Her words always resonate with me and her blog posts are inspiring. I love reading them because they always make me think. My favorite item of the whole post was " Documented the little things.  Not the crazy big moments, but the little things like them playing in the sandbox or running in the backyard. What they looked like sleeping or how that toddler hair had the colic in the back. And written down the funny things they say." \\ I love this easy & simple frame idea! I am excited to try to m...

I have been blessed to celebrate Mother's Day as a mom for the last 6 years. This year was probably one of the best! My kids were well behaved, my husband was very sweet, and we had a wonderful day together. One of the best parts of my Mother's Day this year, was how sweet my children were. They hugged me over and over again throughout the day telling me Happy Mothers Day & that they loved me. Does it get much better than that?  Our day started with brunch at The Copper Hen Kitchen in Minneapolis. I had heard many great things about the Copper Hen & had it on my breakfast bucket list! I loved the decor & feel of the cozy restaurant and definitely want to go back for lunch someday!  My daughter & I had semi-matching outfits for the occasion & of course I needed a photo! My breakfast was SUPERB! Farmer's Brunch - cheesy scrambled eggs, root vegetable has, bread pudding french toast & fennel sausage. The french toast was absolutely incredible!  My hu...
