WE LOVE MOM'S GIVEAWAY!

With Mother's Day this Sunday, I thought we should do a HUGE shout out to mothers!  Each one of our Vendor's left a note about their Mother's or the woman who raised them for us to read.

I am sitting here typing this with a 5 month old baby sitting on my lap (who just spit up down my shirt and pooped out of his diaper a second ago while he was sitting on my lap!) thinking about my other 4 kids who are in school right now and planning out what the rest of the day will be like!  Picking them up from school, changing out of their school uniforms, helping them with homework, doing the dishes, finishing folding the laundry, driving them to soccer practice, fixing dinner, planning and doing  family night and getting them to bed at a normal hour so they can be ready for school tomorrow!  Today sounds magical compared to Tuesday's or Thursday's schedule! ;) I am the youngest of 8 children, my husband is the oldest of 12 children, so needless to say, we can't believe our mothers survived!  Words can not express my love, appreciation, and awe that I have for my mother.  I love her and like her very much! (Love and Like are two completely different things) She always has M&M's for the kids when she comes to visit, she never forgets a birthday and she always makes sure my kids know her.  She tells them stories about when she was younger and I just love that!

As part of entering this giveaway, one entry will be an opportunity for you to leave a note about your mother, your grandmother or any other motherly figure in your life.

"As an adopted child I am forever thankful for the Mother that brought me in to her family. She is extremely smart and talented in every single area. With 5 children and two Masters degrees, there is nothing she can't do. I grew up watching her cook a full dinner every night, keep our clothes laundered, sew our costumes, wallpaper our rooms and refinish furniture. She has so many talents and she ALWAYS multi-tasked. She would take us all to the grocery store, the furniture or fabric stores,  all while people would stare in awe that she was managing a household of 7 with no outside help. She taught me to be creative, to never give up and to be strong and amazing. She also taught me that I can do all of those things and be a Mother. When people ask me how I do what I do, I usually tell them this is nothing, you should see what my Mother does in a day!!"

"My mom has always been there for me and still is to this day. I call her for any and everything. She has helped me get to where I am today with my business and told me to never give up. She still encourages me to this day! She is my best friend, since we can share so many ideas, thoughts, and emotions all the time. Even though we are states away, I still manage to maintain this relationship with my sweet momma!"

"My Mom is the most patient, selfless, amazing woman I know!  She had 7 kids in 9 years (no duplicates!).  She always put us kids first.  Money was tight growing up, but every summer she would take us to So. Cal and go to the beach for a week; even if it meant being late on a mortgage payment.  She taught me childhood memories are priceless and that they, and family moments are what matter most."
