Happy Mother’s Day 2025!

Mother’s Day weekend always brings me so much joy… a little slower pace, a little more gratitude from the kids about all mommy does and a little closer to summer break with the boys who made me a mama! This weekend did not disappoint! Maddox made me a homemade craft using a glue gun, an Airhead wrapper (yes it’s empty), shells, paint and feathers… enjoy the creation he made when he was unsupervised one afternoon after school! Haha 

Zander made me smile by going into our stationary stash to made me a Mother’s Day card when he realized I didn’t buy one for myself while we were signing the cards for all the grandmas in their lives. He asked, “do you have one more?” (Haha) 

I enjoyed a caffeinated beverage while solo grocery shopping this weekend! 

The boys worked in the yard, mowing and updating the vegetable boxes! I took a nap!;)

We went to the Carolina Core game on Saturday night… the boys got to help on the field as ball boys and participate in the high five tunnel before the game! Afterwards, they got signatures from players and took some shots on the goal! It was Star Wars night so each kid came home with a light saber!

I love how our church celebrates moms…. A special song from our children’s ministry, a photo op, a small gift and a Mother’s Day themed sermon. We were blessed to have both our moms in attendance and enjoyed lunch afterwards at The Loop!

The boys have been asking to see the new Minecraft movie so mommy opted for no nap on Sunday afternoon and took the boys to the movies while daddy meal-prepped for us to set us up for success for the week ahead!

We worked on a 1000 piece puzzle over the weekend and finished it on Monday evening due to cancelled baseball games and rainy weather!

A shoutout to my azaleas which weren’t in bloom for Mother’s Day but were enjoyed the week leading up to the holiday!

And while Maddox has no reason to need a relaxing bath (other than a skinned up knee that could use a good soak), may we all be as relaxed as he is during the school week!

Zander finished out his soccer season with a ranking of 3rd in his division! Mia came to cheer him on in his final game of the season and the team had an end of the year celebration at Dairio afterwards! Tryouts are next week to see about a placement for next year’s team!
