Being a Mom is the hardest but most wonderful job ever!
My Mother's Day started Saturday. My cousin in law A and I had planned a spa day, a much much needed afternoon of rest and relaxation. She drove in from Wainwright and we had a nice visit then headed to Earls for lunch.
Lunch out without kids is such a treat! There's no sharing involved, no entertaining, no scarfing down your food because the kids are restless. I could bring my purse and not a diaper bag, I carried only the things I needed for me, no heavy wipes, no diapers, no wide variety of toys and teething rings.
It's the little things that you really notice!
We spent the afternoon at the Spa Zonar here in Sherwood Park.
I had a gift certificate for a manicure and pedicure, A had a pedicure and reflexology.
It was so nice and relaxing! And now we both have beautiful toes to attend the upcoming weddings we both have coming up.
Sunday, I decided I'd make Sunday night dinner for my mom and family to give her a break.
I made a crock pot Epicure pulled pork (so yummy!) and the Epicure pumpkin cheese cake (also so yummy!). I made the food, my sister brought salad, my mom made homemade buns for the pork sandwiches. Then we brought the food to my mom's which was nice because I didn't have to spend my whole Mother's Day cleaning.
All in all it was a great weekend. Lovely weather and great company.
I hope you all had a nice weekend too.
Kim
