Pre-K Graduation

My dear darling daughter just graduated Pre-K. She is officially a school-age kid now. When did that happen!? How in the world did she turn five and get through Pre-K and grow up on me?

Anyway, I know this is absolutely the latest possible Wordless Wednesday post ever (and not-so-wordless at all), but I have to share this moment with all of you.

Why Mothers Day makes me feel uncomfortable….

I love Mothers’ Day. I mean, what mother wouldn’t? The world basically revolves around us for the entire day.

The idea behind Mothers’ Day is to thank our mothers for all they have done and most families give mom a break from her duties for the day. Here’s the problem with that idea…

I get a break everyday.

My husband does the majority of the cooking and, quite honestly, the cleaning. I take the brunt of the kid duties, but that’s because he’s already got his hands full. I feel guilty on Mothers’ Day because my husband, quite literally, won’t let me even help with the stuff he already does.

I can’t wait for Fathers’ Day!

I will say, however, that this Mothers’ Day has been particularly awesome. My girls made me an exorbitant number of cards (Pumpkin alone has given me five already) and the gifts they brought home from school are some that I will keep forever.

The new gym bag was just icing on the cake since mine was falling apart at the seams (literally). Plus, my husband went out and got me french toast from IHOP for breakfast (YUM).

This one goes down as one of the best Mothers’ Days I’ve ever had.

To all the moms out there, Happy Mothers’ Day! I hope this day is as special for you as it has been for me!

Wordless Wendesday: New Belts! (#WW)

Choi Kwang Do Belts

My girls are so very proud – both girls achieved a new belt rank last Friday! Pumpkin is now a Yellow Belt and Dumpling is a White Belt, Brown stripe (one step below a Senior White Belt).

I’m such a proud mama!
