Happy Mother's Day Girlfriends

I am soo blessed in that I had a great mother. Mary and Ashia, two of my daughters are great mothers and Sarah our middle daughter will be a great mother in the near future. More about Sarah and her family coming soon.

As I'm writing this I'm reflecting on the mothers who I know. I have many friends and family members who I have seen the sacrifices that they have made, the tears that they have shed, the prayers that they have prayed and the unconditional love that they have given. Maybe these ladies had only one child, some of them didn't have children of their own and then some had a house full. It doesn't really matter what matters most is that they have been a mother to someone out there. They have given until it hurt and let me tell you friend it does hurt at times. 

So to all the mothers who are heroes in my life whether you know it or not. 

I love you!

Thanks for stopping by y'all and please come again soon.

Yay I WON!

What precious moments we share with those we love. Everyday is Mother's Day because we GET to be a mother not everyone has this opportunity and I feel blessed. It could only have been better had my other children been home! Honey and I spent the week in Greenwood and on Saturday I got up and headed to the farm to spend the afternoon and evening with Be and Ash. Honey continued to work in the flat land while we went out to eat. :( Punkin and I had a photo shoot session, well actually it was to be her session but she didn't cooperate very well so I was allowed to join her. You can see she was trying to eat all the flowers!

I just received a wonderful mother's day present. Last year I won a giveaway with a company that I love their products and I was so excited but the products never came. I won through another blogger and it's not a big deal so I didn't bother to contact her, but I was disappointing. This year I won a giveaway with another company and I was kind of skeptical after my last experience but guess what???? The products came this time and I am sooo excited! I just received them today so I will post reviews after I get the chance to try them. I am cooking more now so I plan to try them soon. Here are what I will be reviewing.....

Happy Mother's Day

As Mother's Day approaches fast I spend a lot of time thinking about my mother and all she meant to me! She was more than just a mother, she was my friend and I love her dearly. I say love because one day we will be together again, it is not the end when you have a relationship with the Father.


On Mother's Day I also spend a lot of time thinking about the different mother's or yet to be mother's in our family.

Here are some Mother's in my immediate family:

The first mother is Mary, she is our first born and such a joy in our lives. She is married to George and lives in Indiana. Mary is a nurse who chooses to stay at home with her children Alayna, Emma and Joshua. We feel that Mary sacrifices above and beyond for her family and we appreciate all that she does! We call Mary our Martha Stewart because of her abilities in decorating, cooking etc. I wish that she lived closer to help me now. We love you Mary Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!

The second mother-to-be is Sarah, she is our middle child and she also is a joy in our lives! She is married to Eric and they live in Colorado. Eric and Sarah are adopting Internationally and we couldn't be more excited! They have no children of their own, well except for their dogs, at this time. We have been watching Sarah planning and getting ready for adoption and we have marveled at how she is making herself available for such a time as this. Sarah has always been our career daughter who we thought would never have children because she has always lived life in the fast lane working all the time. To get ready to raise a family she has started her own jewelry art business and quit a good job to stay at home. I can't wait to see what God has in store for her and Eric! We love you Sarah, Happy Mother's Day!!!!!

And last but not least the third mother is our baby daughter Ashia who is ALSO a joy in our lives! She is married to Ben and they manage our farming in East Mississippi, we couldn't farm there without them. Ben and Ashia blessed us with their first child Austin last September. Ashia has amazed us with her mothering skills, she does research daily to be a better mother and help provide for Austin's spiritual and physical needs. She also, like the other two girls is very creative and her decorating and cooking abilities qualify her to be our Little Martha Stewart. Ashia and I have been through a lot together and she has always been there for me! Thank you Ashia, We love you too Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!



A MOTHER...
When you're a child she walks before you,
To set an example.
When you're a teenager she walks behind you
To be there should you need her.
When you're an adult she walks beside you
So that as two friends you can enjoy life together!!!!
