A few years ago, I would have turned my nose up at a celebratory weekend of hiking, sprinklers, and “early” morning church services. Back then, my idea of a good Mothers Day would have been brunch at a trendy restaurant, followed by a shopping trip for yours truly. Clearly, my interests have changed. These days, I am most happy watching my kids have fun. I thrive not on the latest trends, but rather on spending a weekend outdoors or by congregating at church on Sunday mornings. I am very much a work in progress (especially since I fear this post will give G just the “excuse” he needs to refrain from future surprise shopping gifts), but for now, I am perfectly content to be a mama, a personal assistant and caregiver to two wonderful kids, a grocery shopper, nose wiper, errand runner, and wife to a man that makes my simple life so perfect!
G’s idea of a Mother’s Day walk– a 5 and 1/2 mile Saturday morning hike on Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park. Shortly after this picture was taken, I almost booted one of the kids for their spot in the stroller.
After our hike, we dug out the best $10 investment we’ve made in a long time.
Popsicles were the perfect end to our Saturday
Mothers Day morning was spent attending church and having lunch on the Square. A long nap for a worn out mama (which is a true rarity in this household) followed.
