Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there…..today is bittersweet for me. I am unable to see my own mom, which is so upsetting. Normally we would have met in Palmetto Bluff or I would have gone to see her in Virginia.<\/p>\n

My mom has dementia and as some of you might know, its an incredibly fluid situation. It often feels like one step forward two steps back. This past week was a tough one for her but I always try to find a silver lining. I realized that I need to make every single day count. I call her every day and try to engage with her by talking about my sons or what I am up to with my business, maybe a favorite movie, whatever it is.<\/p>\n

So though distance will keep us apart this year, she is here by my side in spirit and I cannot wait until things slowly get back to a new normal and I go pay her a visit. I feel so lucky to have my mom, she is as many always say a true “angel. So giving, kindhearted, always put family first.<\/p>\n

She made me who I am and who I continue to strive to be. She will always be my hero and my role model. Always. <\/em>I know I am very lucky to have her, OK stopping now before I start crying. I seem to cry over so many things lately…………anyone else? OK, moving along to the Sunday post…

1. TWO SET TABLES\u00a0 <\/strong>Since every day is a “stay at home day” I have taken to trying to set a pretty table at least a few days a week. Why not? It’s a great time to use and enjoy all my favorite things, that normally stay hidden in closets and storage cabinets.<\/p>\n

So when Cinco de Mayo came around,\u00a0 last minute I decided to set a festive table. Made a delicious guacamole, frozen margaritas (forgot how good they are), tacos, fajitas and Mexican rice..it was delish. <\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

That frozen margarita machine had been put away but I have to say this could become a nightly gig:) Anyway here are some pictures from the other night, on Cinco de Mayo and another night when I set a small intimate table for two:)<\/p>\n

All melamine from my shop<\/em><\/p>\n

Etched margarita glasses Williams Sonoma (years ago)<\/em><\/p>\n

2 A FABULOUS AND VERY UNIQUE GIFT IDEA\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>I absolutely LOVE this idea and a few people in my life are getting this unique and very special gift. So, Storyworth will send your gift recipient a question a week which will require them to answer with some kind of a story or thought provoking answer.<\/p>\n

Over a year these responses will be collected and at the end of a year, in this case next Mother’s Day, a beautiful hardbound book will be created and sent to share with the family. I was so excited over finding out about this unique idea. What a treasure for every family to have the permanence of the written word highlighting all of life’s memories and stories.
