Mother's Day 2025

 My Mother's Day was really nice this year. For the first time in several years, Sam put a lot of thought and effort into his gifts for me, and that meant the world to me. I'm so thankful to be his mom, John's mom, and a mom in general. It's one of the best and most significant choices I've ever made.

Sam picked out this floral arrangement for me at Kohl's, and I love it! It's just my style. He also made me a really sweet homemade card and a cute little origami owl. 

He threw in an illustration of Jesus that he'd been given from someone at church awhile back, too. 😄 He had put everything in a pretty basket when he gave it all to me.



He found a scripture verse about mothers and wrote about it in the card. His handmade efforts reminded me so much of when he was younger and artistic and creative and would make me the sweetest things.



I bought myself a heart-shaped tray of chocolate-covered strawberries because I love them 😋

I invited Mom over and she, Sam, David, and I enjoyed a nice dinner of lemon rosemary spatchcocked chicken with roasted potatoes, and then we played ping-pong together. It was a very pleasant evening. I'm grateful for my mom and for all that she does for me, and I'm so grateful to be a mother myself.
