Happy Mother’s Day — Link Up

With my girls Julia and Sophia

Happy Mother’s Day!

How are you celebrating your day?

My Mother’s Day again this year is made extra special because of my first born Julia. Six years ago today — Sunday, Mother’s Day — Julia was born. My first Mother’s Day after years of waiting and praying for her to come.

Today my focus will be Julia’s birthday party because she and her little sister Sophia are my most amazing gifts. Celebrating my 6 year old’s birthday joy is the perfect Mother’s Day for me.

We want to hear how you spent your special day. If you posted about Mother’s Day, link up below…

    Great picture – so glad you have MULTIPLE things to celebrate on Mother’s Day. I do, too. My mom’s b’day is always the same weekend AND I celebrate my LadyBug very soon, too. She was born after many years of “dump trucks and dinosaurs” – and I’ll always remember how happy I was to see PINK surrounding me 🙂

    I have learned over the past 6 years to be so grateful for being a mother. My kids teach me so much…and I know that sounds cheesy but it is true. I blogged about how a scary experience with my middle son has helped me to grow even more in to mothering. Happy Mother’s Day!
