I hope and pray that all the Mothers had as nice of a day spent with their children as I did. My Mother’s Day was the fulfillment of one of those “I can’t wait till they grow up and …. “
“I can’t wait till they grow up and talk…I can’t wait till they grow up and are potty trained..I can’t wait till they grow up and walk… I can’t wait till they grow up and go to school…get a job…move out…etc. My “I can’t wait” was having them drive me to lunch and paying for it tip and all!
Although there are times that I long for my sons to be toddlers again, it’s a beautiful thing when they are old enough to appreciate and show
- how much they care without coaxing. I was very surprised when hubby told me that the boys planned on taking me out for lunch and it was a beautiful day with just the two of them. Afterwards we stopped at Lowes to get flowers and of course to Goodwill for the Mother’s Day $5 off $20 sale.

At Ross I purchased another As Seen On TV item, the Hair Bean. I tried it, liked it, and feel it was well worth the cost.
Just happened to see this in a bin and decided to give it a try
Little to no shedding
- I liked the results

This pallet was $5.00, I guess @DollarTree has to change it’s slogan – “Dollar Tree Where Everything is $1.00”
Here are some cute, inexpensive items that can be purchased, placed in a basket and given as a Mother’s Day gifts.
All of these items are mine – yippee – Happy Mother’s Day to me!!!

I have been wanting to wear these white pants for several weeks now but the weather hasn’t been warm or sunny enough.
Today is the day, and in my head I hear the woman in the commercial saying, “don’t wear white after Labor Day – who are you? – my grandmother?” The actress, Lisa Raye wears white everyday so here I am in my white pants before Memorial Day.

- my God is Awesome
- i look in the mirror and see my mother
- bore but did not raise me
- died before I really got to know her
- feared I would have to care for her in her old age
- grandmother said in order to live a long life you have to treat everybody right and pray

After lunch with my sons on Mother’s Day, we stopped at Goodwill in Middletown.
2 pairs of Lee walking shorts – $3.75 each
Pair of new, with tags White Stag walking shorts – $3.75
Malik found a pair of Dockers Mens Slacks for $1.88 and a Sean Jean Polo for $3.75
California Krush sleeveless dress – $5.00
A pair of white flats that will become another DIY project.
