Happy Mother’s Day! Cate made this beautiful paper flower for me. Isn’t it lovely?
Nate took the girls into their room last night to do some Mother’s Day prep work. Cate emerged from the room GIDDY over their surprises for me. It was one of those irresistibly wonderful mom moments.
My dear friend Christy sent this great link from Real Simple…a list of questions to ask your mom. It’s a great article. Read it and make your call to Mom today that much more meaningful.
Do I really have to plan a menu? At least I’m not in charge of the food today!
MONDAY:
– Some yummy flavor of sausage, on the grill
– Veggie of some sort
– Zatarain’s Rice & Beans
TUESDAY:
– Chicken Paninis
WEDNESDAY:
– Chili
THURSDAY:
– Attending a graduation party…congrats, Dr. Jake!
FRIDAY:
– Leftovers
SATURDAY:
– Eat out
SUNDAY:
– I have no idea. I’m pleading “It’s Mother’s Day so I shouldn’t have to think.” I’ll come up with something later this week and use your menus for inspiration!
I know, it’s Mother’s Day. If you’re a mom, get off the computer and come back tomorrow with your menu. That said, can’t wait to see all of your menus!
Have a happy day everyone!
