Mother’s Day got off to a late start. Boogie decided that he wanted to wake up at 2am to snack and play. He was up until about 6am, so due to lack of sleep, we ended up sleeping late. After waking up, we exchanged gifts with my MIL-to-be. She got me Story of a Lifetime from RedEnvelope, and we got her Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout for Wii. My GIL-to-be gave me cash which I couldn’t wait to spend.

After exchanging gifts, we got ready and hurried over to my mother’s house to give her her gift, a BHG quilt set. She got me earrings. We spent time at my mother’s house and let Boogie run crawl wild. I wore my Happy Mom tee that PeaceLoveMom sent me. It was a good day, despite it’s late start. We have plans to take our mother’s out to eat this week as part of our Mother’s Day gifts.

To celebrate our engagement anniversary, Greg, Boogie and I had breakfast at Ihop and did some shopping for ourselves today. And for once we didn’t buy anything for Boogie – although it was hard!

Boogie and I had the honor of being featured in the Why Moms Matter eBook compiled by Momfaves.com and ExtraordinaryMommy.com. Be sure to download it, there are some incredible photos inside that represent motherhood. Any proceeds from the purchase of the hardcover version will be donated to The March of Dimes in honor of Maddie Alice Spohr.

I must go now, I’m still trying to figure out what I want to order online as my gift from Greg, but I’m still on a high from last Mother’s Day.
