Happy Mother’s Day

I’m a little bit late, but HAPPY MOTHER’S Day!

I was too busy celebrating all the wonderful mothers in my life yesterday to post, but still wanted to pay tribute here.

I have been truly blessed to have wonderful women in my life for as long as I can remember.  I love my mom and am so thankful for all that she has done for me.  I love my mother-in-law and am so glad that I married into such a great family. I’m thankful for my Grandmothers.  I was blessed to be able to know 4 of them and still have 2 living and love their positive examples.  I’ve also be so blessed to have amazing aunts on both sides of my family that I can look up to.  Lately also, I have noticed the wonderful women in my ward, with and without children who are such amazing and strong women.  I have had wonderful friends who have been so positive and uplifting in so many ways and have taught me so many things.

Thank you to all the women in my life. You will never know how much I have learned and grown from your examples.

So to all you mothers out there, young or old, married or unmarried, with children or without: Happy Mothers Day. And even though I’m not a mother yet, I’m so happy and thankful for a day to celebrate the divinity that I have in me to be a mother. The Lord has truly blessed women with a wonderful blessing to nurture, love and take care of those around us. And that is what we can celebrate not matter what stage of life we are in.

(The image is a Mother’s Day Bookmark I made. The bishopric in our ward asked me to help them out by making a mother’s day bookmark to give to the ladies in the ward with a cookie. I thought it turned out pretty and wanted to share it. Enjoy! Oh: also, the background is a really cute digital scrapbooking paper that I bought from scrapgirls.com.  If you like digital scrapbooking they have lots of cute things.)
