a belated mother's day and smocks...

5.16.2006

I wanted to post a quick note to wish everyone a belated Happy Mother's Day. I worked all weekend and didn't get a chance to send my wishes to everyone. I hope all the moms got some much deserved tlc and r & r. I was treated to a lovely breakfast, some beautiful handmade cards, my first kid written "happy mother's day" and a sesame street puzzle and Disney Princess Memory Game ( i asked dan to let the girls pick out my presents).
One of the most amazing things that happened after becoming a mother was looking at annie and feeling all this amazing amount of love for her. More love than I ever realized existed in me or anywhere in the world. One day I looked at her and then my parents and realized that they also love me this much. It really changed how I felt about my parents, but also how I felt about myself, how lucky I am to be loved that much.
Just a little belated mother's day thought for you all. Give your kids a big hug and kiss and the call your mom and dad and thank them for loving you!

On the crafting front the May Tie One On theme is smocks you can wear out. Here are some links to inspiration:

It appears the links all went to main page so just click around.
