Hubby gave me two pretty new hanging baskets with flowers for Mother’s Day.
I was so excited, I’ve always wanted a couple for our front porch, and I especially love that the baskets have fluer-di-lis’s on them – one of the symbols for our Blessed Mother!

I’m so very happy and blessed to be the mother to our seven children!
They were all given S’more Goodie Bags at a birthday party we attended, which made for the perfect end to a supper fun weekend.
At the birthday party, the kids all had a blast on the homemade water slide!
Watching Snuggles slide down was hilarious!

Yes, according to our kiddos, that water slide was “REALLY” fun!

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.


















































What fun! Happy weekend! +JMJ+
Oh wow! That makes me wish our backyard wasnt so flat!
That slide looks like a lot of fun!
Happy Mother's Day! And what a coincidence, I too received hanging baskets as gifts, and we also had a s'mores evening around our fire bowl. No water slide though…maybe next year (looks like a blast!). :o)
this makes me want to be a kid again. so fun.
What exactly does a s'more goodie bag consist of? That sounds like a neat idea.
now i want to dig a trench in our backyard and make a waterslide! it slopes perfectly, but we probably have too many rocks. 🙁 looks like they had a blast!
A Hershey Bar, a couple graham crackers, and a few marshmallows. All the goodies to make your own s'mores! My kids loved them.
