Mother’s Day is just around the corner

I love Mother’s Day.
Believe it or not, I actually love Mother’s Day MORE than my birthday!
My kids have always made Mother’s Day great and that’s why I enjoy it so much.
Last year for Mother’s Day, the kids made me cards, attempted to serve me breakfast in bed and then took me out for lunch AND dinner!
It was such a nice day.
And it has to be the best one I have had in the 12 years I have been a mom EXCEPT….
my first Mother’s Day will always be my favorite.
Zack was born in February 1999, so my first Mother’s Day was when he was a few days shy of being 3 months old.
My mom went out of her way to get me a card from him (that I still have).
Not to mention that day care also made sure I got a little something from him as well….

This is the front of the Mother’s Day Card Zack ‘made’ me for my 1st Mother’s Day in 1999.
The inside of my 1st Mother’s Day Card from Zack – 1999

Your first Mother’s Day is one you never forget and I know that I never will.
Over the years, the kids have made me a few other pieces of artwork and I thought I would share with you because homemade gifts from kids are truly the best kind!!
