Lovely pre-Mother’s Day Saturday brunch with my family honoring my most wonderful mama. ❤

The way these beautiful flowers from Melanie look against the green outside my window. Thank you for this little bit of sunshine, Melanie!

Despite not feeling well, managing, with the kids’ help (well, they did most of the work…), to get the car washed, lawn mowed, and the front yard mostly weeded yesterday. And to, um, get all the burrs off my sweater and out of my hair.

• Pro gardening tip #1: Don’t wear a fuzzy sweater to pull out dead stuff and weeds.
• Pro gardening tip #2: Put long hair into ponytail before commencing with same.

Coffee with my kids today. What more could a mama want?

The vinegar and baking soda worked to clean out the horrible-smelling drain. Hooray! No plumbing projects for us today. 🙂

My kids’ wonderful ways of cheering their slightly overwhelmed mom… like sending me photos of our super cool cat, Toby, and making sparkly not-mother’s-day cards for me.
