Feeling so Loved and Blessed

Mother’s Day this year was nothing short of amazing, my boys greeted me with warm wishes, setting the tone for a day filled with love and surprises. To add to the sweetness of the day, our miniature schnauzer, July, snuggled up with me, making the morning even more special.

 My husband outdid himself to make the day unforgettable. He whipped up a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs, and fried rice before whisking me away for a day of shopping. We found the perfect pair of Women’s Only Cloudswift sneakers, which I heard rave reviews about from friends and nurses at work.

 But the surprises did not stop there. As we wandered through the shops, I was captivated by the vibrant hues of Bogg bags, with countless options to select from! I narrowed my choices to three stunning colors: coral, periwinkle, and seafoam. Unable to decide, I sent out a quick poll via text to my children and a few friends for their opinions. Taking their feedback into account, I settled on seafoam green.

 My daughter surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a delicious bundt cake. For dinner, we enjoyed a delightful meal at Addison’s South, indulging in fried sweet potato chips and dip and a succulent 10 oz marinated and grilled strip steak.

 To top off the evening, we walked to Sparky’s Homemade Ice Cream for a sweet treat. I had double scoops of mango ice cream, a bit too much considering my weight loss goals!

 Despite the indulgence, I felt like a pampered queen surrounded by the love of my family. They are my greatest blessing, and I am grateful for the love and joy they bring into my life each day. I know this phase will eventually end and my children will celebrate Mother’s Day on their own. For now, every moment with them is precious.

Cheers to the incredible women who shape our lives with love and devotion!
