each mother's day morning my kids come into my room with arms full of homemade cards, construction paper artwork and hand picked flowers. they bring me my very favorite breakfast, eggs benedict and roasted potatoes, and pile into my bed eager to watch me open their gifts. later in the day we venture off to the local nursery and fill a cart with flowers and plants, pots and soil and then return home to spend the afternoon outside planting and re-potting, listening to records and drinking iced cold lemonade and sangria. it's a day to feel a little pampered, enjoy my family without the day to day distractions and a day off from changing diapers.
how do you celebrate your mother? or are you a mother and now celebrate with your own kids? do you have any mothers day traditions?

. they seem to be loving it. plenty of leg room and a nice nesting area upstairs for when they want to be alone. if you look closely you may notice a few scratches on the front of their new house. one of our dogs, popcorn aka the weasel, has been trying to get inside. she was pretty determined the first week or so but is finally starting to lose interest. this is good.
has been a great tool for our preparations this spring. i really like this book and feel like i know what i'm doing this time around.
