Sunday Morning Musings - Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing women out there - especially to those who have been a part of my life.  You mean the world to me - and I hope your special day is wonderful!!

This has been a tough week for me - really missing my Mom in heaven this Mother's day!  Life is a bit overwhelming and what I wouldn't give to be able to sit and have a cup of coffee with her to discuss it all.  She was such a wise woman.

Also, missing my daughter Heidi, son-in-law and grandkids in California.  But I am fortunate to have hubby, daughter Jenee and her kids here with me - so am counting my blessings as I get to hug them.  Here they all are - sans son in law Aaron - he was probably hiding.

I'm so behind in life right now that no one got hand-made Mother's day cards from me this year (except Paul's Mom) - but I was able to do some stamping with the kids yesterday, so they could make cards for Jenee.  

They had such a good time - and are good little stampers.  I know their Mom will love the cards and their creativity.  Now on another note - you all know my addition to coffee - well - I guess my daughter's do too - here is part of what they gave me for Mother's day!  Heidi sent me the one on the left and Jenee gave me the one on the right this morning :)  They are just too cute!

My lovely goofs - Heidi and Jenee!

On a final note today - if your Mom is still alive - I ask that you please honor her.  It is a thankless job in so many ways (paying off with hugs and kisses) - but it's so nice for them to know that you appreciate all they do.  So now's the time, while you can - an extra call, card, flower, hug or kiss - do it!! Happy Mother's Day y'all!  ~Maureen

Homemade Mugs :)

So for Christmas this year Paisley and Prince made us mugs.  The first two pictures are of the one that Paisley made for me.  You've got to read what it says, "I love you when you're sad, mad, happy, glad, constipated, loving, angry, blue .... I Love you!!  How cute is that - she is a kick.  I asked her if she knew when I was constipated, and she said no - but it sounded funny - and I agree.  I love it!!  I is my new work mug!

Here is the other side of it -

 She also made one for Papa - obviously he is never constipated :)

 And the other side allows  him to be a "Duck Dynasty" character.

 Here is the one Prince made Papa - this side shows him and Papa together (he loves his Papa) -

 And this side says it all - the fish are a nod to their fishing trip a bit back.   Very sweet!

I'm afraid the baked marker images may wear off - so I'm glad I've captured them in pictures here, as these made us smile.  ~Maureen
