Mother's Day

I love being a Mom. Sure it can be frustrating sometimes but I don't know what I would do with myself if a didn't have my little ones to look after- being an empty-nester sounds horrifying at this point. Having a holiday to celebrate something I honestly LOVE doing is like icing on the cake.

The highlight of this year was seeing my 2 little brothers, Dad, and Husband, scrambling around the kitchen in an effort to put dinner together. Priceless. I thought it very sweet of John (who doesn't cook) to try and make the "buffins" (a cross between biscuits and muffins). They definitely turned out different, but honestly not bad- nothing a little honey butter couldn't fix (though John thought they tasted like play dough).
My youngest brother Tommy made a salad which was equally endearing. It was a spring mix topped with a medley of carrots, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese and strawberries. Once again, interesting, but not bad.

Thank you boys for a fabulous Mother's Day! John also got me a bouquet of green roses (my favorite color- though Tommy joked that they weren't ripe yet) and a lovely card.

Another special thanks to my own mother who is an exemplary example to me of what a mother ought to be. She is thoughtful, creative, lovely, self-sacrificing, self disciplined, kind, and a wonderful cook. I love you mama!
