Today is a special day. Please join me in wishing a very special lady in my life a
Today is my mother's birthday! I just got off the phone with her and I almost told her I was honoring her day with a blog post...ooops! She's gonna kill me when she sees this. And not just because I'm "spotlighting" her by wishing her a happy birthday. But because I'm "spotlighting" her with these.....
This is me and my mom at the Bronx Zoo.
My first Communion.
And, back in August of 2006.
And I'm not gonna share it..................................................LOL!
Oh boy, I'm gonna get it for posting that one! But hey, it's a risk I'm willing to take. I think she looks AWESOME!!
Some of you may remember, last year for Mother's Day, I used this photo to do a scrapbook layout for my mom as a gift. I saw it when I was at her house for Spring Break, back in April. It's nicely tucked away...on a shelf...in her spare bedroom. She loves it!! HAHAHA
Anyway, I didn't share any of these pictures to embarass my mother or anything like that. I simply love her to pieces and wanted to dedicate a post to her on her special day. Hopefully, she'll forgive me.
I am very blessed to have her as a mother and wouldn't trade her for the world. I thank God everyday for choosing HER for ME. We've had our "issues". But what mothers and daughters don't? We are better women for it and our love for eachother has never been shaken.
Well, let's not forget that today is not only my mothers birthday. But it's FRIDAY! And we know what that means. It's time for a flower fix!
Oh how I love Calla's! Other than tulips (purple ones), these have got to be my favorite. So delicate and beautiful.
So, what have you guys got planned for the weekend? Anything wild, fun & interesting? We might be getting together with some friends this evening. And then tomorrow afternoon, we're going to celebrate another friends 40th birthday at a pool party. I'm looking forward to that one. Then of course, church on Sunday. Other than that, we don't have much going on. Nothing like a lazy Summer weekend!
Well, that's about it for me today. I think I'm gonna take little missy down to the pool. Some of her friends are gonna be down there.
So with that, I'll bid you all a farewell. Have an awesome weekend. And don't forget to Be Inspired...I am!! Toodles!

Hi, Dawn. This is my first time visiting here. I LOVE this post in honor of your mother. I was completely drawn in with the stroller picture, and that swimsuit one was great! Hmm. I'm also guessing that you like purple, like I do! Stop by and see me some time. Have a great 4th.
Your Mom is so classy looking, I love that zoo photo!!
Love the old pictures!!!
