My second Mother’s Day was a wonderful success. So much in fact, I am actively advocating celebrating once a month! Us moms deserve it, don’t we?! My Mother’s Day essentially started last weekend when Simeon sent me on the MOMS Club Spring Retreat at a B&B in Lincoln City, complete with sleeping in, reading grown-up books, enjoying an hour long massage, and most importantly, not having to worry about anyone but myself for 48 blissful hours. That by itself would have been the best present ever! But my husband didn’t stop there. He bought me some lovely new ruby red Mary Jane Crocs that I have been coveting. Then on actual Mother’s Day, he and Ana took me out to breakfast, we came home and watched No Reservations while Ana napped. Then when she woke up, we headed up to the zoo to walk around checking out the animals for a few hours. After the zoo Sim picked up my favorite take-out for dinner and we all enjoyed a wonderful meal at home.
It was such an amazing celebration of being a mother. I simply couldn’t ask for a better family. You can see all the pictures from our zoo trip here. Enjoy!
i love to see daddies in love with their kids! glad to see Sim took good care of you too!
Being a full time, stay at home Mom, is the most important job you’ll ever have!! And you’re doing an outstanding job!! Your photos and journal of your special times and experiences with Ana, show us how much fun you’re having, I’m so proud and happy for you. I’m also thrilled that you and Sim are enjoying parenthood as much as I did and still do 🙂 Only now it’s being a Nana that make our times together twice as special. Love, Mom/Nana
