Fun Time at Industrial Scientific #MothersDay

On April 26, we took the kids to Industrial Scientific for "Take Your Children to Work Day" sponsored by the company to commemorate the Workers Memorial Day.  The kids had fun and we got to meet some of  my husband's  co-workers and boss.  It was nice to finally  meet this lovely woman, we've been friends online for quite a while so it was a nice treat!

Since it is Mother's Day, I would like to thank God for blessing me  two wonderful children and for giving me the most loving Mom in the whole world.

I miss my Mama a lot, it's been years since we last saw each other and it's been tough not being able to see her or even talk to her as  often as I would love to.    My Mom does not  want to use  cellphone or any kind of gadget  so it is so hard for us to communicate.  My Mama is the most hardworking  woman I know.  She and my  father raised 9 children by themselves and I can't thank them enough for  everything that they did  for us.  Mama could have simply walked away because it was tough but she didn't, she was  dedicated to raising us through all the hardships in life.  I admire and respect my Mother, she is  the most understanding, kind, and loving person I know.   

Happy Mother's Day to the woman that inspired me the most, thank you for everything Ma. I know I don't say it often but I love you very much! #MothersDay #Mom #myMom #BestMom

Being a Mom is such a blessing.  It is a gift that not every women  have the privilege to experience.  I know some women who would love to be a Mom and would make a wonderful Mom but  it doesn't happen.  I feel so fortunate to have been blessed with this gift!  My children   are the most wonderful presents  I have ever received.  It's  tough to be a Mom sometimes but everything is  so worth it.  Nothing compares the happiness of  being a mother.  

I am grateful that God gave me  the opportunity  to become one and for  giving me a loving husband.  I have so much to thank for.  Sometimes I feel  like I don't deserve  everything but I am truly thankful!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!

Mother's Day 2015

Celebrating Mother's Day ever since I became  a Mom is so special.  It's the precious blessing that I have that  no money can buy.  Being a Mom is such a huge responsibility but it comes with great rewards as well.   Anyway, we pre-celebrated Mother's Day in the  State Park but before we left that morning, my daughter made me breakfast in bed (I will make a separate post about that on my food blog), how sweet  After breakfast, we went to Tomlinson Run and had so much fun out there.  We went for a long walk

 

 My daughter is allergic to mosquito bites so I let her use my  arm protection sleeves.

 I love it that my kids  love to explore nature.  Not many kids  does these kind of activities anymore.  I think with the  presence of technology, most children nowadays are  contained  in the room playing games.

 We were surprised to see some shell casing along the  road of the park.  We thought that was odd that  someone   fired shots out there.  It might be from a sheriff or a police who wants to scare  away some coyote or something (I hope that was the reason).

 My kids look forward to  go to this  lake during warm weather.  Just seeing cray fish and other bugs and critters makes them so excited.  

 Ms. Burrito  does not have a perfect balance so her brother gave him his walking stick.

 Her goal is to  cross the other end and stand on the big rock.  It took a while but she did it.  She fell and had a  wet butt but she's happy lol.

 Mission accomplished, that's a smile of success right there!

 Mr. Burrito was busy picking  empty shells  in the middle of the lake then I asked him to turn around and  give me a smile so I can take a photo of him.

 He smiled, and feel on his butt too.  So of course he blame me for it lol.  I didn't mind being blamed as I got a sweet smile out of it.

 I love seeing my kids having fun if what nature has to offer.  This is the kind of fun that  no gadget can give.

 I always forgot to bring  extra clothes for these Burritos  but good thing, we always have  towels in our car.  

 We stayed quite a good bit at the lake, we let them have fun splashing in the water before heading back home.

 After our nature adventure, we  visited Dad at his house.

 My kids and husband bought me  a gift.  I wish they  look for some coupons before buying it, they could have saved some moolah hehehe.  On the actual Mother's Day, my husband  cooked some breakfast for us and hen we attended the noon mass.  My daughter served in the altar, I was pleased to see that.  It was her second time  being an altar server. 

   We didn't go somewhere  in that day but we are planning to do something special with the kiddos on Father's Day.  A day at Sky Zone would be great since  my kids love jumping on a trampoline.  That's why I am glad to find this Sky Zone coupons at Ann Coupons website.  This would help save some from our budget.  My niece-in-law told me about the new place  near our area so we might check that out.  

How about you, how was your Mother's Day celebration this year?

M-O-T-H-E-R

First of all, happy Mother's day to all the Moms in the World!  My children gave me their  personalized gifts when they came home yesterday and they insisted for me to open them up.  They did these art projects at their  art subject in school and bring them home every year..  O love what they made me last year and so   is this year!

This is what my son prepared.

The bottle was covered with  beads which is really pretty!

 Below is what my daughter  prepared for me.  The kids made an ordinary  lunch paper extra  special by expressing their feelings with their drawings.

 A duct tape wallet with personalized coupons inside.

 They made my  day so special, thank you Burritos!

 I would like to thank the  Art teacher, Mrs. Nancy Wright for always doing these   special projects with the kids!

These are special things that  a charleston sc wedding dj would not be  able to top with their performances.  They  make weddings extra special but  children's love for their Moms are  top of the world, the best!

  To all the Mother's out there, may you have a wonderful celebration!  May you enjoy each  second you spend with your kids!

Motherhood is....

I did not know that my husband was taking pictures of me and the kids while we were playing with the dogs in the backyard. He was inside the house doing his homework and saw us by the window.

Motherhood is...

 finding time to sit and relax with your children;

Being able to bear the pain that goes along the way;

Being able to comprehend  what is best for them;

and being able to execute the TLC or 

tender, love, and care.

Motherhood is...

A gift from God that all Moms should enjoy and give value to;

A challenging  journey  that is full of twists and turns;

Revitalizing and  recreational,  that is the 

Motherhood for me..

Let me share this poem I found at scrapbook.com.

A Mother's Love

Submitted by: life heARTist

A Mother's Love is like an island
In life's ocean vast and wide,
A peaceful, quiet shelter
From the restless, rising tide ...

A Mother's Love is like a fortress
And we seek protection there
When the waves of tribulation
Seem to drown us in despair ...

A Mother's Love's a sanctuary
Where our souls can find sweet rest
From the struggle and the tension
Of life's fast and futile quest ...

A Mother's Love is like a tower
Rising far above the crowd,
And her smile is like the sunshine
Breaking through a threatening cloud ...

A Mother's Love is like a beacon
Burning bright with Faith and Prayer,
And through the changing scenes of life
We can find a Haven There ...

For A Mother's Love is fashioned
After God's enduring love,
It is endless and unfailing
Like the love of Him above ...

For God knew in His great wisdom
That He couldn't be Everywhere,
So He put His Little Children
In a Loving Mother's Care.

Happy Mother's day Mommies!
