 1. Mothers Day is a day I always think of M's birth mother because M was born on Mothers Day 6 years ago and I can't imagine the feelings of the day for her, and of course old feelings surface and I think a lot of the gratitude I have for my children's birth families for making me a mother.  It was an alright day, but everyday just the fact that I am a mother is so much to be grateful for....and how could I not be with these beautiful kids to spend eternity with:)....sunday instagram  

{K2 doesn't have food on his face he fell down the stairs and scratched up his face boy boy:(

2. What made mothers day besides my children and the cute gifts from all it was kind of a hard day.....but at the end of the day winning a mothers day giveaway from shabby lane boutique so that was exciting:)Check out there cute headbands:)

3. An awesome article, having just got a phone for Christmas a lot of this rang true even though I try hard to keep it put away, it is one of my biggest pet peeves as an adult looking around.....what are we telling our children by our actions?

4. M had his 6 th birthday yesterday I can't even believe he is six {truthfully feels more like he is 16 haha} but it was busy busy day!! He was so excited for it to finally be here and to be 6! I went to his kindergarten class and spent a little time with him t here and brought treats for his class then right after school he had a "summer" party thank goodness it was hot!..... painters plastic slip n slide....freezies, trampoline sprinkler lots of boy fun:)!! They played wore me out but he had fun and that is what matters most:)

 We sure love this boy he may be a crazy, busy independent boy with many gaurdian angels watching over him.....but he is a nice boy, a loving boy, and has a smile that never quits......... he loves life and everything to do with it!! AND WE LOVE HIM!!!

5. Did you know you can buy the best ever tortilla land uncooked tortillas at Costco here now:) for us deprived Canadians of USA products I am so excited they are found in the middle seafood area so AWESOME:)

6. I think I want to grow my hair out my perfect hairdresser moved far away and though I have some nice girls to cut it ....it just hasn't been the same...plus some days I dream of flowing perfect hair that moves...but who am I kidding it would go right up and look the same everyday ha ha:)

7. I kind of love pinterest I love the ideas I find I love the outfit ideas and most of all the simple recipes and things to do with the kids...I use it to search for things a lot and I don't waste hours on it but I sure love it! A late at night addiction?? maybe? We tried the baking soda vinegar dropper fun the boys loved it.....and spent forever doing it!!

8. We also have a new cafe Verde like unto cafe rio!! and it is SO good I kind of crave it!! YEAH!!

9. Why is it that all my favorite tv shows are pretty much canceled half way through or after this season..... seriously people don't like clean? they like the dirty smutty stuff seriously sad!! The more years that go by I realize how weird I must be cause so many things I like get discontinued or canceled:(

10. Sometimes we just need to cry.its okay. i Love this song.  

{pause the music at the bottom before you start it though:)

...I was running this morning and a song that has the lyrics "sucks to be you" came on and I thought yeah sometimes it does if I were to think like that ..... then I shuffled the song and this song "just let me cry" came on and I thought exactly sometimes there are parts of life that are so unfair, so hurtful, so deep and sometimes they come to the surface from deep within just when you thought you could hide it longer..or not think about it to much.....but its okay to cry....no matter what our circumstances we all have something  that makes us sob our hearts out sometimes...and then to brush off and move on...till the next time.

Just let Me cry.

I believe that everything happens for a reason.
We’re not just tossed by the wind,
or left in the hands of fate.
But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected.
And we’re forced to face our deepest pain.
When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under...
I dig my heels in deep,
and I fight to keep my ground.
Still, at times the hurt inside grows stronger.
And there’s nothing I can do but let out...
Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see.
But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry.
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when...
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.
When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me.
I understood that there would be a chance that it would break.
But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling...
And I know in time He’ll take the pain away.
But for now...
Just let me cry. 

I know it’s hard to see.
But the pain I feel isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry.
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when... and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry.
I have felt joy,
the kind that makes my heart want to sing.
And so my tears are not a surrender,
I’ll feel that way again.
But for now...
For this moment... Just let me cry.
I know it’s hard to see.
But the pain I feel.
Isn’t going away today.
Just let me cry.
Till every tear has fallen.
Don’t ask when...
and don’t ask why.
Just let me cry

Have a great week:)

The greatest part of our happiness depends on our dispositions, not our circumstances.
