Happy Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! 

As a mother's day gift to myself I spontaneously took my girls, baby bump, and stressed-to-the-max self to the magical lilac wall for some photos, because I guess I wanted to push my sanity off a cliff for good. ;) So it was all kind of comical to me, and really very fitting for this time of life. I am maxed out yet there's yet another child on the way, and this particular recent day had been a very hard one for me. The girls were not dressed up in any special, planned outfits- just what they had been wearing that day. Yet there we were, pretty flowers, wonderful girls, and a determined me. 

And when all of that is the case, you take whatever photos you can get. 

But over all, these turned out perfect. I wanted to write some moving piece on mother's day but I'm too exhausted to think and I feel like these photos tell the story I want to tell anyway.

As tired as I look, haha 

Here's the baby boy bump at 24 weeks

In the end, all the girls really wanted to was to play in this random crater of mud. They ended up covered in dirt. This also seemed like a fitting way to wrap things up.

So here's to the three little crazy girls who make me a mother. 💜 Here's to the little son on his way. 

Here's to my mom- any good thing I've ever done for my girls has been from her example in my life. 

Here's to a wonderful mother in law who is involved in our lives and who raised the most wonderful man.

Here's to my grandmas who inspire me to keep going with the legacy's they've made.

Here's to my sisters who are the sweetest mothers to watch.

Here's to all my friends who lift me up on my dark mother days and show me it will all be okay. 

Here's to women everywhere, who truly are "mothers" in every way, kids or not, we are all born with innate desire to care for others and things and to live beautiful lives full of creating.

And here's to the good days and the bad ones. 

And to walls of lilacs.

 

Happy Mother's day. 💖
