Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to take a moment and wish all the lovely mothers out there a happy mother's day! I hope everyone had a great day!!!

I had a great day with my lovely daughter. I may not have a 'mom' to go visit today and it does get me depressed sometimes and I am still working through that but today I promised one thing to my little girl. That I would not let that ruin our day of celebrating together. My baggage will not be hers and I am committed to being the best mom I can to her.

Then I started to reflect a bit, I feel honored to be a mom. When she was born something in me changed, I started realizing that someone else needed me and I had to be stronger for that tiny person. It took some time but slowly I realized I needed to make a lifestyle change and having her in my life helped me make that change. My daughter truly saved my life. She makes me want to be stronger, healthier and most of all happy to be me. By being such a strong positive influence in her life I know she will grow to be a great woman herself. I am so proud to be a mom today and I will celebrate the honor of being her mom each and everyday.

So today we celebrated together. I think this is a new Mother's day tradition I want to begin for our family. Make it a day to celebrate being strong women. So we went out for a walk it was chilly so then we headed to our favorite gluten free bakery All Can Eat for a special treat. We had such a fun day!

How did you spend your Mother's Day?
