Mother’s Day and How I spent my day



I love my children every minute of every day. My beautiful children.

I gazed at you today
and the same beautiful eyes
glowed with love just
like it was
when you were a baby.

Me and 4 month old Lauren

Oh those lovely tiny eyes

It seems a long time ago
since I cradled you in my arms
long after your colic spells
and I just kept rocking you
till you fell asleep.

Me and 6 month old Marielle

What beautiful round eyes like mine

Me and 6 month old Luijoe

round and cute

I want you to always know that
in good and bad times
I will always love you.

No matter what you do
or how you act
or how you think
or what you rant about
you can depend on
my guidance, support
love and friendship

Every minute of every day,

I enjoy being your mother.

I love being your mother.

What joy it is to be a mother!

Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers in the world.

No matter how old they get, in our hearts they will always be our babies. And we will forever be their mothers.

Happy Mother’s Day Noemi! I’m sure that your angel is looking down on you from heaven wishing you love and joy on this day. We may never know the Lord’s reasons for taking away our sons but I am sure that they’re happy in heaven right now, playing with their angel friends. God bless. :-D

That was a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day! I love Dapitan Street too. I go there to “unwind” hehe, either with my sister or my bestfriend. I just love the shabby-chic finds.
Belated Happy Mother’s Day :)

@ajay- we were in room 2528 , the room beside the Presidential Suite. If you only knew the cost of our room, hmm…

@chateau- my daughter liked it so much . she bought a lot of decors for her room. Shabby-chic can be really elegant

@dexie- yes I had a wonderful day. I’m sure you did too

@riz- aww that’s awfully sweet of you to tell your mom.
