Hooray For Mother's Day

What a wonderful day I had! This is one of the few days off from the kitchen I get and I love it...but have to work hard to stay out so I don't wreck the fun that is going on. For breakfast, dad and the kids made me banana pancakes with nutmeg spiced maple syrup, and for dinner we had a spinach souffle. Fancy huh! I love how hard they try to make it a special day. I couldn't help but think how blessed I am to be a mother to these beautiful children. This is fulfilling my lifelong dream of what I always wanted to become. I am so grateful for their quickness to forgive and forget, because I am so far from being the kind of mom I would like to be. How wonderful it is to have a testimony of Christs atonement that allows me to know that He will help make up for my imperfections, as long as I keep trying. I also was thinking of my mother on this special day as it was also her birthday. I blessed I have been to be taught be her wonderful example!
