For Mother’s Day I wanted to share one of my favorite pictures of my daughter which was taken on her 8th birthday.  I love her sweet expression and her big beautiful eyes which are just like her Aunt Ashley’s.  She is so adorable and makes every day special.  She knows I love things that smell good so for Mother’s Day she requested that her Dad drive her to Pier 1 so she could buy my present.  She gave me a beautiful reed diffuser that smells just like the Ocean. 

For Mother’s Day I hope if you still have your Mom in your life you will remind her why she is so special. I will be talking about my Mom this morning when I lead the Children’s Sermon at church.  She taught me many things but one thing in particular that stands out is how from the time I could write, she taught me to express my gratitude by sending a thank you note.  That is something I will always treasure and have even taught my daughter to do the same. The Little Write Gal has her own set of monogrammed notecards for thank-you-note writing.  My Mom also taught me how to be a good mother by setting a wonderful example.  I LOVE YOU MOM!  :)

Happy Mother’s Day!

Make your Mom smile by giving her flowers this Mother’s Day!

If you still have not decided what to get your Mom for Mother’s Day,  consider giving her fresh flowers.  I LOVE fresh flowers and have always enjoyed the beauty and fragrance of having them in my home.  No matter what kind of day I am having, fresh flowers make me smile and make my day brighter. They are a perfect gift that I love to give and receive. Did you know that 90% of fresh-cut flowers purchased in the United States come from Colombia?  Chances are this Mother’s Day the flowers you give and/or receive will be from this beautiful country.

I was thrilled to have been chosen to participate in the “Mommy Wants Flowers” Mother’s Day contest sponsored by Columbia, Land of Flowers.  Each participant received 20 gorgeous Gerbera daisies, a mug, and other supplies which were needed to create the “Mom is Tops” Topiary you see pictured here.  The Little Write Gal presented my topiary with a “First Place” Ribbon because she said that no matter if I won the contest,  I was always a winner to her.  Awwww!!!! She was delighted to make a video in support of her Mom.  This is actually our second take because I was crying all during the first one.   Enjoy!

 


 

I would like to thank Columbia, Land of Flowers, for the opportunity to be a part of this wonderful Mother’s Day experience.   Happy Mother’s Day!

What’s in your Easter basket?

One of my favorite things about Easter is putting together the Little Write Gal’s Easter basket.  Every year she gets a bathing suit in her basket, which has been a tradition since her very first Easter.  This year there also was a chocolate bunny, earrings, 12 lip glosses, and some adorable reversible headbands from Keeks and Brie

What’s in your Easter basket?  Happy Easter!

Notes to Self

pen11.  Remove all Sharpie pens from junk drawer as this is not an acceptable pen choice for the Little Write Gal to use to write Mommy a note.

2.  Explain that when using a Sharpie, that the ink is permanent and you must put the paper up against something other than the kitchen countertops or the ink will bleed though.

3. Never ever EVER buy another house with white countertops.  What insane person would want white countertops?

4.  Start piggy bank fund now to replace countertops.

Happy Birthday Holly!

Today is The Little Write Gal’s birthday! Make sure you leave her some comment love & birthday wishes! It is hard to believe that my baby is 8 years old. It seems like yesterday she was still crawling around.  Time goes by SO fast!  And if you are wondering, yes her eyelashes really are that long!  She gets those from her Dad and unfortunately not from me.

These are some of the pictures from our recent photo shoot with my AWESOME photographer, Sally Ervin-Mabry. If you are local you should really give her a call. Her pictures are phenomenal. I especially like that she does Senior pictures. You can check out some of her Senior pics on her blog.

Happy Birthday Holly!

aka Mommy
