As I was writing this post, I realized today it's my 8 year wedding anniversary. Don't worry, I'm not now just remembering this, we do have plans...like a really great movie and big bowls of ice cream. After a day with 3 littles, this is kind of our dream date these days. 

Anyway, this week we have some fun giveways and posts for you in honor of mothers day this week. 

I also must credit my sisters (and sisters in laws) as being some of my greatest examples of being a mother and a good person. Being one of the younger sisters, I'm so lucky to learn from their example. Even Sierra (not yet married) is such a great example to me of love and selflessness. Seriously, I love my family.  

When we realized I was pregnant with our first, we could hardly believe it. Now 4 years later, we have been blessed to have 3 littles. Being a mother is definitely a 24 hour gig, but it's the kind of job that I don't ever wish to quit. One of my favorite songs is a children's song that we sing in our church called "The Family Is of God" and the chorus sums up what I feel about my family:

Whether it's your mom, sister, brother, husband, or children, we really do need families to become better people. Because I love these words so much, I made a printable for you. 

Mothers day isn't just for those who have children, I strongly believe it's a time to celebrate all woman. Some can't have children of their own but they can still be a mother in someway. So let's start this week with this fun $300 target shopping spree.
