Happy Mother's Day

Although I believe that we should show our mom's every day why they are so special to us, it's still nice to be spoiled on Mother's Day. And that's why this year was so perfect.

This year I was able to sleep in (until 8:30am, but still - it was all I wanted). I enjoyed eggs, toast and sausages from chef Roger for brunch (who, it should be noted, makes the worst eggs I've ever tasted - but I loved them anyway).  Mya and I painted her bird house a variety of colours. I took a trip to the store with Jasper to buy a tiller to work up my vegetable garden. I took a trip for ice cream with my best gal, Mya. And I spent the afternoon enjoying the sunshine and watching my husband and kids get my garden ready for planting. Mya and I wore our summer dresses and we thoroughly enjoyed the day.

Yesterday was a fantastic day that was only made better today when my Mother's Day gift arrived - a personalized cookie jar for my counter :)

Here's a snapshot of what my Mother's Day looked like

Thank you Mya and Jasper for giving me the greatest gift I could have ever asked for - being your mom.

And to all the mom's out there - especially my own mom and mother-in-law, Happy Mother's Day.
