My Mother's Day Gifts!

Dear Peeps;

Thought I'd share with you what I got from my daughter Chloe for Mother's Day (see above). It's called a Wordle, and my daughter made it in the shape of a shoe (we both LOVE shoes!) with words inside that she used to describe me. I was so surprised!

Here are the words she used for ME, her super lucky Momma!--

• Mom
• fun
• helpful
• amazing
• lovable
• daring
• leader
• beautiful
• Irish
• spiritual
• pretty
• exciting
• weird
• silly
• crazy
• awesome
• caring
• special
• nice
• funny 
• brave
• loving 
• creative

I'm gonna check out this list on the days when I feel like a crappy Mom--and remind myself that my daughter thinks I'm all of these awesome things (on a good day . . . ), and that my best is pretty darn good (even on a bad day . . .). 

My son, Max, made me this card. It says:

Happy Mother's Day!

From: Max

Dear Mom,

I luv you all of the time, (except when you're being a *hoverbot.)

I heart you!                                                                                   --Max

*hoverbot is our code word for when Max feels like I am "hovering" or micromanaging him too much--like a helicopter parent! It's been a great tool for me to know when to back off a bit.
p.s. Max told me that he secretly still loves me even when I am a hoverbot.

What gifts! I'm so grateful . . . Thanks, Chloe & Max!

Love you to the moon and back . . . ;0)

Mom
