Every previous Mother's Day, all the mothers in our families (that would be Mom, two sisters, sister-in-law and moi) spent our day cooking for the whole family. Our Mom prefers it that way since it would be so chaotic to have all twenty of us dining out. But not this year! I've made an executive decision for everyone...we're having our girls' day out! No screaming kids, no cleaning, no laundry, no errands, no chauffeuring anybody around, no changing diapers, no wiping bums, and no cooking for one day!!

When it comes to being a Mom, we might have a different set of "manual" on how to raise our own children. But there is one thing that I know we all have in common is a wish for our children will be healthy and happy throughout their lives.

Seeing your four year-old coming off the school bus very excited because he has a flower hidden in his backpack just for Mother's Day is truly priceless.

Here was Trent holding the flower especially for me.
