Mother's Day

Lulu is old enough that she's really starting to get into Mother's Day and I have to say, I totally dig it. She insisted I have breakfast in bed and wanted me to eat dinner in bed, too!  (I think watching me eat dinner in bed back in April of 2013 after I got back from the ER with a kidney stone really made an impression because now she thinks that's like a really special event??).

So, I enjoyed a tasty breakfast, compliments of my loving husband who was woken up early to make my breakfast.

But, I can't say that I enjoyed the kitchen afterwards...?

And my family got me a beautiful necklace that I adore and wear often!



And later that afternoon, when Gropius took Lulu with him to work/play outside and I had some quiet time to myself (the best present of all!), I made myself a tasty almond cake.





Happy Mother's Day, everyone!
