My mother is an inspiration and source of joy to me and my 2 sisters. We are spending a wild giggly weekend together!

Hmmm, Well I am a mother of 1 (so far). My daughter is 9 months old and a happy silly little girl! She always makes me laugh & smile which is the best part about being a momma!

I’ve got two kids, and mother’s day is always free of cooking for me. My hubby and the boys take care of it.
Your skirt is gorgeous!
Thanks for the chance.

My Momma taught me how to bake and how to sew and so many other wonderful things. I don’t have kids yet – just two bassets – but i’m pretty sure they think I’m an okay Momma, too.

Donna on May 12, 2013 at 8:13 am

I have four children as well, like you three girls and a boy. Lucky me I also have 6 grandchildren three of each. See you in Portland. I arrive around 3 and Brooke around 6. Great to see you again.

This book looks awesome. My mother in law was the queen of hospitality, and I think I learned a lot by just watching her. There was always room for one more at her table. Guests were treated like royalty. We lost her a year ago, and it has been hard to get through holidays with her not being there to direct and love. She was certainly the glue that held the family together. Thanks so much for the giveaway.

Since I have no childern, my husband calls it Happy Crazy Cat Lady Day!

Happy belated Mother’s day to you too. In England it is in March and called Mothering Sunday. I have 3 children and the best part of the day is breakfast in bed, in fact my husband children take over all the meals that day. It also usually involves chocolate.

I have 2 grown daughters that always treat me to a special Mother’s Day! This year they cooked dinner for their grandmas also.

My kids brought me breakfast in bed, homemade cards and poems, and a new basket for my bike and helmet. 🙂

I’m just getting into sewing (oh well, trying to anyway) so this might a great book for me to get some ideas. I love seeing your projects.
Who knows maybe next year a sewn mother’s day present. LOL
Thanks so much for the giveaway.
