I hope all my mama friends had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Mine was lovely.
Waffles, cuddles, playtime and books, sweet cards from the babies, a beautiful necklace, chocolates, and time to paint my nails…
…a long shower, a few moments to organize my craft area a bit… and a delicious home-cooked dinner (I cooked it. But I love to cook. And my sweet husband did the dishes, as always, which I appreciate every day he’s home).
…but mostly, spending a quiet day with the three people I love most in the world, all together… was the most wonderful thing.
Topher, my best friend, my awesome partner in life, and the most wonderful co-parent.
Anneliese, who I had wanted for as long as I can remember, who made me a mama, and who continues to make my heart grow every day.
Joseph, who I’m just getting to know, but who has always belonged in our family, and who I love fiercely and deeply already.
I couldn’t have asked for a better Mother’s Day.
Hi! I'm Emily. I'm a Navy wife and stay at home mom of two beautiful children. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate my home on a budget, and keep a happy household. I tandem breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, practice elimination communication, homebirth, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
It truly is the simple things that make us smile. I too, made our dinner on Mother’s Day, but I love to cook as well. I am happiest when my husband and kids are all seated around our table, enjoying conversation and laughs together, while I cook.
I totally agree. We had a laid back & low key day of family and yard work, and it was perfect.
Glad to see you had a great day!
Your baby has a black diaper? That is so unexpectedly awesome! Kind of like the baby equivalent of Ray-Bans B-)
It’s the simple things we mothers enjoy about this day. My children are grown now and my eldest will be a first time mother in August and I love that I now get to watch my child have her own child. Mothering, never ending greatness.
