we should always be thankful for our moms. we should always try to do nice things for them. today is no exception...but today is the perfect opportunity to do something that makes them feel special and something that makes them remember how much they are loved.
since having kingston i have grown extra close with my mom. i guess that's only natural. my mom is a pro and being a mom, so i've relied on her mom advice, her nurse advice, and her love. it's been such a great journey being a mom, and i hope my mom felt the same when i came along as her first born!
today we are having some family over for mother's day brunch. my mom & dad, my sisters, cameron's mom and dad, his grandma, and my oma. it's going to be amazing. i'm already excited for it! we're going to be enjoying some wonderful "mom food" which means, not just bacon! i have a delicious menu planned out and i hope everything turns out as planned. i've got my fingers crossed...
to my mom - thank you for everything you do for me, for my family, and especially for kingston. you've been such an integral part of our lives. i appreciate the love, the assistance, and the guidance. i am thankful to have you in my life, and i'm so thankful to be your daughter. i haven't always been an easy child (although...in comparison to my sisters i'm fantastic...bahaha, j/k girls), but i hope you feel the same as i do about the last few years...they've been such a great bonding time for us and i hope things only get better. love you lots mom! xo
to my mother-in-law louise - thank you for being so wonderful. i (and a handful of my friends) always say i was blessed with the world's greatest mother-in-law....she doesn't have a flaw! thank you for all you help us with (meals, babysitting, and house work). our lives would be difficult without you. thank you for making me feel special, thank you for making me feel loved, and thank you for making me feel like a real martyn. i love you! xo
and kingston...my sweet precious little boy. you absolutely light up my life. i never knew my purpose in life until you were born. you're the light of my life and without a doubt being your mom is the best part of my day. you're a blessing of a baby. your smiles, your giggles, your kisses, and your love...it's the best feeling in the world. thank you to your daddy for helping create such a lovely piece of perfection. i love you baby! xoxo
so for mother's day this year, not only am i thankful to have such a great mom, i'm even more thankful to be a mom!
i hope all of the mom's out there have a great day. enjoy it, milk it, relax, and take time to think about you. you deserve it!
