mother’s day

“There’s a time when you have to explain to your children why they’re born and it’s a marvelous thing if you know the reason”  --Hazel Scot

i know the reasons but don’t want to forget so I'm taking notes (for the rest of my life) …

There is something so sweet about the day you meet your child... and the days that follow.  Ask anyone that knows me: when i talk about the day each of my children were born my eyes well up, and i want to do it all over again. I feel so blessed and happy to have these little people in my life and I don’t want to forget a moment of it.  So, here is my elephant list (because an elephant never forgets)

sweet baby breath
