Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing mom I know! Thank you for always being there for me, for making me laugh, for warning me about radar on the road, and for teaching me about how to be a great mom. I appreciate you now so much more now that I am a mom! Thank you for the encouragement, the prayers, the help, and for just being there. No matter how old I am I know I will always need my mom :)

Mom and I when I was born

Mom looking good as always!

That's right...no other words

I am also so grateful for a wonderful mother-in-law who did an amazing job raising her son!

So for Mother's Day I decided to get Luke and Madison's butt prints on a plate so the grandmother's could cherish them forever! They turned Madison's butt print into a ladybug (her toes were the dots) and Luke's into a lion. My unbelievable sister had the BEST surprise of Mother's Day...when my aunt and I took Luke and Madison to have this done the lady asked if it would be ok if they did an extra one to display in the store. I said sure and didn't think a thing about it. On Mother's Day I gave the plates to my mom and then my sister said, "Do you remember the lady doing 2 extra to 'display in the store?' Well, she made these for you!!!" I cried like a baby! I was so excited to have 2 of my own! What an amazing sister I have! I could never say thank you enough! Jennifer is an incredible mom. I have learned so much from her!

So Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mothers I know. I always dreamed about being a mom. I think I always wanted to be a mom because I had such a great mom to look up to!

  3. Hey girls! I got them done at a place called The Blazing Pot. It is at the corner of Hwy 14 and Pelham Road. They were great to work with!

  4. Butt plates...How cute is that?!! I've seen plates done with hand prints, but their little bottoms... that's even cuter! :) Happy 1st Mother's Day, Natalie! You are such an amazing mom... wish we lived closer too!
