Mother's Day

I often think that Mother's Day is just as much reflecting on the privilege of being a mother, as being honored as one. 

This picture is from a recent birthday; here is the guy whose children I am mother to, and our kiddos. 

Every day as Mother is unique; new challenges, new joys, new growth. I make many mistakes, but hopefully our children will also have many good memories from these, their childhood years. 

Today I had a great breakfast made by my hubby and one of the older boys. The girls and little boys got to take a long bike ride with their dad, and I took a leisurely walk with the dog. 

I received a couple darling school-made gifts (a pin and a keychain) and a beautiful plant.

And as I write, a Mother's Day cake is being made by my Miss Baker and her Chief Helper. 

And my Miss Creative just whipped up a beautiful pop-up flower card. 

Yes, it's an honor to be a mom!
