Ten little things that made my Mother’s Day Special

1. Hubby made me French toast. At least, he tried to. I woke up to a smoke filled house, windows open, and a plate full of a sloppy, yet burnt pile of what was supposed to be toast. He told me, “I am totally messing this up. I give up.” And he turned it off.

2. After giving the girl’s regular cups to drink their milk out of, Claire of course dropped hers. In her saddened voice, with a sad, sad face, she told me, “Mommy, I sorry.” She helped me clean it up with paper towels. I had to hug her for that.

3. Azure got to sing with the Primary. It is her first year and even though she didn’t really sing, it made me feel special to see her up there in honor of me. And to top that, Claire wanted to sing even though nursery kids don’t go up, she went anyway. I loved every second.

4. Azure gave her very first talk in Primary. I helped her. It was about Mothers. I must admit, I talked myself up a bit. Wouldn’t you?

5. I received a Tulip from the Primary kids. Actually, it was half a tulip because some of the petals were missing. But at least I can say I got a flower today. They also made the cutest cards shaped like purses for me. I love them.

6. While the kids were napping, I sat and read. I have been so busy lately that I haven’t had to time to just sit and indulge in a good book. It was bliss.

7. I took the cutest interview video of Azure who talked the whole time about her upcoming wedding to a certain little boy. Apparently she has every detail planned out down to the name of their firstborn daughter, (no, it can’t be a boy) Cinderella. I don’t know if this boy will agree to that, or any of her plans, but it gave me a good laugh.

8. Family dinner at mom’s. Always an adventure there, but when you get to spend time with your mom and sister in law on Mother’s day and chat about random things, it’s even better.

9. Strawberry shortcake. Need I say more?

10. The kids reminded me about family prayer before they went to bed. Not only that, but they went to bed without complaint and I was able to finish the last bit of my book.

Although these are small and simple things, they are great things to me. One thing I did notice was that my girls were so sweet and it was nice to just have a peaceful day with no arguing, whining, fighting, screaming, hitting and so forth. It was a great day and I’m grateful to all who made it special for me. I am honored to be a Wife and Mother. It’s days like this that make it worth it all.
