   not too upbeat, but it’s honest and from the heart. my most poignant mothers day was in 2000, i had had a pre-term delivery in december – our 1st child. it was way too early. no hope. i hope and pray that you can not know the depth of my/our grief. however, the world kept spinning and everyone continued to have a life. after the 1st week or so no one made mention or acknowledged the loss of our son. my 1st born. everyone expected me to just go on, pick up where i left off, and move on. i tried to get on with life, always mindful, always remembering, always sad. ffwd to that fateful mothers day. nothing. nada. zilch. not even an acknowldgement as to what the day was. dh reasoning? he didn’t want to remind me, make me sad, blah, blah, blah. lots of tears. lots of loud words. a horrible day. a horrible feeling. i was a mom. he was a dad. we just had empty arms. to this day, no one ever speaks of our 1st child (except me on occasion) but he’s always there.
   happily, we did not have a repeat the following year, mostly i suspect, because i was heavily pregnant with our daughter. we’ve added 2 more girls to the bunch and our family is full. sorry this is maudlin, hope i don’t bring down the happiness curve. i truly do love mother’s day and i truly relish being a mommy. sometimes it’s funny what it is that hits you and makes you know that you are really a parent.

   happy mother’s day to all! it’s the hardest job you’ll ever love.

   My “ideal” Mother’s Day would be to have a gift certificate to my favorite nursery and to spend the morning shopping for flowers for my garden and then spend the sunny, warm afternoon planting them in my garden with my husband and boys helping me. Maybe just the boys would be helping and my husband would be making fuity drinks in the blender. Yum!

   Gorgeous card Lauren! My dream day would be sleeping in, going shopping at a fav stamp store, supper out and lots of stamping!

4. Lisa C. May 12th, 2007 at 12:15 pm 4

   beautiful card. My ideal mother’s day happened last year and will happen again this year, I am woken up to breakfast in bed, the kids have thier cards and gifts, I open all of them, then they leave and I get to spend a few quiet moments alone with DH, then the rest of the day is mine to do whatever I want, hubby doesn’t let me lift a finger to do any work at all! What a great day. I know what I am getting this year and it is something I have wanted for 17 years now, I am finally getting a “Mom’s” ring. I picked the one I wanted, designed it how I wanted it, printed it out then DH ordered it for me, I am so excited to get this as it has all 4 kids on it, thier names and birthstones, and the middle stone is an amethyst, my birthstone! It is similar in style to my wedding ring in that it is ringed by small diamonds. I am so excited to get it and actually wear it.

   I love your cards again today…congrats on the publications. Since I don’t have any children myself, my wish for mother’s day would be to be able to spend it with my own mother. Since moving away from Green Bay three years ago, I have only seen her once…it is difficult celebrating long distance. Happy Mother’s day to you!

6. Leesa Berry May 12th, 2007 at 12:18 pm 6

   I would love to eat out, shop til I dropped, go to a spa and stamp! A wonderful trip to England or Italy would be a wish come true! Dreaming big here huh! Have a wonderful Mother’s Day Everyone!

7. Dawnmercedes May 12th, 2007 at 12:21 pm 7

   My dream Mother’s Day would be…sleeping in, getting breakfast in bed, having something else cook and do the dishes…

   Wait, that IS what will happen tomorrow. So I am already a lucky Mom!

   Happy Mother’s Day to you Lauren!!

8. Nicole Ireland May 12th, 2007 at 12:22 pm 8

   My dream day would be to sleep past 7:00 a.m. and have my husband bring me coffee in bed and a bag full of new stamp goodies. And my kids would act like angels all day!!
   a massage would be nice too!!!

9. Bonnie aka raduse May 12th, 2007 at 12:40 pm 9

   My dream Mother’s Day would be to have my mom back with me for a day so we could do all of the fun stuff we used to; and maybe Mother’s Day wouldn’t be so gloomy to me (she passed one week after Mother’s Day 15yrs ago). Alexa would also have my mom so wrapped around her finger too. 🙂 You have a great one though with your family.

