Mothers Day Recap

I hope all of you lovely mothers out there had a wonderful mother's day!

My Mother's Day began with a wonderful brunch at The Orchard House where I ate wayyy too much, but enjoyed every bite as well as the amazing view.

The boys got me a beautiful Stella and Dot necklace with the letter 'A' charm and Andrew's birthstone charm. It's small, which I love, and perfectly special to honor the little guy that made me a momma.

Then it was off to get a pedi with my friend Virginia, followed by a bit of shopping while the boys napped. 

Unfortunately we didn't get to see either of our mothers in person (since they live 13+ hours away), but we were able to FaceTime them and open their gifts. I was super excited for what I got my mom and had to show all of you lovely ladies! It's an adorable Kansas cutting board from etsy with a heart over the city they've lived in for 28 years and where I was born and raised.

Derek's siblings always get their mom something nice, but this year I wanted to get her and Cal something myself for Mother's Day/Father's Day. I found this adorable little charm that says "thank you for raising the man of my dreams". I thought it was cute for the in-laws.

And in other news, if you've been following my saga of the baby birds, they are officially fledglings! Yesterday, while we were outside, we saw one jump/fall out of the nest. I was nervous that he accidentally fell so we grabbed some gloves, I carefully caught him and plopped him back in his nest. He stood up, looked at me like "wtf lady?" and flew back off his nest. A couple hours later, the nest was empty and all three babies were out and about. I'm hoping they'll make it with our crazy neighborhood cats out and about, but this morning one did greet me outside so at least one made it!
