Mothers Day Bliss

Ahh, Mothers Day. It's one of my favorite days of the year. I have to say I was extremely spoiled this year by my sweet husband and I LOVED every minute of it. Some people who frequently come into our home may have at times smelled the aroma of our old vacuum, the Kerby. Now this was probably the most unpleasant smell anyone could imagine could come from a vacuum. It was a musky, dog, pee, throw-up kind of smell...isn't that precious? So after many years of drooling over the Dyson vacs, Russell surprised me with one and I was beyond thrilled, elated, excited, shocked and reminded of why Russell rocks the house.

Notice the older, giant, ridiculously heavy Kirby, and the new and improved, very small, quiet, light-weight Dyson Ball. Isn't she pretty?

You know you've really hit motherhood/homemaker when you're so stoked to get a new vacuum!
The rest of Mothers Day was amazing, it consisted of: sleeping in, waking to homemade buckwheat waffles and bacon, a clean kitchen, a card with sweet words from my man, a gift card to Target, being on time to church, not having to change or really deal with the kids, a good lunch/dinner, a cute necklace from my mama, good dessert and a backrub! Who could ask for more? Aside from all the holiday stuff and bragging about my wonderful spouse, I really am so grateful to have been blessed to have had 3 almost perfect pregnancies, and 3 healthy children who I love and adore. Sure motherhood is hard and exhausting at times but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world and I love my kids very much. I'm so lucky to have such a great companionship with Russell because he makes it easy to do my job. Thanks again honey and I hope all the women out there had an awesome day!