10. Dawn (dawnsing) May 12th, 2007 at 12:55 pm 10

    Well, since we don’t have kiddos, my ideal Mother’s Day would be to spend time w/my Mom and both my Grandma’s and still have enough time left over to see DH’s Mom for a bit too!

    Great card Lauren!!

11. Sharon K May 12th, 2007 at 1:03 pm 11

    My favorite Mother’s Day was in May 1978. I was the Mom of 3 beautiful children and only 21 years old. I was married to the most wonderful man in the world. My children were 6, 3. and 3 months. My youngest was diagnosed with a terminal illness and died that same year on December 31st. It was a year I will always treasure and the memories are as vivid today as they were back then. It’s been many years, but every Mother’s Day, I feel the loss of that precious baby boy. I feel blessed with the memories and my 2 adult children who have grown to be people I am proud to say are mine. BTW, in 4 weeks I will be a first time Grandma to a little girl, Mayah Taylor.
    I hope all of you have a blessed Mother’s Day!

    I think a great Mother’s Day would be a day that the kids would actually LISTEN. I love my kids and they are great kids, but sometimes I just get tired of having to repeat myself so many times.
    Last Mother’s Day was special, because the kids were so excited and just couldn’t wait to give me their presents they had made!!! The look on their faces was the best present!!!

13. Cammy V May 12th, 2007 at 2:11 pm 13

    My perfect Mother’s Day would be to have the day off from work. I work the weekend shift and most Holidays fall on the weekend so I don’t have those days off. I would just love to be able to spend time with my soon to be 3 yr old and 15 mo old. Both DH and I work so that we don’t have to put our kids in Daycare. He works the week day shift and I work the weekend shift. We see each other at night. He comes home from work, we get to have dinner together as a family and then it’s time to put the 2 cherubs to bed. We both get things done around the house and before you know it, it’s bedtime. When his Friday ends and weekends begin, my work week starts. That would be my nice Mother’s Day, to spend time with my family.

14. Rachel Hope May 12th, 2007 at 2:13 pm 14

    WOW…SCORE!

    My dream Mother’s Day is just relaxing and spending time with my family…and I get that every year!

15. KayellWY May 12th, 2007 at 2:28 pm 15

    I had to think a bit about what my dream Mother’s Day would be. Since I work from home, I knew it had to be away from the house. As I gazed out my office window, I realized what would make me happy this Mother’s Day. I think a trip to the mountains with a picnic lunch (prepared by my kids, of course) would be great. I can imagine sitting in the sunshine, listening to the wind in the trees, enjoying the wonderful view and taking in all of the antics of my kids and grandchildren, who I could just sit and watch all day long. That would be my perfect MD. 🙂 We would all go home relaxed, warmed by the sunshine and the memories we made together that day. 🙂

    Happy Mother’s Day!

16. Rachel May 12th, 2007 at 2:29 pm 16

    My ideal Mother’s Day would be going to a hotel with my husband by ourselves. We went to a great hotel for our honeymoon that had a hot tub and a balcony with a little grill. I would love it if we could grill some seafood and just relax. 🙂
    I just want to add that I love my Mother’s Days with my children too. They get so excited about their construction paper cards and making breakfast for me. I love that too. 🙂

17. doverdi May 12th, 2007 at 2:29 pm 17

    Wow! What an awesome prize for some lucky mom. I love the card you did as well. It is so pretty and so appropriate.

    My dream Mother’s Day would be a shopping spree at my favorite store or a bouquet of stamps! lol Not that it will happen having a teenage boy who will probably sleep late, then possibly treat me to supper. I’ll also squeeze in time with my own mother (she’s 82) and she’ll probably have supper with us. But to be honest, being a mother after not thinking I’d ever have children and being so blessed to have my son who is a miracle is my DREAM MOTHER’S DAY! Just being a mom is enough for me!

