HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!
I had the sweetest morning! My husband went out and hand picked a beautiful bouquet of flowers fresh from our gardens. Then he and the girls made me a fruit plate for breakfast, complete with my own little coffee tray. They let me relax on the couch while he handled breakfast for everyone.
My favorite gift was a baby blue spruce we bought the day before that he dug a hole and we planted in the front yard. My husbands family has a tradition of a Christmas Tree Lighting at their house, they invite the neighborhood to come enjoy drinks and they light up the tree each year up in his hometown of Brick, NJ. Now, we have our very own to carry on that Christmas Tradition!! We also had bought some fresh herbs that we potted.
Another special moment was finding a sweet teeny tiny praying mantis in our front flower bed. It felt so special to see the tiny little creature and I feel so blessed to have it choose my bed as it’s home. Overall the day was just so much fun, and so special. It was sunny and a perfect 70*. The kids were good and happy and I got to eat my favorite meals for the week of quinoa/lentil pilaf with hummus and bisque with tempeh.
Wishing all the Mom’s out there a very Happy Mother’s Day!!
