Happy Mother's Day!

I approached this morning's laundry and clearing of the kitchen counter with more pomp and circumstance than usual, as I viewed each task as a celebration of motherhood. Sure, that might get old by lunchtime, but the sunshine and promise of a day filled with laughter in the company of my makers of messes fills me with joy right now. Celebrate yourself and the wonder that surrounds you today, and just wave a cheery hello at any dust bunnies that show up to wish you well...oh, that's just at my house? Whoops!

And now a message for my mom...We set the bar pretty high last year with silhouettes, seventies fashions and plaid, but also seemed to start a sort of trend...
Maybe one of us should vow to always wear a solid color?

This picture sits on my dresser and makes me smile every day!
Much love to you, Mom!

  15. Hi Andrea .. what lovely photos and such a good way of approaching mother's day - though it'd have been nice if it had been done for you! What colours did you wear this year?! Happy year ahead to you both .. Hilary
