You are the mom I strive constantly to be like. I love you friend, happy Mother's Day!
yep, yes, oh yeah...to so many of those!! Hope you have a love-filled weekend!
This is so sweet, thanks for reminding me of the important things in motherhood and what an adorably sweet lil blog.:) Happy mother's day!
This is so incredibly sweet....Makes me look forward to it even more. I am sure I will be the mom who is never okay with vomit, who steals kisses before I go to bed, and who wishes to freeze time. So sweet. Happy mother's day to you!
Oh and those photos are ridiculously adorable. The tutu--If I have a girl, I will be the mom who owns one for her daughter as well.
One word: Precious.

Love this! Love you.

(I think skipping school on your birthday is the right thing to do... that may be because my mom did those kinds of things with me. =)
She's so lovely! X

this was such a beautiful post. i hope you had an amazing mothers day :)
I loved this post. Loved it! I love your spirit.
God, I am so sorry I missed reading this on Friday. It is AMAZING.
I think we are a very similar type of mama. I will be in bed, ready for sleep and think...I haven't checked on Ava. I will think I am crazy and then...I will make myself crazy if I DON'T GO.
That is the kind of mama I am.
A little neurotic. ;)
Hope you had a beautiful Mother's Day!! xo
That made me cry. You are such a wonderful mom, Christina. You are one of my very favorite mom examples, and I learn so much from you! Happy Mothers Day!

i am the mom who wants them to love the LORD their God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
And what an encouraging and inspiring and amazing mom you are!
