My Mother’s Day

While I don’t advertise it everyday I am a mother of three beautiful, headstrong, smart and witty daughters. Usually I spend the day on the lawn listening to the shortwave radio and maybe having some home-brewed ice-tea. I might have even planted a number of plants that my number two came home with from pre-school and church with over the last few days. But outside of Philadelphia it is unseasonably chilly and we opted for a movie day.

While the youngest slept, I too longed for a much needed rest and left my oldest and number two on their own to enjoy a movie and as I found later, some creative drawing and craft making. I was pleasantly surprised with their efforts and knew Dad would be proud that left to their own devices they accomplished much in his absence while traveling for work and himself missing Mother’s Day.

So this evening as I catch up on some work, sorely behind in Dad’s absence, I’ve been visiting some sites and treating myself to some other Mother’s Day posts across the web. So, let me share my wanderings:

Visit Cindy at Her Family Blog as she shares her Definition of a Mother.

Mags at The Magnolia Diaries has been talking about middle age this week. Trust me, after a few kids we are all too familiar with the term and we should just get it out there and talk about it.

Brenda at A Return Home shares her beautiful bouquet with us.

Don’t miss Living with a Man if you want to hear about a newlywed discussing mother-in-laws. Personally I can say, I’ve been blessed in that arena.

Happy Mother’s Day!
