My First Mother's Day

My first official Mother’s Day and it was everything that I wanted-- A whole day with my family, the three of us.  We had no plans-- No agenda and nowhere to be.  Just the way I like it.  It was a day that we set aside for us to simply spend time together.  To be a family.  So, that’s just what we did.

As I settle into motherhood I’m discovering that life is truly all about the little things and my Mother’s Day was full of the “little things”:  A special pancake breakfast, a late morning snooze, an afternoon bubble bath, and hours of watching Ella be a little rollie-pollie.   Nothing too out of the ordinary.  And then it hitt me...

My everyday is “Mother’s Day”.  My days may not be filled with a pancake breakfast, or a late morning snooze, or even an afternoon bubble bath, BUT they are full of little things.  Everyday I get the little things.  Every morning I wake up to a happy and healthy baby.  We have our morning “chat” and play time, and share our day together.  Before we know it Daddy’s home and ready to play too.  The days are usually nothing too "exciting", but nonetheless it’s what it’s all about.  Besides, you'd be surprised as to what I find exciting these days.

I’m so blessed to have my little family-- To have a Husband that appreciates the “little things” just as much as I do, and to have a daughter as special as Ella.  Life. Is. Good.
