This Mother's Day...I have my mom.

This Mother's Day I am especially grateful.

My mom no longer lives in Florida.

She and my step dad moved here to Tennessee last month.

For the first time in 8 years...I have my mom here with me to celebrate this day.

I won't be sending her a card and gift in the mail.

Nope.

I will be spending this evening in downtown Nashville at my sister's apartment eating pizza and watching Steel Magnolias...just us three ladies.

I am so excited.

A night of tomato smothered carbs and Ouiser Boudreaux.

Yes please!

We told her we were taking her out to eat.

We lied.

My sister and I bought her a new sewing machine for Mother's Day.

She is super crafty and needs a machine to channel all those creative juices.

Plus I need some new throw pillows. :-)

In the last month she has become my yard sale, thrifting, and antiquing partner in crime.

I am loving it.

I am also loving the friendship I have found in our relationship that goes beyond mother and daughter.

I pray one day that my Maggie and I will share the same sweet bond.




Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful ladies!