18. Rebecca May 12th, 2007 at 2:33 pm 18

    Happy Mother’s day! My dream day … to sleep past 7:00 am and have someone else make the coffee … oh and I get to read the paper FIRST! Then … onto the gifts … new stamps and new paper 🙂

19. Shannon Erskine May 12th, 2007 at 3:26 pm 19

    Last year my husband planned a perfect mother’s day for me. The kids woke me up with breakfast in bed and their gifts. We went to church and lunch. We caught a movie and did some shopping. When we got home my husband ran a hot bath for me with candles and bath salts and entertained the kids for me just to relax. When I got out of the tub he had my fave movie on the in bedroom ready to play with a glass of sweet tea on the night stand. Sounds simple but it was so perfect. The kids went all day without fighting and fussing. It was just a perfect day!

20. Lorrie May 12th, 2007 at 3:29 pm 20

    Uh lets see, after reading (with tears) through all the other posts, I would like to combine to express my “dream Mothers Day”
    1. I would love to have my mom back to share the day with
    2. I would love to spend the day with both my wonderful Daughter Son and Daughter in law
    3. I would love to have a shopping spree!
    4. A wonderful dinner out, and throw in a brunch too
    5. A Beautiful Homemade card, like the one you have here, Really nice!
    5. And do you think it would be too much to Dream, to do it all in ITALY???
    Like they say Dream Big!

    Thanks for the oportunity to Dream!

21. Staci Miserlian May 12th, 2007 at 3:39 pm 21

    Hmmm…ideal Mother’s Day is tough – so many things, so many ways you could go. I’d love if it were Saturday, which is somewhat more relaxing than getting everyone up and out of the house to church on time, but I’ll deal with it. So, a nice breakfast (doesn’t have to be in bed) at the table with my family, then having the girls get ready with no fighting and no need to get out the cattle prod. Enjoy church together and come home to find that my Mom and Dad have magically arrived to visit from Florida. We all go out to lunch together and then to a park where it is perpetually sunny with just a light breeze so it’s not too hot. Mom and I sit on a swing and talk and enjoy watching the kids & guys frolick. Then Mom and I head off to get a mani/pedi and facial. We meet back up with the family just in time to go out for a lovely dinner. After dinner we cuddle up on the couch to watch a movie together, the kids sweetly kiss and hug me goodnight. Then Mom and I head over to do a little stamping while the guys put the girls to bed. After about an hour of stamping, we four (DH, Dad, Mom & I) sit down and play a few games together – Sequence or something. Then the day is done and it was PERFECT!

22. Alex (aka Sillybirds) May 12th, 2007 at 3:40 pm 22

    I could say something along the lines of a nice long lie in!!! or a day in peace stamping (which of course would be scrummy) but I think it would have to be a day out somewhere with the girls having fun, we did that one one of my birthdays we went to a place in UK called Alice in Wonderland (which is a kids adventure place) and they were all sooooo good and they had a wonderful time, which in turn made my day extra special to see them all so happy, so I think this would have to be my idea mothers day xx

23. Julie Masse May 12th, 2007 at 4:05 pm 23

    I would love to just spend a nice quiet day with my family . . . a day when my children don’t fight, don’t backtalk, just play nicely and behave. A day when I can just sit and hold my new baby taking in all the great new baby smell and feeling none of the “discomfort” of the recovery! 🙂 Of course, a trip to Europe would be nice too! 🙂 Thanks for sharing Lauren!

24. Angel May 12th, 2007 at 4:18 pm 24

    Hi Lauren!
    You’ll have lots of reading to do by asking this question. 🙂 So, I’ll be brief. My ultimate Mother’s Day would consist of breakfast in bed, spending the day at a luxury spa and then the evening out with my family at my favorite restaurant. Pampering and love. 🙂 Of course, I would be at church in the morning. 🙂

25. Peggy Maier May 12th, 2007 at 4:32 pm 25

    I suppose I have the ideal Mothers Day every year – always about the same, but couldn’t get any better. My DD, Son-in-Law, grandsons & DS always plan something nice for me. I get a wonderful present (since my DD stamps too!), go out to eat & just take it easy. It’s a great day & I am totally blessed!

