.
What a wonderful idea to have a day to honor mothers. After all - it is by far the hardest job around.
Happy Mothers day to all you mom's out there. We all deserve a little pampering today.
I have been blessed to have inherited a mother in law that is so kind and fun to be around. She spoils me and my kids and is so helpful and kind.
Happy Mothers day to my mom especially. Thank you for being a great example to me and for always being there for me and my family. Love you!

Unconditional Love
“Whatever they grow up to be, they are still our children, and the one most important of all the things we can give to them is unconditional love. Not a love that depends on anything at all except that they are our children.”

Love Life
I recently purchased this book and I love reading it. I have read it over and over again in the short 2 weeks I've had it. This book contains some of the best quotes and life reminders I've ever read.
Love Life by Dan Zadra, if you have the chance to pick it up, do!
love new things
The firsts go away -
first love, first baby,
first kiss, you have to
create new ones.

The quote that haunts me
My cousin Marta posted this quote a few months back and it has haunted me ever since.
When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.

A Little Life Reminder
This last weekend Jake, Sam, and I were invited to our first official play date. My cousin Heidi hosted a great afternoon for us. We had toys galore, 7 little kids, a delicious salad and the best homemade applesauce ever!
Heidi is the mother of 4 beautiful girls. She had twin girls about 6 months before I had Jake. I have been in awe of her ever since. The way she handles all those girls (I believe she had 4 under the age of 4 when the twins were born) amazes me. Heidi is always positive, always willing to help others even though I'm sure her hands are full (although you wouldn't realize it by talking to her). She is someone who I think of often when I'm having crazy days with my kids, and someone I look up to and want to be like myself one of these days. Even with 4 small kids she has time to redo her house and bake up a storm. The applesauce was amazing!
On her kitchen window seal she had the cutest picture of her husband and herself on their wedding day and a quote that was framed. It was the greatest quote I've seen in awhile, and one I needed to read at this exact moment in my life. Heidi told me she has to read it daily to keep her sane and to remember what is important. I fully agree and intend to get this written up and framed so I can look at it daily also.
"The biggest mistake I made is..... I did not live in the moment enough. I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing; dinner, bath, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less."

Thanks Heidi for the great afternoon and for the great example of what being a mother is really all about!
