Happy Mother's Day!!

I hope everyone had a blessed and wonderful day full of love, warmth, those you love, and everything good;-)

I spent some time out in the yard today - looking at all the spring activity.  Amazing what a little rain and sunshine can do...sure perked up all my garden beauties!!  My blueberry bushes are full of tiny delicate pink blossoms....

And here's my other beauty - a primrose....

I really had no expectations for this little one.  I got her really late in the fall last year and had no time to prep her before winter.  Talk about the will to survive!  Can't wait to see her in full bloom!  I may have already told you - I have this love affair with everything floral.  Fabric, floweres, pictures, you name it...if it has flowers it's calling my name! (LOL)

Alright, I know you're all dying to know who will be receiving our Mother's Day Giveaway, but first -   thank you everyone for sharing your comments on our Mother's Day post, I really enjoyed reading them:)  Hopefully you did too;-)  I love these little flashbacks in time...precious memories that always warm the heart and really make the journey so worthwhile!

You Know Your a Mom When..... Mother's Day Giveaway!

I don't know that I consciously spend time thinking about my role as a Mother...it's like breathing, I just do it.  It didn't always feel quite that natural though. I took a little time this evening to travel down memory lane via our photo albums.  Found myself laughing, crying and thinking - I cannot even imagine my life without them, my three beautiful children Krystle, Ivan & Lisa.

In tonight's travels I realized I had some "quirky" behavior patterns, traits and characteristics that I acquired over the years...and these die hard!  (my youngest is almost 13 and I still find myself counting the sprinkes and marshmellows - I can't help myself!)

So now for the fun! We're celebrating Motherhood this week, post 3 of your most endearing "You Know Your a Mom When..." qualities, traits, habits between today and Saturday May 9th, and you'll be entered into our drawing for our new Sweet Stuff Bag Pattern & accompanying Recessionista Fabric Pack! Not a mother yet?  That's okay - you probably know one of us and can let us know from your perspective what endearing "You Know Your a Mom When" qualities we possess! 

I'll get us started with some of mine, You Know Your a Mom When...

• You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake and marshmellows in their hot chocolate to make sure they're equal.
• You find yourself cutting your husbands' sandwiches into cute shapes.
• You can't bear to give away baby clothes - it's so final.
• You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "NOT in your good clothes!"
• You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything!

Have a great week and Stay In Stitches!
