My kids made me these for Mothers Day…

According to C, I am beautiful and really good at dancing. We especially enjoy dancing together and baking brownies. I like how it even looks like I am dancing in the picture. This is awesome!

Big E is beginning to refine his people drawing skills. That’s me… with a sheep on my head. Because, why not. Also, I am terrific and really good at cleaning up toys. I was a little concerned that I might not be entirely trustworthy, but don’t worry that one is marked off too!

Tonight was our last MOPS event for the year, our year end banquet. I had a such a wonderful time this year getting to know the women at my table, listening to some amazing speakers, working on some adorable crafts, and eating lots of tasty food. My time at MOPS is so much more than any one of those things. It is a community of women that come together to support each other in this messy, hectic, chaotic, amazing chapter in our lives. It’s the idea that we don’t need to compare ourselves to other moms, but rather cheerlead every mom because we all know it is hard, we know we mess up, and luckily we get it right sometimes, too! So thank you too the moms that participated this year. You were an encouragement to me and I am already looking forward to next year!
