Mother's Day

Last year for Mother's Day, Jack was just a wish, hope and a prayer. 

Feeling so thankful and blessed to get to be his Mama.

Showing his OSU spirit.

 We went on a family trip to the Saturday Market!

This was actually May 3 for my birthday

(I look like I'm choking Jack here, but I promise I'm not. Just trying to keep his floppy self upright!)

Switched to Daddy's arms. He can block the wind better.

 Jack's 3 month picture. I tried to get him to tone down his enthusiasm.

Jack got a new floor gym! He LOVES to stare at the butterflies and is learning that when he flails his arms about he can make the hanging birds move and make noise. 

This brings him much joy.

This was boys night in the garage so mama could have some time.

Don't ask me what they were talking about...

...but Jack was listening attentively!

 For Mother's Day.

We had a low key day. I didn't want to fight crowds for brunch, I just wanted to enjoy our family.

So we stayed home and did just that, just spent time together. It was bliss.

I got the BEST presents too! 

ORGANIZATION!!!!!

(I am not kidding. I sincerely am excited beyond belief.) 

Two locations have been driving me CRAZY and Steve fixed both problems. 

Before:

Our overflow kitchen storage closet. Stuffed full and just not functional. In order to take item B out, item A had to come out first, then get put back and it's heavy and annoying and blah blah blah. 

So see all that dead space on the wall?

It had so much storage potential!

After:

Makes my heart go pitter patter.

I can get to EVERYTHING without moving anything. 

It's all in cute little containers. 

All my appliances are easy to see and reach. 

Oh and that blender in there, we aren't sure if that is birthday, mother's day or just because but that is new and I love it and it makes delicious non dairy smoothies that make me a happy camper.

Before:

This here little problem. 

Our kitchen is not big. We don't have lots of counter space.

For 3 months, a large amount of space is taken up by my pumping supplies that are waiting to be used as well as supplies that are cleaned and drying. 

I wanted them off the counter so I could use that space again.

After:

Custom bottle drying rack.

Perfect.

 Jack kickin' back waiting patiently for lunch.

 A wonderful first Mother's Day.
