I cherish it all.
On this day we honor Mothers. Mothers of all kinds. We honor all women who have influences us one way or another. We honor Grandmothers, Aunts, Sisters and friends. I am so lucky to have such a large tribe of increible Mothers around me and I most grateful for these three sweet children who made me a Mother.
This year, we celebrate Grandma Reed. It is her first Mother's Day in heaven and we miss her a little extra on this particular day but we're so grateful that she is celebrating Mother's Day with her three beautiful babies who went to heaven before her who finally get to have her with them on this day.
We celebrate Grandma Hawryluk too. She is the sweetest woman on earth! We stopped by for a super short outdoor porch visit and just to see her smiling face made my Mother's Day that much more special. She is one incredible woman who has absolutely influenced me for the better.
We celebrate Grandma Mockler who is spending Mother's Day with hmy mom and getting spoiled with a Ham dinner. My favourite thing about her is all her funny childhood stories, she was such a curious little girl and these stories will be passed down for generations to come!
We celebrate Grandma June who, to this day, holds the crafting title. Who is funny and witty and always makes me laugh. She is kind and sweet and I hope I get to see her again once this pandemic stops. I miss her more than she knows.
We celebrate Grandma Donnelly too. Although we haven't seen her in years, she has had an influence on me and often when I am cleaning or cooking while my family sits around me relaxing, I think of her. She did that the whole time last time we visited. I would offer to help and she would just tell me to sit down and relax. I often think about that.
There are so many woman who have influenced me and my motherhood journey. My tribe of friends who allow me to vent, who love me without judgment and who are always there when I need someone to cry with or laugh with and they get my sarcasims when it comes to parenting. They are my people and I love them so much!!
My mother in law also holds a special place in my heart. She is so loving and kind. She has an abundance of Christlike love and she is always showing it. She is the first to bring dinner over on those hard or exhausting days. I know she loves our family so much. She has given me words of wisdom in my motherhood journey and I cherish her more than she knows. Happy Mother's Day Mom Reed, I love you!
My Mom occupies a special place in my heart. One that cannot be filled by any other human and one that would be void without her. This past year and a half, her life has been flipped upside down. It has been hard and it has brought many challenges. She is and always has been so brave and strong. This year has made me have moments of missing her so much. Mom, you mean the world to me. I am gratful for you and I am so lucky to have you in my corner. On this day, I hope you know how loved you are. I love you Mom, Happy Mothers Day!
Today, I was woken up by tiny voices whispering to Brian in our bed about how excited they were for me to open their gifts that they got for me. They couldn't wait. Carter, Bentley and Penny have the biggest hearts in the whole wide world! I felt so loved by them and am so grateful everyday for them!
They spoiled me with special gifts that were so personal to them. Bentley made me an "Amung us" game. Its a video game that he loves to play but he made into a real life game. He took so much time making all the characters and scenarios and I am really impressed. We played a few rounds and it was SO FUN! We all laughed and yelled and I can't wait to play it again! He also got me the game "sushi go" which I've heard is a great card game! We will be playing it tonight! He also made me an adorable little hanging thing at school. Man I love this kid!
Penny was so thoughtful too. She wrapped a perfectly cute little box that was filled with her love. Alllll her love! How cute is that! She also picked out a bunch of things for us to do an at home spa together. It was a cucumber eyes filled morning with my girl and it was perfect! Love you Penny girl!
Carter's gift meant more than he thought. Carter dislikes handwritting, like, alot. His teacher asked them to write a long poem about their mother IN HANDWRITTING! He did such a good job. Even though he doesn't like doing it, he did it so well, for me. Love that guy! He also got me another game called "Bears vs Babies" and it looks so funny. We are going to play it tonight too!
I am also a Mama to this little fur ball and although I do actually (secretly) love him, he drives me BONKERS sometimes. Kobe is legit a GREAT dog on paper. He has no accidents, no longer has a crate and just roams freely around the house. He doesn't get into things and has finally started using his porch potty which means our lawn will stay pee and poop free forever! He is smart and loving and really, so good BUUUUUUTTTTT Kobe must be around me 24/7. He is like another toddler. If I go to the bathroom, he will sit outside the door and wait for me. If I am sitting on the couch, he sits with me. If I get up to just grab a drink and then go back to the couch.. he follows me. It drives me crazy. Lucky for him, he's cute.
Brian made us a delishous steak dinner tonight AND is cleaning the kicten with the kids while I get to blog and relax. I am so thankful for Brian. He spoiled me too. He has been so sweet and catoring to me all day long. Treating me like a queen and taking care of all the bickering between the kids. He spoiled me with a really fun little cannon photo printer and I am excited to start printing little snippits of our most random memories. How fun! We are watching a comedy tonight (YAY!!). He is the man of my dream.. he is killing it this Mother's Day!
Last but most certainly not least, I am so thankful to be a Mom. I am so grateful for these three sweet spirits who came to grace our family. I couldn't imagine my life without them. Each their own lovely little personalities that make my life so grand. They are who I live for. I need them just as much as they need me.
Mother's Day is the reminder of this great divine calling that I have been given and I cherish it so much. The good, the bad, the gross and cringworthy moments. I cherish it all.
I am so thankful for this wonderful world of Motherhood that I get to experience. There is nothing I wouldn't do for them. Mother's really do have a specail place in this world.
Thank you to my kids and Brian for making this day special. I feel so loved.
