MOTHER'S DAY THOUGHTS

 Simple Pleasures #37

Ready or not we are zooming into May. 

Just where does the time go?

We are a week away from Mother's Day and that brings about thoughts of all of the mothers that have been in my life and what it means to be a mother. 

"A mother is a selfless, loving human who must sacrifice many of their wants and needs for the wants and needs of their children. A mother works hard to make sure their child is equipped with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to make it as a competent human being. Being a mother is perhaps the hardest, most rewarding job a woman will ever experience." (source)

I remember growing up and wishing to be a mother and when I became one I remember all of the feelings that went with it. 

Love, fear, and wonder were all mixed in together.

Being a mother to my two daughters has been the greatest honor of my life.

Mother's Day is a celebration of mothers, but we should celebrate mothers every day.

Gluten-Free Cooking

Few mothers don't love chocolate and I have to admit that I could live off chocolate if I hadn't learned restraint. (okay I have to put on blinders when walking past the chocolate aisle)

Mother's Day means that we should be able to indulge.

Chocolate and ice cream? I am definitely in.

I have my fork ready if anyone out there is paying attention.

What I'm Reading

Last week I read Call Your Daughter Home.

I loved it and couldn't put it down. 

This week I am reading Apples Never Fall by New York Times Best selling author Liane Moriarty.

Amazon

If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father?

This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings.

Apples Never Fall is a novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest.
