The brunch...then at J & M's for Bloddy Marys

Been busy enjoying and doing what must be done in life. This is from Mother's Day. We had a gorgeous brunch here with the mommies of the Callaghan family. I "hosted" but they brought food, cards and flowers for me. Marie, Tesla's granny, made French Toast with coconut milk to die for. I offered some flowers on the table and eggs. I need more training...

Although I'm not a big "holiday" person, I've always sorta liked Mother's Day. It's a great occasion to make my mom know how much I love her. I sent earrings this year and called. Wish she were here.

For the first time being a mom, I still rather liked this day (I usually don't like days where the attention is supposed to be on me). It's low key in the sense that the "tradition" seems to be brunch with mimosas. Pretty easy to pull off. And I think a big key - for me - about motherhood is simple appreciation. I love caring for Tesla no matter how tired I am. It's a privilege I don't forget. But having my loved ones pat me on the back is necessary. Gigantic kudos to dear Dav...he was sweet as ever and my gosh, I got a hefty gift card for Osmosis. Dav treated me to this before, and it's amazing. I'm gonna relish this gift for a while before deciding when to go.

Thank you, bunny. You ROCK!!