26. Pat Hines May 12th, 2007 at 4:38 pm 26

    This is the first Mother’s Day I will spend without seeing my children as they are both living across the country. So, needless to say my ideal Mother’s Day would be to spend it with my girls.

27. Kristy May 12th, 2007 at 5:31 pm 27

    Well, I’m not actually a mother, so my dream mother’s day would be to actually be able to celebrate it as a mother myself!

28. lois lane May 12th, 2007 at 5:39 pm 28

    My dream Mother’s Day gift would be lots of money and a trip to the nearest larger city to shop all day at the Craft stores. We don’t have many where I live. Just Craft 2000 and a smaller JoAnn’s. Oh yeah, and one small locally owned scrapbooking store. But I would love to go where they have more stores and a wider variety of things.

29. jodene May 12th, 2007 at 5:55 pm 29

    I would love to spend my mother’s day outside doing yard work. What? That’s right it finally is nice here and I love my yard. We live in the country in a small town and have a very large yard(takes 4hrs to cut the grass. I think maybe we should invest in a garden tractor) I have lots of flowers and a very large garden. I would like to spend my day getting the flower beds and garden ready for planting. Thanks for letting us all share!

30. Kathy W May 12th, 2007 at 6:08 pm 30

    My dream Mother’s Day would be news that I am totally healthy (I’m in the middle of health issues that are causing me a lot of anxiety). And having my son here for the day so that we could kick back and be together.

31. Lori Faeber May 12th, 2007 at 6:28 pm 31

    My perfect Mother’s Day would of course include stamping! I would like for one day, to not be bothered with making meals, doing any housework and etc. That would be a wonderful day. To be able to sit down with a book and read with a steaming hot latte in hand. Ah… I can dream can’t I?

    Lori F.

32. Amy H May 12th, 2007 at 6:36 pm 32

    My perfect Mother’s Day would also fall on a Saturday. Sundays are busy with church (which is where we’ll be). I would love to have breakfast in bed. A day without the kids arguing and fighting would be nice. After breakfast in bed I would be allowed to go down and stamp all day without interruption. A gift card to a LSS would be the perfect icing on the cake! I’m sure I’ll get pampered a little which will be nice. My kids will make me cards and give me a hug and tell me they love me and that is really all I need anyway!

33. Melissa Roth May 12th, 2007 at 6:51 pm 33

    My dream day would be to go back in time and introduce my 5 yr. old daughter to her great grandmothers. I spent every sunday for 20 years having sunday dinner with my family and both grandmothers. They both enjoyed me so much & laughed at everything I said or did. My little girl is so funny, witty, and bright…they would get such a kick out of her. I really miss that they aren’t here to enjoy her.

34. Jessica (jessrose21) May 12th, 2007 at 7:18 pm 34

    I’m not a mom but I know what my mom’s best mother’s day would be. She’d like to have all her kids home together and not have to do any cooking or cleaning!

35. Alanna May 12th, 2007 at 7:24 pm 35

    Hmmm…my ideal Mothers’ Day would definitely start with sleeping in! I would love to simply enjoy playing with and watching my 2 boys for awhile without having to do any of the “work” that goes with it (making meals, changing diapers etc…) then I would hit the spa for a pedicure and the mall for some shopping all by myself!!

36. Tracey aka cuccicoo1002 May 12th, 2007 at 7:46 pm 36

    My ideal Mother’s Day…well….start with coffee and breakfast in bed (usually happens already, so off to a good start ;)) Then, enjoy a relaxing day with Nick & Shannon, no pressure to feel like we HAVE to go visiting.

    Have Shannon be perfectly behaved and not whine once the ENTIRE day! Have my favorite dinner (steaks on the grill, with tossed salad and a baked potato) and then have the dishes magically wash themselves… oh yeah, and the house would be spotless, and all laundry would be caught up…etc. etc. etc…I’d like for the joy to last all week long! 🙂

    Happy Mothers Day Lauren!!

