Happy Mother's day to all the fantastic Mom's out there! I have a LOT of Family and Friends who are wonderful Mommies, and I am so thankful to be part of their world:)

I also happen to have a very AWESOME Mom of my own! I promised you in yesterday's post that I would be bragging about my beautiful Mom for Mother's Day, and that this would be the most personal post I published to-date. I am keeping that promise, and I am very excited to share with you the very woman who has made me the woman I am today. 

Have you noticed as you get older your perspective changes? I remember when I was about 15 years old I saw my Mom in a new light. She was still my Mom of course, but I acknowledged that she was also a Daughter, a Sister, an Auntie, a Wife.. not just my Mom. In addition to all those things and being my Mom, I saw what an amazing woman she truly is.

One of my favorite things to do is go through her old photos, and run down memory lane with her.. In my younger years I would often get caught snooping in the back room of my Grandparents house looking through a giant chest filled with old photos and cards..

Those photos were of my Mom's Mom, and her life as Daughter, Sister, Girlfriend, and eventually Wife, Mother, and Grandma... Pictures upon pictures of the life they had.

.. These two very stunning, assertive, amazing women have done so much for their family, and their kids--it's no wonder Hallmark created a holiday celebrating Mothers.

Of course there are amazing men behind these beautiful ladies, and sure they helped craft some gorgeous children, but let's face it; Father's Day is in June... ;)




I'd like to introduce to you, my Grandma "Vicki" ~ My Mom's Mom..

Victoria Elizabeth August 1946

Isn't she gorgeous? I have been going through pictures upon pictures this week, and I have found tons of pictures of my Grandma and Grandpa from when they were my age (or even younger). They were the sweetest couple... their love story runs deep, and is so romantic, you would think it was straight out of a movie! However, that beautiful--and tragic--story is for another post; for now, let's look at the gorgeous girls they created!

Here is a picture of my My Auntie, My Mom, and My Grandma! Even after having two kids my Grandma is sportin' a tiny waist! Wasn't she a dish!
