Mother's Day Wish-list

In an effort to put off writing about the hard stuff for yet another day I thought I'd share a mother's day wish-list with you.

Now in all honesty my dream mother's day would include a hotel room with room service and sleep - alone. Is that bad mother of me?

I also like handmade tokens from my girls and flowers, flowers are always good, but if you want to actually give a gift here are some of the things on my wish-lists:

1. T-Shirts: t-shirts are always a great option for me because my daily uniform is a cute tee pared with jeans or yoga pants (usually yoga pants). Here are some of my favorites.

I love this shirt from Oliver and Otis. It pairs two of my favorite things - Texas and Yellow Roses!

So true...so true.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the source of this one, but it's cute.

..

This is so true as well!

This one is always a great option.

2. Accessories - You can never fail with a new necklace, but this year I am really thinking "watch"

3. Anything Fitness Related: Since I'm back on my weight-loss journey any "fitness" items would be helpful! 

New Fitbit Flex Straps

I found this one at BestBuy

4. And lastly (because I am feeling like this post is kind of annoying) BOOKS - I always have a wish-list of books, but right now I am really wanting these to by Kara. You can find both of these on Amazon. 

This one is a pre-order that will be released in October. 

5. Ahhh...you just thought I was done. I thought I throw one more in just for giggles:

A Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR with 18-55mm EF-S IS II Lens. I mean why not...as long as I am wishing I should go big, right? Hey, this is even the old model, so I'm not going too big! 

You can find it here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00894YWD0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_img?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2JLTT98RKJ14L&coliid=I23GHTUGFR25L4&psc=1

But really just having my family with me on mother's day is a big enough gift (I am supposed to say that right? - ha!). What's on your Mother's Day wish-list? 

A Mother's Day Letter...to My Mom

Dear Mom,

I know that the last 32 years with me haven’t been grand, but I wanted you to know that you have done a great job! I wouldn’t change a thing. I think we needed our trials to get where we are today. I am happy that we talk four or more times a day. I am lucky to be so close with you. I am proud of all the things you have accomplished in life and I am oh so lucky to have you (I’ve always known that).

In the past year I have seen strength come from you that I hadn’t seen before. You are one strong cookie who can handle anything with grace (and not even cuss that much).

Everyone knew you would be an awesome “Grammy.” Shelby thinks you hung the moon and makes it a point to tell me…often! I am brought to tears when I think about the bond the two of you have and how you were the first person to hold her and give her a big kiss. Thank you for that!

Thank you for always standing by me and being my biggest cheerleader!

I love you mom!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Shelby and I wish were there to give you a big hug! We miss you tons!

Love you daughter!
