Happy Mother's Day Weekend

That's right in our house it isn't just Mother's Day it a weekend. And I love it! It's my favorite time of year, way better then my birthday. I was supposed to go to a crop(a scrap booking thing) but Eric had to work late Saturday. So when he came home I said see ya and headed out shopping....wait for it....BY MY SELF! WAHOO! and it was great! I bought, some fabric for our chairs I'm redoing, a skirt(the fabric was adorable and only $3.00/yd) and some prints for shorts I'm making for caden. Anyways after going to several stores and spoiling myself(thank you stimulus check) I came home and Eric had dinner going, Chicken Kabobs, sweet potatoes and rolls.



Delicious and I didn't have to do a thing. And for an awesome dessert homemade chocolate covered strawberries, the absolute best!



Actual Mother's day started out with a bang, literally, there was the craziest storm and crazy car accident, an incident helping people out and this all before 6 am. Church was great, received carnations. Came home hung out, received a really sweet card with music, that caden won't stop playing and is now learning the words to the song in the card.




As most mother's day's go it's a tradition to go to KFC and eat it at the park. Well we decided to forgo this because the playgrounds would be drenched and try a new recipe Sausage primavera. Delicious! But, I now see why my mom always wanted to do KFC, no clean up and no mess. All in all a pretty decent mother's day!

I love being a mom and everything that goes with it. The pregnancy, the pain, the laughter. There is nothing more frustrating and more joyful then my little man Caden and without him I would not know the true joy of life. I love the wonderful examples of mom's I have in my life, my mother is the most compassionate selfless woman I know. And my mother in law Connie is by far the strongest, most passionate and loving woman! They both are incredible woman I strive to be.



So, happy mother's day to all you woman out there, it is a day to be grateful and proud for all the hard work and sacrifice we put in as moms!
