Mothers Day 2012

Another successful Mothers Day came and went this weekend. My mom and sister and I left the kids with the guys and headed out for our "girls day". It was fun and so nice to have a relaxing day of eating and shopping, sans kids! ;) And no phone calls of "when are you gonna be home?" was also a plus. (they guys know better than to bother us on Mothers Day.)

We headed to the Holly Hotel for their Mothers Day Brunch. It was good, but not as great as last year, and our server was less than stellar. We are thinking of changing it up next year. (I'm voting for a spa day.. ;)







After brunch we headed to Heavenly Scent Herb Farm. I LOVE that place and I got some fun ideas for a few baby gifts, and stuff for the kids room, while I browsed their shop. (they have the most gorgeous little store. Seriously. )

Next up was Fratz's Consignment Store. My sister and I only ever go on Mothers Day because A) it's 20 mins north and we are just NEVER up there, and B) we always have the kids with us and you DO NOT take kids into that store. So.... once a year we go up and check it out. This year I got the cutest little dish for our imaginary table in our imaginary kitchen in our imaginary house. ;) (side note: we are still house hunting... but even though we haven't found a place yet... that doesn't stop me from picking out decor for it.. lol) I also found a SUPER cute yellow metal table and chair set for the kids. BUT it's $140 right now and not due to come down in price until June. I'll be calling back in June to see if it's still there. :)




It's the most gorgeous blue I've ever seen and it'll be soo cute for Springtime. :) For now it's living on my mothers real table, in her real kitchen, in her real house. ;) I'm still deciding what to put in it. I'm thinking of tossing some faux lemons/limes in it for the time being.


After we finished our kids-free-shopping we headed back to my sisters for dinner. The boys kept it simple, BBQ chicken, baked beans, and potato salad. (hey, we're lucky they actually cooked. ;) And after dinner the kids burned off some energy playing baseball in the backyard.



Always fun. Next year we will celebrate at OUR house. ;)


(eastons baby feet. I heart him bunches)

All in all it was a good day. :) I'm really blessed to have such great kids and an amazing husband. 

Hope everyone had a fantastic Mothers Day!!
