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

Sunday Morning Musings from a former sickie! and a Happy Birthday Wish!

Happy Sunday - praising God for this day of feeling good as the last 24 hours were miserable!  This is my first cup of coffee since dinner Friday night - I was so, so sick.  Woke up in the middle of the night with such a bad headache - felt like my head was going to explode.  Then around 9:30 AM - the stomach stuff hit - I threw up about every 1/2 hour all day till 10:30 PM - could not eat a thing.  A little sip of water sent me running to the bathroom.  But around 11PM I could tell I was doing better.  By this morning, I was able to eat and have coffee again!!!!  My only after affect is a pulled muscle in my back from all the heaving.  Sorry for the graphic account - but these are my musings :)

Love this set up coffee mugs I received for Christmas last year from my friend, Septembra.  It is a set of four in different colors, and every time I drink from them they remind me of my Mom.  We must have had a set that was similar to these.  And she was also a coffee LOVER.  She is especially on my mind today, as it would have been her 96th birthday if she was still alive - miss her every day!

I also wanted to share a great Sale-a-bration set that you can earn free by placing an order with me for $50 or more - but you have to act fast, as this set is only available through Feb. 15, 2016.  You can order through my website by clicking the SHOP NOW button on the right of this page to view the catalogs, order and have it shipped right to your home.  You don't want to miss out on getting this set.  Below is a masculine version that I made for cards for my brothers' birthdays this year - all seven of them.  If they are reading my blog - they will need to close their eyes so they don't see it - lol! 

I recently started a growth group with my downline - and wanted to get a journal just to use for those exercises - so I used the same set to decorate the front of my journal.

And using almost the same layout - made a bunch of these more feminine versions of the card to send out for encouragement to my downline.

Last, but certainly not least - I want to wish a very happy birthday to this beautiful young woman, my youngest daughter, Heidi.  She shares this birth date with my Mom - which is so cool to me.  I am so very proud of her and all she has done as an entrepreneur, a daughter, a sister, a Mom, a wife and the list goes on.  She is amazing and I'm wishing her a life where truly - the Sky is the limit!!! Love you kiddo!

See you all soon - have a great Sunday!  ~Maureen

To some of the very specialist women in my life - my Mom, Bernice, who is now in heaven.

My Mother-in-law, Gloria, who continues to inspire me at 94 years of age.

My oldest daughter, Jenee, amazing mother to three of my grandbabies.

And my youngest daughter, Heidi, also an amazing mother to my other four grandkids. 

So much love goes out to these amazing women - and to many others who have had an impact on my life - my sister, Sharon, for one.  But there are too many to mention here.  You all know who you are - family and friends - who have been there for me in so many ways.  This may be Mother's Day - but even though you may not be my Mom - you have touched my life in amazing ways!  So this day is for YOU!!!!   Love you all, Maureen
