I got to spend Mothers Day in one of my favorite places, with three of my favorite people- lucky me! Even though it was cloudy, we decided to hit the beach. We're true Nor-Cal people- we're used to enjoying the beach in our sweats rather than our bathing suits. We had a delicious lunch from our favorite deli, with a gorgeous view of the waves crashing onto the beach. Lizzy could have combed the beach for hours. She found all kinds of shells, driftwood, and sea glass. Peter enjoyed playing in the sand and looking for shells too. Afterwards, we went for a walk along the coast, and found a fun forest full of spooky trees to climb and explore. The blessings of motherhood are not lost on me at all. I often feel like in many ways I was awoken when my children were born. My heart opened up, joy poured in, and it has been a blissful journey watching my children grow from babies, to toddlers, to little kids. I'm amazed by them everyday, and thankful, thankful, thankful I get to share my journey with them. While it is certainly wonderful to be "spoiled" and appreciated on Mothers Day, I also think it's so important to reflect on the gifts that you are given when you become a mother. Don't take it lightly! The time with those little ones goes amazingly fast. Hold on and enjoy the ride!