37. Selina May 12th, 2007 at 7:48 pm 37

    Happy Mother’s Day, Lauren!

    My dream mother’s day…Let’s see, I’d have a CLEAN house (and I didn’t have to do any of it), a chance to sleep in, shopping for anything I wanted, a mother’s ring/necklace and an incredibly fun day with my kiddos and husband! After all, they are the reason I am who I am, I love to be with them (even when they drive me crazy!) Fun, fun, fun!!!

38. Lynda May 12th, 2007 at 7:54 pm 38

    I would love a day of relaxation…stay in bed late, read a book, eat what I want – when I want, some stamping time and maybe stay in my jammies all day!
    Lynda

39. Shannon May 12th, 2007 at 8:00 pm 39

    My perfect Mother’s Day would be to sleep in without ever being disturbed and to be able to have the whole day to do what ever it is I feel like doing. No responsibility with the all four kidos. It would be my one day off for the year. I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother’s Day.

40. Kari May 12th, 2007 at 8:10 pm 40

    I love your creations! Right now my ideal Mother’s Day gift would be an unlimited phone call from my (only) son who joined the Navy and is on his way to Iraq. I cannot believe I am the mother of an almost 20 year old!! How in the world did that happen so fast?! I’ve been thinking back on all the fun things we did together and how excited he was for me on Mother’s Day. One year he “took me to the movies” I got to pick! He always tried to make me breakfast-it got better as he grew up. Right now no one single day stands out, but they all blend together as I reflect on our lives. I am so proud of him I can hardly put it into words. I cherish every moment we had and can’t wait to see him again in October!! That will be Mother’s Day all over again!!

41. Erica T May 12th, 2007 at 8:35 pm 41

    My ideal mother’s day would be to be waited on hand and foot for the day, relaxing at home 🙂 I know it is nothing special, but when life is so busy, this is what I would love the most right now:)

42. Jenn May 12th, 2007 at 9:03 pm 42

    My best Mother’s Day was in May, 2004…I spent the day with my husband, six children, my mother, my grandmother and my great-grandmother. I had no idea it woud be the last Mother’s Day I would spend with my Nana (great-grandmother). She celebrated her 100th birthday on May 21st and passed away a week later. Tomorrow I will spend Mother’s Day with my husband, six children, my mother and my grandmother…I’m looking forward to all of us being together!

    Have a wonderful Mother’s Day, Lauren!!!

43. Amy May 12th, 2007 at 9:15 pm 43

    After waiting five years for my daughter, my dream day would be to find out that she is going to have a brother or sister. Maybe next year!!! Other than that, I love just another day playing, snuggling, and smooching my little girl. Have a great day!

44. Kenna May 12th, 2007 at 9:17 pm 44

    My perfect Mother’s Day would be to have the morning with my kids and then the rest of the day to play in my stamping room. I never get to do that and am home with my kids all day (SAHM). Happy Mother’s Day to the other Mom’s.

45. stampngokaren May 12th, 2007 at 9:26 pm 45

    I would have to say my dream day would be to spend it with my husband and kids having fun all day. No meals to cook or chores to be done. Just a day to hang together and do goofy things.

46. Jennie May 12th, 2007 at 9:51 pm 46

    Wow, so many wonderful responses have been posted!
    My dream Mother’s Day is for my husband to have the day off and to spend the day as a family doing something fun. If I could pick anything, I’d pick going to the beach. However, he does have to work and we live in Las Vegas so I don’t see that happening tomorrow, LOL! But my husband mentioned watching the kids so that I can stamp for a couple hours uninterrupted and that sounds terrific to me!
    Hapy Mother’s Day Lauren!

