Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers in the world. I personally don't believe we should have only one day to honor our mothers. Every day is a gift and life is too short to take any of our family and friends for granted. Being a mother myself, I know what a precious gift this is. I am honored to be mother to two beautiful daughters and my oldest daughter is now pregnant with my first grandchild. I'd like to share a few pictures of my mother and my grandmothers with you. They are all wonderful women and even though my grandmothers are now residing in Heaven, they remain special in my heart. My heart also goes out to all men and women who no longer have their mothers. I watched my mother when she lost my grandmother and cannot even begin to understand how hard that must be. I'm very close with both of my parents and try to spend time with them whenever I can, since I know how short life can be.

Now I'll share some pictures of me with my daughters. They are so special to me and being a mom to them has been the most wonderful experience in my life.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity. She can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed." - The book of Proverbs, from Your Best Life Now for Mom's by Joel Osteen.

Date Night

My husband surprised me by having an unplanned date night! I love it when that happens! After work on Friday, we ordered takeout for dinner - Mexican food since I didn't get to have that for Cinco de mayo.

After eating, we decided to go to Jazz Fest, on the public square of my town. The celebration lasts all weekend, but I wanted to go on Friday night. I have an undying love for live music and jazz music has to be one of my favorites. It was a lovely night to be out on the town.

After spending a few hours enjoying the music and atmosphere, we decided to go to the mall for Mother's Day shopping. Since I am having lunch with my mom and sister on Saturday, I was in a rush to get my mother's present. Bath and Body works never disappoints me. I was able to get a nice gift and get it wrapped in the store. Excellent!

It was a nice evening with my favorite guy!
