Mamas I Love...

Here I am with Mark's mama, the sweetest mother in law on the face of the planet. She always knows how to make me laugh and is an expert in southern cooking and flower planting. I love her very much. : )

Here is my sis... She is a great mother to my sweet nephew, Ryan. She is my go to girl for all things fashion and family oriented. I admire her many, many talents. I'm lucky to have her in my life..

Here is my grandmother. I idolize her for her kindness and charm. She also happens to be the blue ribbon winner of lace cookies, hugs and iced tea. She has a wild flower garden that she has kept up for over 50 years that would break your heart. I love her so, so much.

And then there is MY mama. She has compassion and grace. She knows the proper way to say things and her love of God is truly inspiring. I admire her strength and charisma. She makes a MEAN Beef Stew and is in love with her grandson...I love her...

Happy Mother's Day to all of my favorite mamas... and to all of you mamas who are reading this....Enjoy your day!

The Saturday before Mothers Day, We took my mom and grandmother out for Chinese. My grandmother picked the restaurant, and she always picks the same little place in Oak Ridge. : )  I managed to get a picture of my mom, but grandmother managed to allude the camera.

My beautiful mother and myself.

On Sunday, we cooked for Mark's mom. I made quesadillas with chicken and guacamole, cheese dip, salsa and Margaritas. We took our spread out onto the back porch. Even though it was a bit chilly, I think Darlene had a good time:

Later on that night, Holly came by and I had made a red velvet cake for her to dive into. It was a huge success and I manage to pump Ryan full of sugar right before bedtime and sent them on their way...Unfortunately, my camera died before I was able to snap a pic so, you get Holly later this month. : )

Happy Mothers Day to all of my favorite mothers.... I love you all....
