Happy Mother's Day!

Why just celebrate a special occasion on ONE day? I have always been a fan of making it a 'weekend' or 'week' affair and when it comes to Christmas, a 'month' affair. I love to celebrate and will use any occasion as an excuse to celebrate more. Since Mother's Day is a special one for me :), I definitely got to celebrate all weekend. Ryan took off half a day on Friday and I headed to Austin with two of my dear friends, Genny and Melissa for a girls shopping trip! We were able to shop all afternoon on Friday, go out to a fun dinner and then shop all day on Saturday. I was absolutely exhausted from the constant shopping. I really can't remember when I was tired of shopping. I was pooped, but had a wonderful time! This was only my second night away from Pierson so I was ready to get back and see my baby. I returned to a happy baby and an amazing hubby holding down the fort. Sunday started off by Starbucks and flowers and the Mother's Day "stocking" filled with fun little treats. Oh, my husband knows me so well! We went to church, had lunch, spent a low key afternoon together and ended the day with my fave, Ninfa's. Seriously, how blessed can one mommy be! Being a mom is absolutely wonderful. It definitely has is challenges, but at the end of the day, the rewards are always so much greater.

My little blessing :)

Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mother who has taught me so much about being a mom and to my mother-in-law for raising such an amazing husband who knows how to make a mom feel special on Mother's Day!
