The Simple Things | Mother's Day

Hope all of you blogger mama's had a wonderful Mother's Day! 


 My Mother's Day started off with homemade cards and breakfast made with love...



Next, we were off to the beach to make sand castles, dip our toes in the sand and a picnic by the ocean...






Payton and I worked diligently on not building a sand castle but a Walrus...


Isn't it the cutest Walrus you've ever seen?


After working hard on our Walrus we enjoyed a yummy lunch that daddy made for us. Homemade hoagies, Funyun's (my fave growing up and haven't had them in FOREVER!) and my moms favorite drink -- IBC Rootbeer...yum!



What a great day so far!




After a great day at the beach we did some shopping and then off to my dads and Sandy's for a Mother's Day dinner...



 Dipping our toes in the pool, a Harley ride with my dad and some yummy Moscato with dinner. So blessed!



To finish up a wonderful day, Payton and I had an all inclusive tea party with a personal waiter, tea, homemade chocolate covered strawberries and cucumber sandwiches. A spot of tea anyone?


 It was the simple things that made this day wonderful!
A mother's job is messy. A mother's job is stinky. A mother's job is hectic. A mother's job is NEVER done. A mother's job is more rewarding than any paycheck. 
I am so blessed with two loving and caring children!


How was your Mother's Day? I'd love to hear all about it.

  11. First off... Gosh woman... you are GORGEOUS. Seriously beautiful, & what a sweet loving family you have! Really looked like the perfect day. You captured it beautifully... Oh the tea part SO SO cute!

    Btw. LOVE that we both ended our day w/ a glass (fish bowl. Lol) of wine... AND we both got the 50mm! Yay! Thanks for your sweet comment too. UG. I SO need to get more comfortable w/ Photo Shop & Elements. Honestly, I loved Picnik & now I've been using Picmonkey.) It's just so quick & easy! I need to stop making excuses & just learn the darn thing! Lol... sorry for the novel comment)

    1. You are so sweet!!! I don't feel very photogenic but you make me blush, love :)

      It was a perfect Mother's Day! Your photos at the park are gorgeous. You have so a beautiful little family.

      Okay, so I am going to check out this Picnik and Picmonkey you speak about since the Elements is WAY to complicated for me right now...ha! Somehow I lost my watermark when I was uploading my photos last night, an I about cried. But these websites you mentioned are less technical then they have my name written ALL of it!
