Happy Mother's Day: Our RV Journey - Summer Trip - Day 9

“Enjoy the little things,
for one day you may look back
and realize they were the big things.”
–Robert Brault

Happy Mother's Day! Recognize and celebrate what makes you a GREAT Mom today!!! Take a few minutes to sit with your kids and count your blessings. We are off to make a yummy brunch for my Mom and my Mother-in-law! Then spend the rest of the day with our siblings and all of our nieces and nephews. Time flies by so fast and our family continues to grow. So glad to spend this Mother's Day with all of them.

Sneakers & Other Simple Pleasures

Yesterday for Mother's Day, I joyously received a new pair of sneakers! We also went out to lunch and stopped at the health food store to replenish my vitamins. Sounds mundane to some of you? I really needed and wanted a new pair of sneakers. Can you tell that one of my top 5 values this year is health? As I have been focusing on my health this year, I feel really good - healthy and energetic. I have lost weight. I have been exercising and planning my meals.
Speaking of meals.....check out May's month of meals. Maybe you need to spice up your meals, need a filler or just want to try something new. There are a lot of ideas there. My new goal is to experiment with beans and make some meals with beans in them.
Other pleasures I got to enjoy on Mother's Day:
take a walk*enjoy a prepared, leisurely breakfast with my family*go to church*listen to a rainstorm*enjoy lunch out*indulge in a treat*new sneakers*spend time with my family*read a book for me (not to be confused with reading a children's book to my children, which I also enjoy)*lots of kisses and hugs*taking a bath*getting in my pajamas much too early*snuggling with the kids in bed*quiet time with my hubby*going to bed early, especially on a Sunday night as we prepare for the week ahead!
