May Flower Power Picts

Wondering what to do with those awesome pictures of May flowers that you've taken? Here you go!

#1 Give them away!

Shopping for my mother-in-law can be tricky, so last year I thought I'd do something a little bit different.  She is an avid gardening woman & spends hours in her yard with her plants.  When these tulips came up last year I snapped a snot, stuck it in a little dollar store frame, wrapped it with a ribbon, and gave it to her on Mother's Day.  

She's still talking about it.  

Mother's Day may be past, but maybe a birthday is coming...? ;)

#2  Make a Book!

Paper Coterie is one of my favorite paper product places...and they did not pay me to say that! :) Making a journal, planner, or notebook are super easy & cute.  Putting a flower collage onto the cover of journal would be a great way to save the pictures!

 

#3 Share 'Em!

Show us your "flower power" pictures here!  Feel free to link up to our flower party to inspire others with your awesome photos!

Happy linking!

Top 5 Reasons Why

{Motherhood}

Ah, to be a mother.  Whether you have your own kids or if you've wiped a kids nose in the last day...there is nothing like loving and nurturing little ones. 

Today I would like to share my current top 5 reasons I love being a mom.  

#5

Being a mom makes me always on my "A" game. I never know when a pirate or a swordsman will sneak up on me!

#4 

It doesn't matter what I wear...or what they wear...we still love each other. :)

#3
There is never a dull moment...unless the kids are sleeping.:)

#2
I get to learn patience...whether I want to or not.

#1
I never knew I could love little people so much.  My heart has been opened in ways I never knew...and I'll never be the same because it.

And you know me...so last minute.  And I'll be sharing some last minute Mother's Day ideas tomorrow on Fresh Living Ch 2 in SLC as well as on the blog.  See you soon!
