Mother's Day

I'm so grateful that I have such amazing mothers to celebrate this mother's day. There's my actual mom, and then my mother-in-law. 

The older I get, the more my relationship with these women changes. My mom is honestly one of my best friends. I would rather hang out with her more than friend's my own age. I've learned so much from her and the two of us are very similar, so she's always able to make me feel better. She's such an amazing woman who's so strong, funny, and smart. I love her so much and hope to be half the mom she is one day. 

Then there's my mother in law. I'd be lying if I didn't say that this relationship has been a struggle for me at times. She's very different from my own mom and it's taken awhile for me to get past my own prejudices and the past. However, we're getting closer and closer, and I'm so thankful for that. She's a very loving woman and is always working for ways to serve. She gives her love to everyone and just wants to laugh with everyone. She always wants to make sure that we're doing alright, and makes great food and knows all of the home remedies for things. I'm so thankful for all the work she did to raise an amazing son and make sure he treats me right. 


For Mother's Day this year, all of the boys cooked my mom breakfast for lunch, which was fun. It's so great seeing all of them interact in the kitchen together, and I hope that we can make this a tradition. They seriously make THE best breakfast food. Yum!


I'm thankful for such amazing women in my life and hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day!

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
