I was treated very well this Mother’s Day weekend – hope you moms were as well!
We normally avoid dining out on Mother’s Day due to crowded restaurants with long waits. Instead, we enjoy going out to eat on Saturday night or “Mother’s Day Eve!” This year, after eating our supper, we all participated in one of my favorite activities – walking on the beach.
We are fortunate to live about forty minutes from the Atlantic Ocean, so the four of us were able to enjoy some time together at the beach. When we’re just there to enjoy a stroll, my rule for the girls is that they can only walk in the water up to their ankles. Somehow they still manage to get pretty wet! I think our six-year-old interprets that rule as water up to her ankles when the tide is all the way out, meaning that momentarily the water will be up to her knees!
One of the girls thought to bring a bucket, so we were all keeping an eye out for pretty seashells as we went down the beach.
I was also well taken care of on Sunday; we picked up pizza after church so I didn’t have to cook lunch and my husband and the girls took care of setting the table and cleaning up afterwards.
I am very thankful for the family that God has given me. Our girls are growing up so fast! I truly want to be the best wife and mom that I can be for them and pray that God will give me the wisdom and strength to do so.

What a fun day! Oh, how I want to go to the beach…
what a blessing to be so close to the ocean — I saw the Atlantic for the first time last summer, and enjoyed walks along the beach.
glad to hear you had a wonderful and blessed Mother’s Day!