47. Linda SS May 12th, 2007 at 10:19 pm 47

    Being with my family is the best Mother’s day possible, so I’m living my dream. I still have my 78 yr. old mother, I’m still here to celebrate even though I’ve had cancer for almost 4 years, and both my kids, their spouses, and our 3 grandkids will be spending the day with me. What more could I possibly want:)

48. Janine May 12th, 2007 at 10:27 pm 48

    It would be great if my 14 year old son would get off of the computer and do some crafting with me on Mother’s Day! I don’t think that will happen, but there’s always hope…he does want to make a polymer clay “bird” pen for his teacher. My DH already spoiled me last week (gotta watch those sales, you know) and got me stamping and Cuttlebug goodies. Happy Mother’s day, everyone!

49. Melanie May 13th, 2007 at 12:20 am 49

    My fav mother’s day would be doing nothing for the day! no diapers, feeding ect 🙂 and maybe sleeping in aahhh the life that would be!

50. Christina (thecardpixie on SCS) May 13th, 2007 at 12:45 am 50

    My situation is the same as Kristy posted above…I am not a mother, but someday would absolutely love to be one! So someday in the future, my dream mother’s day will be my first one!

51. Melissa (smileytexan) May 13th, 2007 at 7:11 am 51

    Let’s see, my dream Mother’s Day. . .guess that would be to finally have my little girl that we’re adopting from China home with us. The wait is so long! I’m praying that by one year from now, Mother’s Day 2007, that dream will become a reality. Then, to have her home, to just spend the day with my family, maybe at the Botanical Gardens, admiring God’s beauty or walking together at the park, just being together would be amazing! Of course, some flowers from the kids would be great, maybe a little chocoalte! I always love the homemade cards! Just having the family complete, would be my perfect Mother’s Day!
    Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!!

52. Amber H. May 13th, 2007 at 7:23 am 52

    Happy Mother’s Day. My dream Mother’s day would to actually have everyone in the house listen to me! lol yea, right, i can dream, right?? For the kids to actually pick up the house without being told. To make breakfast in the morning for me instead of DH asking if I was gonna do something! Around here, mother’s day is just like any other day. For once I’d like it to be something special. Okay, I will wake up now and go make breakfast, get my family dressed so we can attend church together.

53. kimberly May 13th, 2007 at 7:37 am 53

    Happy Mother’s Day! My dream day would be for everyone to not be at home all day so I could just craft away. lol. It will never happen!

54. Jennifer May 13th, 2007 at 8:30 am 54

    Beautiful card. My ideal Mother’s day now is different from what it would have been 6 or 7 years ago. I live almost 4000 miles away from my mom now, and what I wouldn’t give to be with her today! To be able to go to the cemetery and visit my grandma’s grave with my mom. To share a meal together, and then since my mom has just recently taken up crafting sit down for the rest of the day and stamp and create together. I miss and love you grandma. Mom I love you too!

55. Alison May 13th, 2007 at 9:18 am 55

    Lauren, gorgeous card as always, and congrats on getting your work published! My dream mother’s day would somehow combine a weekend away scrapping at a hotel, a pedicure, a massage, and margaritas! The way my kids have been behaving lately, I think I’d rather scrapbook pictures of them than spend time with them. How sad that sounds!

56. Elaine May 13th, 2007 at 10:57 am 56

    First, Happy Mother’s Day! Your card creation is gorgeous! We will celebrate by having my mom over and I’ll cook for her! 🙂 Dessert is a white chocolate raspberry ice cream cake (I cheated and bought it though)….my ideal day would be spending it with our family all together with lots of food and merriment! 🙂 Hope your day is great and congrats on your work being published!

57. Nicki Lundeen May 13th, 2007 at 11:11 am 57

    My mother just passed March 4, and I would love the opportunity to just be able to call her to say, “I love you”! I would love her to be here and well and be able to take her for lunch, shopping and just spend the day together like we used to. That would be the most awesome thing ever!!!

58. mara May 13th, 2007 at 1:40 pm 58

    Happy Mothers Day!
    Well last Mothers Day I took my Mom to the Stamping Mania that was held on Mothers Day last year. We had such a wonderful time. Also my B-day is the 20th of May so my mom bought alot of stuff that I wanted for my Birthday.

