Love and Marriage

And A Baby Carriage.

Hopefully next Mother’s Day I’ll be a real mom

matthew

Yesterday we had to celebrate Mother’s Day a bit early with one of my mother-in-law’s (Guy’s step-mom) because she is going out of town today. There just so happened though, to be a gift on the table for me as well, from a very special three-year old, Matthew.

Matthew gave me a nice candle holder set and some yummy smelling votives to go in them. But the best part? The card. And yes, he had some help writing his name.

I forgot to take a picture of the left side, but you can slightly see a little drawing poking out. It was a bunch of squiggles and Matthew said to me very matter-of-factly, “It’s a flag.” He is so funny.
I hope everyone has a fabulous Mother’s Day and a great weekend.

    I am looking forward to Mother’s Day. We are planning to surprise my mom and grandma with a visit. We have not been up to my grandma’s in a couple of years because she has cats and my son is allergic to them. Hi from the SITStahood.

    Hey, reading Sher Bailey’s heartwarming stories about Mother’s Day, the power of humor, and kids’ drawings that look like flags was draining, so I turned to spinmacho app to clear my head. In Greece we get exclusive rewards and on Wolf Gold I hit a win. It was the perfect mental break to recharge and escape the routine with ease.
