It’s great having a blog. I wrote about Polaroid cameras a few weeks ago and the hubs actually bought me one for Mother’s Day!! (I opened it by accident.)I love it! So fun, except that I ran out of film in 5 minutes and half the pictures came out terrible. Its an art form I am going to have to learn to master.

Anyway… I got my mom a great gift and Im so excited to give it to her. I have to say, I never really knew what being a mom was really like (joy+ suffering and worrying) until I had my own daughter.

Now we have a 4 generation long bond of strong independent women(including Cookie, of course!) that I am so proud to call my family.

Grandma & Mom, Happy Mother’s Day!

My mom’s gift is something like one of the pieces I picked below… And guess what, if you dont get what you want for Mother’s day, (lets be honest here, who actually ever gets presents they want if they dont specifically ask for it?No one.)  you can go buy yourself something fun and pretty.

You deserve it!!!!!

I chose gold for summer. It looks great with a tan and summer whites. These pieces range from funky to classic and are a nice little pick me up for moms everywhere, including you.
