Mothers Day

Happy Mothers day to all those mothers out there that have taught me so much and make me want to be a better mother myself

Adam is always so thoughtful and caring on Mothers day, but this year he did something that I loved.....okay, so it was only after a little prompting from me - but still at least he did it! He asked the boys the following questions (which I took from my dear friend Emily's blog) and recorded their answers. Some of their answers were actually quite eye-opening....
