This Mother's Day was just what I needed - time with my family doing so many things I love.
I woke up to breakfast in bed. Each kiddo had a special job to help prepare the meal. I love seeing how proud they are and how excited they seem to be when they say "surprise" after I had been hearing them prepare all morning.
I sat in bed eating and watching some HGTV while each child spent some extra time cuddling with me.
After a lazy morning we drove to West Bend, IA to tour "The Grotto."
This place had been on my bucket list and it did not disappoint. It was fascinating to hear the story of the priest who built it and see the amazing detail.
It was a holy and quiet place that made me feel so grateful for my role as a mother. It doesn't get easier year after year, it changes daily, and I am always questioning if I am doing the right thing. However, I am at peace with the fact that I know I am doing my best.
On the way home, we listened to music and sang together. That evening we enjoyed dinner and a boat ride.
It was a full day overflowing with reminders of all the ways I have been blessed.