59. Caitlin May 13th, 2007 at 1:58 pm 59

    my ideal mothers day would be having the kids out for the day and the entire day set up for me to scrap, stamp and craft. I’m not a bad mother, i swear, but toddlers get in the way when crafting!!

60. Jennifer Magreevy May 13th, 2007 at 2:00 pm 60

    I don’t have children yet, so my perfect Mother’s Day would be to spend it with my Mom. I’m currently living in England while my mom is in Ohio, so I think the perfect day would just be to spend it with her. We have such a fun time when we are together (she visited me for two weeks at the beginning of April), so I can’t wait until we can see each other again, hopefully in a few months. That will be a belated Mother’s Day for both she and I! 🙂

    Hi! My ideal way to spend mother’s day would be to have a manicure/pedicure, maybe a massage, followed by a nice dinner out and a yummy dessert! Hope you have a great Mother’s Day!

    hi! i’m not a mother yet… but i can’t wait to be a mom… dirty diapers and all, at this point it seems like it would just be such a joy to be a mom. =)

    I had my dream Mother’s Day today. I got to sleep in. My hubby fixed breakfast for me – french toast – yummy. He gave me a new OTT-LITE for my craft room. I got to read and stamp most of the day. The best part was dinner with my son, daughter-in-law and my granddaughters. Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.

    Hi! Not sure if I’ve been able to post in time…

    My ideal Mother’s Day was today! We got up and had a lazy breakfast. My husband had the kids clean their rooms for me so I could stamp! Yes, quiet time for stamping! We went to my Mom’s for dinner with the family, watched the kids learn how to fish from my grandma and grandpa, and sat outside in the beautiful breeze. Nothing could beat it!

    Thanks,
    Lisa

    What a beautiful card. My perfect day would be a day spent at the beach, or in the mountains, somewhere with nature, quiet, and of course with my family to share it all with me. We tend to get so wrapped up in everyday life, that sometimes we lose sight of what is important.

    Love your blog.

    my dream mother’s day would be all of us in the same place at once. Son is on his honeymoon (yeah!) oldest daughter is protecting the citzens of Detroit in her copper car, and middle kid is recovering from a hot date.

    grandkids are out and about getting ready for school to end and graduation.

    you know what-two weeks ago, my son bought me dinner-for the first time ever. He is 30 this week. the others never have. That is weird to me-that I always pick up the tab-even when its a situation that they should. anyone else have this happen?

    Today was pretty close to a perfect day – hanging around the house, not having to cook or clean and the kids were well behaved (especially happy since it rained all day and we stayed inside). I can’t wait until they are older – I loved being able to get up in the morning and leave my Mom to enjoy a quiet day to herself. 🙂

    Seems like every year for Mother’s day we do something different. Last year we spent it at the park having a cookout with my husband’s mom and dad. Today, we went to my sister’s house and my mom and whole family was there and we went swimming! BUT—this may be a little weird, but I have always dreamed that my perfect Mother’s day would be to rent a hotel room BY MYSELF and do absolutely nothing–ALL DAY and all night!! Of course I would take some stamping stuff and play and order room service. Now, my best friend and I want to do this together some day, even if it’s not Mother’s day!!! That would be greatness!!

    My mother’s day was so great! I spent it with my dear husband of 32 years, my two sons and their wives and my new first grandson Jett. My husband Jeff gave me 2 doz. yellow roses (my favorite) a cuttlebug and all the folders that store had and told me to go to my favorite jewelry store and pick something out from him. My children both gave me gift certificates to Archriver’s (my favorite store) and my daughter in laws took me to that store to spend it while all the boys stayed home and cooked out for us. They also gave me red roses and cards. My grandson gave me ( of course I know they came from mom and dad) professionally made photos (in frames) of himself. We had so much fun passing the baby around that the tv didn’t even come on. What a great day. I didn’t want to see it end. I am so blessed with my family. Thank you God.
