Are we not like two volumes of one book?
-Marceline Desbordes-Valmore-
I got to spend Mother's Day with some incredible ladies...my mama, my Gram and my (much older) sister. A few years ago we decided to make it easy on the guys and enjoy some peace and pampering on Mother's Day with a nice meal and a matinee, just the girls. The tradition stuck, and ever since we've been enjoying spill-free, tattle-free, macaroni-up-the-nose-free Mother's Days away!
These girls each carry their own strengths, and each have contributed so much to who I am as a woman today. When I feel myself sinking, I'm never surprised to find one of them there to pull me up again. Honestly, everything I do right as a mother is because of my mom and the incredible example she's set for me. I'm proud to celebrate her and to celebrate being a mom to my two little beauties who fill each day with laughter and color and song. Though all the days are not easy, ALL the days are precious.
And I am grateful.
Thanks, mom, for who you are and who you inspire me to be.
Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children;
now I have six children, and no theories.

Thanks Cari, but you inspire me just as much. Just think, in a couple of years there will be two more strong women that we add to our Mother's Day pampering. And don't forgt the strong women that came before us. It's a legacy. Love you Cordelia.
