Happy Mother's Day!



"...be a joyful mother of children."  
Psalm 113:9

Well I have to be honest, some days I am not joyful with life's mundane tasks, but then one of these girls does something silly or sweet or loving & I snap out of my "pity party".  I am joyful to have these beauties in my life & that I get to be their mom.  Like I've said before, I'm a lucky mommy.  I read on a website today, "Bask in Your Blessings, Glow with Gratitude, Marinate in Motherhood." Most days I am all too familiar with "marinating in motherhood" and long for a little "me" time, even if it's 15 minutes on the couch with a cold diet coke.  Ah, the simple things in life!  Once I catch my breath, then I'm good to go providing for my girls.  Just a quick shout out to my mom, thanks for always being there for me & teaching me to pull myself up by the boot straps and march on!  I'm so thankful to be able to pick up the phone whenever I need to &  chat with you. Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day Celebration at CHA

The Brunette & Me


Georgia's letter to me

We are so lucky to have a wonderful Christian school close to home. Actually, I don't believe in luck, everything is part of God's perfect plan for us. Luck is God's plan. God planned for us to send Georgia to Chapel Hill Academy, where she is nearly finished with 1st grade. Today, the 1st graders recited a poem to the moms & they sang "You are So Beautiful" and they signed the song as they sang. It was quite precious & Georgia sang so confidently! I'm so proud of her. The kids served us fruit and a beverage. They made a pop-up box & when I opened it, out popped "I Love You" and each child wrote their mom a letter. I love my letter and I love Georgia! I am a lucky mommy!
