How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

It Brought Me To Tears

in Family, Travel on 05/22/13

Less then two weeks ago I was honoured to have been a part of the amazing Disney Social Media Moms Event in Orlando Florida.  Sadly due to some huge conflicts my girls couldn’t attend.  This did NOT have me feeling like Mother of the year. I mean, I had just spent a full five days enjoying the magic of Disney…without them.  I returned late the evening of Mother’s Day, kissed their sleepy heads, received the biggest of hugs and was once again amazed at how lucky I was to have two sweet and loving girls.  I thought that was it for Mother’s Day, and I was just fine with this.  Until this past Sunday, when I received an incredible gift, a do over!  Mother’s Day a week late.  A fabulous brunch, time playing in the backyard, some sweet gifts and then this, the video that brought me to tears.  One of my favourite songs and the girls telling me no matter what, they will be there for me.

The Sweetest Gift….

 

I am one lucky Mama. 

I hope you will join me in my not so Wordless Wednesday!  Please leave me a comment and/or link up below!

      Love this – you are a lucky momma but the girls are pretty lucky too! What a cool idea! 🙂
      Alex surprised me by cleaning up the entire basement and the extra bedroom -they have been her dumping ground for stuff[everything] – so amazing to see everything cleaned up, put away and thrown out!Now to see how long it stays! Best gift I could have asked for! 🙂

      You are a lucky Mamma.

      I spent Mother’s Day with my kids, LB’s kids were with us too. We had a great weekend, but when they made a big deal out of Mother’s Day at breakfast, I could tell his kids were missing her. Alas, she was OOT as well, and wasn’t landing until much later in the day… then she asked him to keep them for an extra hour so she could go to the gym. He said no. Poor things.. they just wanted their mom!
