Worldwide Wednesday Linky Party {Mom}

What does "Mom" mean to you?  

For me, it is the essence of life. 
I am best friends with my own mother and depend on her wisdom and support daily.  Having lost my father as a two-year-old, Mom became the center of my childhood universe.  


She is the woman I most admire and aspire to be like.  You are so beautiful Mom. I love you the world!



Becoming a mother myself is the most fulfilling part of my life.  It taught me to draw on strengths I never knew I had.  It has also opened up a depth of love that cannot be explained or compared.


If you had asked me as a little girl what I wanted to be when I grew up I would have said a teacher, wife and mommy.


Amazingly I can say I have accomplished my dreams!  ;)

Have a Blessed Mother's Day and be sure to celebrate all the moms in your life.

    What a wonderful post! It seems that mothers have been on a lot of minds lately... maybe because Mother's Day is coming up, but maybe it's just because they're the best. Thanks for the beautiful post, and also a reminder of what it means to follow your dreams!

    Hi Misty,

    I am so enjoying looking around your blog. Thank you for visiting and commenting on mine so that I could find you.

    I too am the mom of 3 beach-luvin boys (and a little princess too.)

    These photos of you and your mother...so beautiful! What love and joy on your faces.

Locally Grown {stuffed green peppers recipe}

  Last weekend we took the whole family to a nearby produce stand.  We were craving something that tasted fresh from the garden and since I don't have my own garden, we found this place.     The fields were full of fall-colored flowered.  Can't wait for those cooler days to come.         But for now, we are reveling in the height of summer sunshine and produce.       It's easy to go overboard here and buy much more than you can use in the next few days.  I don't even like okra but they look so inviting in those cute blue crates.     These tomatoes inspired a caprese salad for lunch: tomato slices cut into quarters, hunks of fresh mozzarella, snipped basil leaves, salt, pepper and drizzles of olive oil and red wine vinegar.       These strawberries wound up being dunked in Silky Chocolate Fondue .       Every girl dreams of doing her shopping with one of these adorable woven b...

Saturday Surfing {favorite spots from around the web}

Saturdays are the perfect time for a little aimless web-wandering and here are few of my recent reads I'd like to recommend to you. The Wild Surrender of Motherhood by Carrie Ann Moss @Annapurna Living This new website launched this week and is absolutely lovely. Remember Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix movies? Well she is now the founder and inspiration behind this blog.  Here is an excerpt of her vision for annapurnaliving.com : FROM CARRIE-ANNE ... “To see womanhood through eyes of grace.”  My desire is to live in a world where nourishment is valued. I believe a nourished family will lead to a nourished world. I believe life is beautiful and that our divine purpose in this world is to nurture the earth by respecting it and being grateful for what it provides us. My wish is to inspire others to create beautiful, honest and satisfying lives. My Other Ex: Women's True Stories of Leaving and Losing Friends   @A Design So Vast Unfortunately, over the pa...

Petals :: 52 Photos Project

Where I live the Bradford Pears have bloomed and blown and the Cherry Blossoms are in full blossom.  Even though that means our allergy season is now officially underway, I cannot help opening our windows every morning in hopes of hearing the birds singing to greet the day.  Springtime has conveniently coincided with my personal recovery process from knee surgery.  As I am slowly re-gaining mobility on crutches it seems an added encouragement that the weather is also improving and the trees are welcoming my return with their flowers. What a treat it would be to be able to put down my crutches in time for Easter Sunday and walk again on my own! (I am doubtful but one can hope.) Sharing with 52 Photos Project :: Petals
