Mother's Day

I told Shawn that I did not want to cook on Mother's Day and I was so blessed to not have to do that! I woke up to coffee and a hot breakfast. Shawn had some meat that he fanned out on a plate and then put some yummy eggs in the middle of the fan. Very creative and yummy!
For lunch he actually had put in the crockpot the night before so it was ready for us when we got home from church. For dinner he made fried egg sandwiches which is actually a standard at our house! He even cleaned up all the mess too! The rest of the day was spent doing our normal Sunday routine but it was nice to just be together.
























I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this picture!






















For me, it is really hard not to have big expectations for Mother's Day. Yes, it is a special day to honor Mother's, but why can't that be done every day of the year? I really had to step back and remind myself of the simple things in life. To be thankful for what I had and have right in front of me.
Shawn even bought me a book about being a stay-at-home mom. He knew I have been struggling with my identity for a while and it was very thoughtful of him to think of encouraging me in that way. The book is by Dr. Laura and she doesn't pull any punches! She gets right to the honest truth and I really like that!
So, thank you honey for making me feel special even though I didn't show it very well. Thank you for loving me as a wife and as a mom and for coming along side of me so we can raise our children in God's love.
