Day for Mothers

Today was a relaxed day for the most part. Im now doing some more relaxing watching THE VOW, which is a goooood movie. If you havent seen it, watch it. I read the book too which was also amazing. (and I am the type of person that likes to read the book before watching the movie in most cases)

My mama and I last year at Busch Gardens!
This morning and afternoon, I sat at the kitchen with my mom while we drank coffee, I gave her a really sweet card and her favorite candy bar (Hersheys with Almonds). I did a mini spa day with her, I did her toes and repainted them and also waxed her eyebrows. We always like to do those things for each other.

For an early dinner, we all headed to Cracker Barrel to treat Mom to dinner. My Aunt Dale and my cousin Holden came, and my Grandpa Fred that is visiting from Texas and also my moms roomate came, then me, jermie and my brother. we havent ate there in a long time so we were all hungry for some old fashioned cooking.

Their service was fast and friendly! My review for this place is 5 stars! hahaha


I ordered Homestyle chicken. I think I ate 4 homemade biscuits...theyre so good! I couldnt finish all my food though...preolly because of the biscuits!

My MOM, Aunt Dale, Holden, Shirah, grandpa fred, jeffrey and then hubby and I was taking the picture. I love their rocking chairs!

Jermie and I bought some old candy sticks from the Cracker Barrell General Store. I got my favorite flavor-ROOT BEER!

The "Mother's" hahaha

Im glad I got to spend this mothers day with my mom. Last year she was in Korea for Mothers day.

I really look up to my mother. She is the strongest, most independent, caring woman I know and is also one of my best friends. We sometimes bump heads alot because we have strong personalities but we are so alike, its scary. No matter what, we might not always agree on the same things but we always support each other and want to the best for each other. I love you mom!

I hope you all had a great mothers day and was able to see your mom, or spend time with your kids or whatever your family situation is! I hope you were able to make some fantastic memories! Happy Mother's Day!

Approaching Mother's Day

Mother's Day is approaching fast!  If youre not quite sure what to get your mother for Mother's Day or for your wife who is the mother of your children (for all those guys reading this hahahaha) here are a few things I have picked out that I know I would like and other mothers I think would enjoy. Of course, you know what your significant other  likes...whether they are into art, beauty, fashion, geekery or traveling, cooking or being a full time mom.

The NOOK TABLET $200-$250
I snapped this pic at Barnes and Noble the other day
I have been eyeballin one of these babies for while- I love to read books and magazines and surf on the internet reading blogs or watching Netflix. And of course- I wouldnt be a woman if I didnt want accessories for it

Nook Case and Skin Art $32 here

I am in love with the Mystic Topaz. I want this as my wedding ring or as a set with a ring, earrings and a necklace. I love all the colors it reflects. You dont always have to get diamonds for the woman in your life- at least not for me. I love all gems and stones in any color or style. This is a good idea if you have a jewelry lover in your life.

Of course, you can always get flowers as well. Or other type of arrangements such as fruit or junk food! hahahaha


Chocolate Covered Strawberries from Edible Arrangements

Candy Bouquet for the junk food junkies!
For those mom's that love to bake or cook up amazing treats in the kitchen- there is the option of having custom artwork put onto a mixer. I have blogged about this artist before-but she def deserves another spot on here! I would love to get this for my mother or even myself! Check it out below

There are so many to choose from on her website HERE, check her out!




You could always get giftcards too for anyplace for your mother or wife to go shopping at. Target, Kohls, online. You could plan a trip somewhere such as a bed and breakfast spot or go up to a park or a beach for a picnic or a walk..or 4 wheeling in mud. hahahaha

Heres a cool outfit I picked for myself through POLYVORE, any of these items listed a mother would love to get!

So that is my wishlist/list of ideas for myself or for anyone else in your family or circle of friends. Of Course, Mother's Day is not all about gifts, it is celebrating your mother for all the hard work and dedication and love she has given to you, or if your a mother yourself, celebrating your experiences with your children. Its a day for all mothers to feel special. I hope you all do feel special for Mothers day!

From one mother to another, HAPPY MOTHER"S DAY coming soon!

Happy Mothers Day!

First, my sweets, I want to wish every mother out there a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you all spent you day doing something awesome with or for your mother. As for me, I was able to spend today with my kids and husband along with my aunt and her son (my cousin). Our original plans were to go to Cape Henry Lighthouse and see the sights from the top. But the weather was a lil "ify" so we had changed our plans to go paint our own ceramics at a place called "Color Me Mine" studio.

So here we were at our table painting. We all chose our own ceramic: Matthias chose a jet to paint, Arabella painted a puppy, I painted a "paint palette" and jermie painted me a mermaid for mothers day, and everyone had their own thing that they were painting.

When we were done painting, and we got home, I was presented with my Mother's Day presents: I got 4 nail polishes and a teal watch from Target! This was the Best Mother's Day! I hope everyone else was able to have a great weekend!
