Being a Mother ( and Daughter ) today


It felt great to shut down emails and  all the work and just BE with my family .

My mama bear especially as it is really HER day. She is the best... As in seriously the best . I Am So so Lucky to have always had her in my life  She is one of a kind and irreplaceable and I love our relationship. If I don't speak or text her or hear from her even one single day ... Something is not Complete .

She is It that mama bear:)

The love of my Life. Could she look any younger????


For Mother's Day I slept
In ( heavenly ) and woke up to a big basket of cards and gifts . All little things and some jokes but Loved each one . Beauty got me a necklace and earring set ! And the boys a card with tons of pics from childhood and cupcake certificate ! And hubby a bunch of stuff . I was super spoiled .

Uncle Bruce came into our bedroom too for our little tradition and that was fun too
 Auntie Terri was last minute able to join for brunch too so we went our gang .. My mom and the chez Vito's to chez Cora on the terrace and had delicious meals




Then said bye to the chez Vitos and went in to the second part of the day . Went go the cemetery to visit our grandpapa  Max and grandmaman Lola. Tried very hard to find Grampy2 grave and got lost! Was a nice moment in cometary with the kids ... Very bonding and full Of rich history and legacy

Then went on to my very famous aunt's art show . She really is very well known ! Her paintings are very unique that is for sure ( aka my late dad naked kind of very unique ) Saw another non naked Portrait  of my dad too and really affected me . He looked masculine and strong  and healthy in that one . An image I don't even have in my mind at all.
It was healing to see him portrayed in that stronger darker more masculine way .

After museum came back and napped while Hubby prepped a nice but delicious simple meal of tortellini rosee , arugula salad and garlic bread . Delicious

Took more time to tuck in each kid and chat with them . Good to be home with my little family . Even avoided a big fight with Chase and just walked out of the room! Impressive eh ?

Happy Mother's Day to my own Mama Bear and to
Me too. We both made it and are still alive ! That is good !Like Mother Like Daughter..we are survivors.
