I’ll probably change my mind when Kens is about 13…but today I can safely say that I didn’t want a “day off” for Mother’s Day. I love absolutely everything about being a mom – even the not so glamorous parts – because it means I have the most precious gift of all!

Today was the PERFECT first Mother’s Day! Our normal Sunday routine is church then brunch; however, everywhere was extra packed with Mother’s Day reservations so we switched it up and brunched at home! 

Not only did chris get up with Kens when she decided she was ready to party at 6:15 and let me sleep another hour and a half, he also cooked up this amazing spread! 

After brunch, we headed up to Daytona to see Chris’ family for the afternoon! Kensie got to spend a little time with her Grandma and Grandpa, Aunts and Uncle and cousins and even met her 2nd cousins! Everyone else was taking photos with K so I kind of forgot to take many myself…whoops. 

I don’t think you can truly understand a momma’s love until you become one. Being a mom is the most overlooked job there is, but also the most rewarding. 

I’m so thankful for ALL the moms in my life – whether you’ve been a mother figure to me or simply a friend. Thank you for the guidance, encouragement and support as I raise KB. 

All the “my mom is the best” posts today are so true. Your mom is the best mom for you. There really is no love like a mother’s love! 

To all the moms: every little ordinary, mundane and routine thing you do every single day adds up to so much and it is nothing short of amazing. You are nothing short of amazing. Happy Mother’s Day!!!
