Mother’s Day

Life in an Instant: the littlest bits

by Stacy on May 13, 2012

Whew,

this was a week I almost didn’t want to write about — a week I was in such a hurry to put behind me, I wasn’t sure I wanted to remember at all …

but then, there was something more.

Those tiny, little almost seemingly insignificant moments. The ones that end up candy coating your day, filling up your heart and giving you that extra little boost you need to keep on going.

For every obstacle I faced this week, there are at least 10 of those tiny little wonder full moments to take its place … and when I think about it in those terms, all I can think is: “well then life, Bring It ON!” The good and the bad, the ups and the downs, the round and the rounds; I don’t want to miss a beat cause when it comes right down to it — it’s not the speed bumps we’re supposed to be focusing on.

It’s those tiny little bits.

And for those, I’ll keep on keeping on.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you inspiring Momma’s out there!

Even when things seem overwhelming, I hope you can focus on those tiny moments that make life wonderful. I hope you can even capture a few of them on film, and take a quick moment to share them with us here. I so love to see what each of you are up to!

What a Mom Wants

by Stacy on April 29, 2010

This is it. The year, I have finally decided to accept all the bounty that is known as Mother’s Day. In past years, I’ve felt a bit unworthy, a bit too young, a bit as if it was still a day to celebrate my own Mother and not my new role as a Mom. I guess some might find it a bit strange that I had to have three children before I felt worthy of having my own special day, but for those of you who know me and how uncomfortable I feel about gifts in general you’ll know its just another one of my many quirks.

In honor of this special occasion (me accepting the fact I am a Mom), I put together this list of things I’m currently coveting … we’ll call it What this Mom wants. And No, I haven’t gone overboard – It’s just that I still like the element of surprise and not knowing what I’m going to get so I like to give plenty of options and let my husband do the choosing. :) ) Hopefully you’ll find something you might like to covet too.

Happy Almost Mother’s Day!!

{Rhinestone Flower & Bicycle Earrings- Urban Outfitters}


{Recolte Bleue – L’Occitane}
{Midnight Pomegranate – Bath & Body Works}

{Prima Classics – TOMS Shoes}

Why these shoes? Well, besides the fact that they are way retro cool and just my style there are few companies I love as much as TOMS. Not familiar with TOMS shoes? They’re the company that donates one pair of shoes for every pair purchased to people in need all across the globe. Read all about their One for One mission, then do yourself (and someone else) a favor and save $5 with their awesome Mother’s Day offer:
