Happy Mother's Day!

I want to take some time to recognize 3 special mommy's today.

First will be Ashley- she had Luci in November, and she's a doll (both mom and daughter). I really admire Ashley because no matter what is going on in her life, she's always happy and stays positive. That's something that to me is hard to do sometimes, so I don't know how she does it. Something else I love about Ashley is that she's funny as hell (especially when she's sarcastic), and she always tells it like it is. No BS from her. Ashley is strong, beautiful, courageous, and a blast to be around. I miss her dearly, and I hope she visits soon. I met her through The Knot, and she's one of my best friends and I wish her a fabulous mother's day with her daughter Luci.

Here's Miss Luci looking so gorgeous:


Next will be Lauren- she had her son Jackson about a week ago, so she's really a new mom. I know she's super busy, but all her e-mails this past week have been really happy and joyous, so she's loving motherhood and it suits her well. Lauren is nurturing and she's always willing to lend a hand. She made all of my bridal shower favors, she is lending me a ton of stuff for my wedding, she just really cares and listens. I can't imagine having gone through all this wedding stuff without her. She is amazing. Lauren is also another girl I met on The Knot, and it's funny whenever I mention Lauren or Ashley to someone they always think I've known them for a long time instead of a couple of years or so. Lauren- happy mother's day, your son is a cutie.

Here's Jack the Cutie:


And last, but certainly not least, is my mom. My mom raised me as a single mother, and though she can be nuts sometimes, she's a great mom. She is always there to defend me (even if I am wrong), she's there to listen, she's there to yell, she's there to cry, to laugh, to everything...She's just great. I'm getting married in 2 weeks (actually 13 days...wow!) and with my wedding getting nearer, I keep thinking about how lucky I am to have a mom like my mom. She's listened to my million and one mind changes (ivory or white or off white) and she's always tried her best to be there for me. I love you mom- always and forever.



To all the other mom's who happen upon this post- Happy Mother's Day! You're all amazing.
