Mother’s Day
It’s mother’s day, and Brandon and the kids took me out for a nice brunch at McCormick & Schmick’s. The kids were.. mostly good, I guess. But let’s please do this at noon or later next time so Mommy can get a mimosa and maybe stress out less. 😉 My dad’s marker finally got placed, so I wanted to be sure and place some flowers there. After brunch, the fam tagged along as I bought some flowers and made an arrangement. We delivered it later this afternoon....

My favorite bit was his answer to “The hardest part about being a mom would be”: “Wrcking at Red Hat all...

That should help, right? 😉 Afterward, we went over to Laurel Hills and took a little nature walk by the pond and through the woods. Brian...

Both of the kids’ schools had events to celebrate Mother’s Day today! I’m not always able to make it to daytime events, but this year, I was able to! Brian’s class invited us moms to come by in the morning to receive our special gifts–a clay pendant, and a beautiful artwork of flowers in a vase! Brian’s teacher said these were suitable for framing, and I think I will absolutely have to do that. Brian’s picture shows such amazing detail, I can tell...
