After breakfast in bed, the rest of the day was spent taking care of flooring stuff. It wasn’t how we had originally planned to spend Mother’s Day, but we went with it. The day before, I did get the vintage porch swing I have been eyeing (just gotta get it up now), so there really isn’t much to complain about. Plus, we were able to go out to have dinner with my mom (and dad and baby sister) at our favorite chinese restaurant. All in all, it was a day spent with my favorite people, so this mama is especially happy!

on me: top, c/o modcloth. jeans, urban outfitters. shoes, anthropologie (last summer). necklace: homako. I don’t like that longer in the back shirt or dress trend going on, so I sewed my top to all be one length.
on true: shirt: vintage. jumper: misha lulu. clogs: c/o lotta for stockholmn. LOVE kid clogs!
on brave: dress: little bean. shorts: misha lulu. shoes: salt-waters.
on soul: shirt: vintage. skirt: misha lulu. shoes: salt-waters.
on glow: shirt and shorts: misha lulu.

Every birthday and Mother’s Day I pretend I am surprised to get breakfast in bed, but it really isn’t a surprise since this tradition goes back to when I lived at home and did this for my parents or they did it for me (my sister did it for my mom yesterday). Nevertheless, for my little ones, I stay in bed because they tell me they have a surprise. They even send one of them to in to my room to make sure I don’t get up. I love this tradition of ours.

This time around, I got fresh made waffles. That was a surprise because we didn’t have a waffle maker, so I thought I was just getting pancakes. Ben and the girls made buttermilk waffles, along with a kitty cat onion creature and an ant grape creature. Of course, I got a whole book of love notes made by my girls. It was the sweetest part.

I am hardly deserving of having such sweet children. They are the most forgiving people I know and I am so glad to be their mother.
