Mother’s Blog Hop

Welcome to the Mother’s {Day} Blog Hop!  Today, you’ll see inspiration of all sorts around a general theme:  Mothers.  All of us have been in some way affected by our Mothers.  And next Sunday is the day we celebrate Mom and how much she means to us. 

This here blog is the first stop on the hop!  We’ll each have inspiration for you, so let’s get started!!

When I first designed this concept for the hop, I had a page in mind I wanted to do about my mom, about how she has influenced my life (I love you Mom).  But my world was pretty much flipped last week and I’ve had very little free time.  I couldn’t find the picture I wanted, and didn’t have time to keep looking.  As it was, I didn’t even have time to do a paper page, I utilized my laptop and time in the car yesterday to create my page.   Lately, I’ve been so cherishing my role in life as Mom, and am so blessed to be able to stay at home with my kids.   It’s such a precious treat, one in which the time is too fleeting.  I count my blessings everyday that I am their Mom.  (And I’m very happy that my husband took this picture of us!  Good job!)

Pretty page! I love the colors and all the details.
Something I love about my Mom, at 89 years old had 2 surgeries only 6 months apart, both total knee replacements. It was tough, but she was really brave to go through that!

Beautiful page Amanda! I love my mothers fighting spirit. She's had a lot of sickness to deal with the last few years but she keeps fighting on.

Your LO is so pretty! And if it needs to be digital to be able to get some scrapping in, it's better than none...although to me it will never replace the real thing. Maybe I am just addicted to glue! :D

The best thing about being a mom is being a grandmother. :)

As for as the mom topic, what can I say, my mom is everything to me, my support. We used to have very thight relationship in the past, but when I becamo a mother myself I realized how much she loved me and how much she sacrified for us. Just hope one I can return her all what she has given me and gives me everyday to me and to my little one :D

I treasure motherhood so much more now that I am a mom. I now understand the emotions, the worries, the blessings and the wonderful times that all come with being a mom. And that means I appreciate my mother even more now than I did before. Being a mother is such a special gift and I'm so very grateful for it.

DanaMK said...

And I'm a follower. :D
