Blessings From My Mom

Mother's Day is around the corner. It is Sunday, May 11th. I love this day. Not because I am also a mother and I get celebrated on this day, but because I get to celebrate my mom. She is wonderful. She has always been committed to her family like no other. She ran a tight household full of discipline and love. I knew I was blessed growing up having her, but recently I was reminded again how great she is.
My mom flew down to WA to stay with Ezra while Ross and I went to L.A. She was so excited to do it. I was thankful for her enthusiasm since a week with Ezra and not knowing her way around this area could be stressful. Ezra had the time of his life alone with his grandma. They spend hours at Chucky Cheese, planted flowers together, went for walks, played with Ezra's new sandbox, etc. etc.
So the above was a blessing....but what I am about to write goes far and beyond.....
I came home from L.A. with a completely organized house! Now, please don't take that last sentence lightly.....My huge pantry was organized (I wish I had a before picture...it was awful because my mom got her hands on it.) The pantry now has baskets for pasta, basket for bread, basket for baking supplies....you get the point! All of our laundry was done and folded, my kitchen was shiny, floors cleaned, my van was vacuumed and washed! She even put a car organizer in it! She bought and planted flowers around our house! My laundry room has an organization station it it! WOW! I am telling you...my mom is the best house/kid sitter EVER!

I love you Mom! Thank-you so much for helping me organize my home. I have a lot to learn from you! You bless Ross and I so much. We can't thank-you enough!

p.s. I will post pictures of all that she did....especially the flowers....the thing is that it is snowing HARD right now, so you can't see the flowers. I hope they survive this late April snow!
