Oh my goodness! I know I’m late to this, but this is so beautiful. And that your son would notice how often you smile at him? My heart! You’re a good mama.

I’ve always been closer to my dad than my mom, but becoming a mother recently has changed my perspective, and our relationship is evolving. This is a really touching tribute to your mother. Hope your baby boy feels better!

My son says the exact same thing “Why are you looking at me?”
They don’t know and yes, they won’t until they have their own.
I’m sorry that the sickies hit your house…but I do know that your loving touch will be remembered for always.
happy late moms day xo

So pretty Julia!!! I have fallen so behind on my blogroll…this pretty and fresh yellow door brings a smile to my face. You did a fabulous job! It’s such a perfect color for a happy house, but you don’t see it very often. It really stands out! Love your hanging plant too

Oh my goodness. You have no idea how much this means to me. Your sweet words, having you here, all of it. Thank you so much.

You are so right; it is all relative. Seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes is sometimes exactly what you need to actually see yourself….you know?

A Happy Belated Mother’s Day to you!! XOXO

Yes! You are so right. Everyone feels a hot mess in different ways. I am sure you are not as indecisive as you think you are.

Speaking of seeing yourself through someone else’s eyes, YOURS ARE GORGEOUS!
Holy moly, your lashes go on for days.

Since I took a leave of absence from teaching, I definitely don’t style my hair, put on make-up or select a fashionable outfit to sport each day. I’m usually in sweats, un-showered with yesterday’s mascara under my eyes.

But back when I WAS teaching, I remember mothers waiting to pick up their kids along with me after school saying they wished they had my wardrobe. Shocker. Really.

I’d always considered myself the opposite of a fashionista.
But I suppose everything is relative.

All the time.

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to you, pretty lady.
Yes, you.
