Mother’s Day…The day after

For the first time since I became a Mom I can honestly say I have had a “Real” Mother’s Day….. 

I mean sure I got the little cute things that the girls made at pre-school, or kindergarten or school….

An extra hug here or there…..

But not a real official celebration of me

SHOCKING right!

I think the girls were always in some activity and the importance of celebrating was secondary…..

I am thankful that I do get my “me time” once in a while but today I would like to share My Mother’s day Wins of 2017

 

 

So here goes….

MY Mother’s Day List

♥ I got to sleep in until 9am (hubby took care of the girls)

♥ I got to take a nice long un-interuptted shower.

♥ My morning Tea was delivered to my room

♥ I got the most creative home-made card from Jennah featuring photos of hubby, Jennah & Zeenah with a Mom-trivia identifying me as “A Cooking Mom” 

♥ Zeenah made a little pot for my jewlery with the cutest flowers and a thoughtful card highlighting how much she loves our morning hugs and cooking together

♥  I got to wear a DRESS & HEELS

♥   We went to Moxies for brunch

♥ Got the cutest flowers  in my favorite color….. PURPLE

♥ Got to go to Michaels for fun and just browse

♥ Baked Brownies with the girls

♥ Watched Bedtime Stories cuddled up as a family (If you haven’t watched the movie its adorable! LOVED IT!!!!)

♥ Made Roasted Potatoes with Sole for dinner

♥ Endulged in our homemade Brownies

As much as I resisted all temptations to do housework I just couldn’t, therefore…..

♥ Washed and Dried TWO loads of laundry

It’s been a great day!!!

How did you spend mother’s day????

On this Mother’s day my family focused on me by Making life Memorable as a Mother

Music from the Past – The List

Music from the Past – The List

My daughter is only 10 but I see glimpses of what she’ll be like as a teenager….on the most part it seems manageable so it should be interesting to see what I have to say a few years from now!!!

The one thing that I do enjoy about her “grown-upness” is our conversations and her new love to my music….. Its moments when she says “Mama in your olden days” or “in your time”….seriously!!!! Me OLD???? I didn’t get THAT memo…UGH…make that double UGH!!!

Back to my happy place of I’m young, thin and tall!!! We started listening to some of my favorite songs….they reminded me of when I was carefree and had no responsibilities……

I decided to make a list of some of the songs in no particular order genre and the people each one reminds me of!! I’ve attached the youtube links for each song just for your entertainment

1. The Sign by Ace of Base.…….. Reminds me of Lesley
2. Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? by Bryan Adams……… Reminds me of Salma
3. Hold on by Wilson Phillips.…… Reminds me of Mona
4. That’s what friends are for by Dionne Warwick ….Remind me of Wessan
5. Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle……Reminds me of Terri
6. The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five ……Reminds me of
7. Kiss by Prince…..  Reminds me of Maha
8. 500 miles by the Proclaimers….. Reminds me of Hiba
9.  God Blessed Texas by  Little Texas  Reminds me of Richard

My Ultimate and tearjerkers
10. Que sera sera by Doris Day. and Those Were The Days by Mary Hopkin…..My amazing Al-Hajjaj family!

I love Making life Memorable one song at a time!
