Sending love to all the wonderful mamas out there, including my own wonderful mother and mother-in-law. ♥ I still have a lot to learn as I’ve only been a mom for just over two years, but I have such amazing women to look to as examples. Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom came by just then, so we got a picture of us together, 3 generations! Happy Mother’s Day mama!

 

Afterwards, Dan and Mio surprised me with an adorable card and gift — Cupcake Diaries, which features many of the delicious recipes from Georgetown Cupcakes of DC Cupcakes fame. I can’t wait to try making them!

 

With that, I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes about motherhood…

"Mothers hold their children's hands for a short while, but their hearts forever."
