Whether you mother babies, toddlers, teens, or adults. Whether you mother someone else's children or fur babies, Happy Mother's Day! I'm not big on being spoiled, but I will admit to a wonderful breakfast at IHOP with my 3 handsome boys this morning! Loved it. Love them. So much.
I'm thinking of my own Mom today as well. My Mom has been gone for almost 17 years. She died of complications of Alzheimer's Disease at the young age of 64. Watching her lose her memory was probably the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. Part of why I scrapbook is because of her, so we have my family's memories recorded. Memories that will out-live me.
I want by boys to share their childhood memories with their own family someday. I want their scrapbooks to spark conversations, bring back a long forgotten memory and for their children to be able to ask questions about what their life was like when they were young.
Holding on, to each other, to our memories-isn't that what it's all about anyway?

Here is a layout in honor of my Mom and my memories of us together.
A close-up:
"There is no way to be a perfect mother, but a million ways to be a good one."
Happy Sunday, friends!
Happy Mother's Day, Jan!
