Happy belated Mother’s Day to to all the baby mamas out there.
We were never big Mother’s/Father’s day celebrators in my house. Not that we didn’t love the mommas and the papas, but I feel like I was always at camp or something during the parental holidays, and I think they usually just involved a card or some flowers etc. Now, after my first Mother’s Day, I know that it is the most important and sacred holiday of the entire festive calendar.
Pete made it the most pleasant of the days, since Gracie is kind of self involved right now and rarely takes the time to properly acknowledge all we do for her.
“Whas mudders day?”
This afternoon Pete is sending me for an afternoon of beauty, although I am not sure I deserve it after the house cat day I had yesterday while he tended to our child.
Some other things on my brain. I am sure you have all seen it, but the new Lonny is ridiculous.
Congrats to Jamie Meares. 
Her project featured in the issue was out of control. I have been feeling a little uninspired by the spreads I have seen in mags lately, and this one got me SO excited about decorating again. I talk about her a lot on here because I love what she does over at Furbish, but this was like Miles/Olsen/Ridder/Kemble level for me. Which is mayj.
Shifting gears to something equally mayj.
This mothers day gift to myself is going to change my whole world.
Cell phone case, billz holder, wristlet. 
I can take it out and dance with my hands up. I can toss it in the diaper bag, I can clip my keys to it and carry Gracie with it in the store and she can’t reach over my shoulder and empty the contents of my purse on the floor in the check out lane. I simply cannot overstate my excitement about this development.
That is all I have for you this Monday morning.
you’re back! love the kate spade wristlet, i have used it myself and the purple/red combo is just to. die. for. Happy Mother’s Day!
Love that attitude from little G, keep it coming! In love with the wristlet, I’ve seen MKors, but not kate spade’s- very cute!!
Happy Mother’s Day! I think I’m gonna have to invest in that wristlet!
3 things: 1) a very happy mother’s day! looks like you enjoyed it as did the peanut. she’s adorbs 2) i am soooo getting me one of those iPhone cases. need need need! great find! 3) (kinda dumb but big to me) THANK YOU for spelling mayj a better way. i always think it that way and see it as some variation of mahj and think it’s wrong. so thanks!
Totally agree with you about Jamie. It got me all kinds of excited. Loved it so much.
Love. All of it. Where did you get the canvas bag you are using for toys?
I completely agree about Mother’s Day. I think I am even going to put it above my birthday. There needs to be MUCH to do about every single Mother’s Day after going through pregnancy. And I just want to say I’m on the same page as you about scars. I have so many stretch marks after giving birth…that was the worst part of pregnancy for me. Definitely worth it to have a baby, but still it just sucks!
