Happy Mother's Day

It's a busy day as I am getting ready for a lovely Mother's Day brunch on Sunday! I am filled with thoughts of motherhood as I make my grocery list and prepare the house for our guests. I can't wait to celebrate each of these fabulous women who hold the most difficult title in the world; Mommy. I am so happy to be hosting this shindig and can't wait to spoil them all. I am off to shop, then to clean, and then to cook. But first I want to send a very special Mother's Day hug to my mommy - Love you Mother Duchard! I also wanted to share a few funny quotes about the sanctity and reality of Mommyhood, and wish everyone very Happy Mother's Day!
