I feel like you cannot fully appreciate mother's day until you are a mother. We always celebrated mother's day growing up with a card, gift, and normally making breakfast for mom. I always enjoyed doing those things and do love my mom, but now after being a mother I can appreciate my mother event more. It amazes me what we moms do on a daily (hourly) basis to take care of and love their children. I know that my mom did these things and more for my sister and I and I hope she knows how much I am thankful for that. (she will now as she is a follower)
I had the best first mother's day. It started with breakfast at home, a stroll and picnic through the conservatory and zoo, and ended with a yummy dinner at home. My favorite part of the day was my husband's reaction to all the families at the conservatory and zoo. You see my husband thought he came up with the most original idea of going to the conservatory. I just had to giggle a little bit. It didn't bother me that it was a common mother's day activity because it is something I love doing. Anything to get outside and walk around downtown. I was hoping that Adalyn was going to give me the gift of sleep, but no such luck, in fact she had one of her worst nights of sleeping. Oh well, she made up for it with all of her smiles! The big open mouth kind, my favorite! Maybe the sleeping through the night will be my birthday gift.
Anyone else have a great mother's day? And now I need to think about father's day...
Oh yeah, and Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the moms! I think mother's should be celebrated a bit more often. :)
