Happy Mother's Day Y'all! Just a few of my favorite mother & child pictures (excluding all animal mother and child pics - there were just too many). Obviously, the last one is yours truly getting a big ole juicy smooch from my Edward. I can never get enough of them. The picture above that is of another famous mother-daughter duo, The Suze and little me. She's coming in town in a couple of hours and I'm so excited! We have plans to go to a Mother's Day brunch at Powell Gardens. I've never been but always wanted to go. Hopefully, we get some more amazing pictures of Edward smelling the flowers like he did when we went to the Dallas Arboretum. Smelling flowers is serious business for that child.
And finally, I'm going to try something new this Mother's Day. Last year, I was feeling a bit sorry for myself because I didn't feel like I got a big enough celebration of my mother-ness (I mean, a parade would have been nice). Honestly, with that attitude, I will always be disappointed. I know that I am very, very lucky to be a mommy, and especially to Edward, so I'm going to sit down and write him a letter telling him so. (I'm sure I got this idea from Pinterest). I never want to take for granted how lucky I am to have the best job in the world and I want him to always know how much I love him and love being his mother. By changing my perspective, I've managed to ensure that I will never again be disappointed on Mother's Day because I'm truly blessed. Hopefully, I can make it a tradition for years to come.
I hope all of y'all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend, and to my friends whose mama's can't be with them (I have far too many) just know that I'm thinking about you and I will gladly lend you The Suze, as long as you can provide her with crushed ice and a DVR full of Bravo reality shows (I know, such a diva).
