Hey guys!  It's been awhile!

This month has been a month full of celebration!

Yes spring is finally here!  YAY!  and with it came Mother's Day, my youngest munchkin's 7th birthday and my own birthday celebration!

I love this month!  

Despite few days of rain, leaves on the trees, flowers and grass has started to come out and warmth has finally kicked in after many winter months of brutal weather.

And honestly, I don't mind the rain so much as others may do.

I find we need it to melt away the remains of what winter left us, and rinse away all the remaining icky dirt.

Interesting how much dirt and actual garbage comes out of melted snow and ice...

So yeah, rain is a nature's way of showering itself out of hibernation.

So for this year's Mother's Day, I have organized a very intimate picnic with both of our mothers.

I had prepared all the delicious knick-knacks to bring along with a nice chilled Rose wine and were planning on heading out to Oka park where we can enjoy the warm sunny weather by the water.

My lil' one gave me the greatest gift any mother can have on the day of the picnic...an early dawn wakeup call with a bucket of vomit.  Hmm lovely!
No biggie!

So we decided to do the picnic at home on our patio where we still enjoyed our time together as a family.

Any mother would take a child's well being over anything and simply make everything work out well...if not better! :)

Both of our mothers, including myself, were showered with love on this fine Mother's Day :)

Soon after that came another prep for another celebration...my munchkin's 7th birthday party!

Running around for decorations, loot bag goodies, snacks, treats, candies, cupcake ingredients, and let's not forget, GIFTS!  Making sure to send out invitation cards and forgetting to put the home address (oops), receive RSVP calls, wrapping gifts when kids are sleeping, decorating the house when kids are sleeping...

I must have gone through my "to-do" lists a hundred times over!

All this while seeing clients, doing weddings, preparing invoices, sending out quotes, cleaning my kit, testing makeup, the whole shabang.

In midst of all this, my oldest and my hubby asks me,

"So what do YOU want to do for your birthday?"

What? huh? My birthday?  Oh yeah, my birthday! Uh..Um...don't have time to think about that yet!

My priorities were to have a great Mother's Day and a great birthday bash for my lil one so my mind was not there yet, not one moment of my time alone!

And really, that was okey with me!

Once my birthday comes along, I feel rewarded.

I feel that once I have shown gratitude, love and appreciation on Mother's Day to my mother and my mother-in-law for their hard work, time and all the knowledge that they've thought us...

...and once I have demonstrated all that I've learned to my lil one's celebration of her birth, milestones and growing up on her birthday...

...that once my birthday comes along, I feel great, rewarded, and so satisfied that I feel like that is the best gift for myself as a person growing up.

Once my birthday comes along, I can welcome the event with open arms, feel truly relaxed, content and grateful.

It's weird to say.

It has definitely been a learning curve this past few months of "May" throughout the years.

Definitely looking forward to many more months of "May" in my future.

May 21st "521"

Let's see what my birthday says!

As you approach new opportunities and relationships, it's vital that you stay optimistic and use only positive words in your thoughts, speech, and writing

---"Angel Numbers 101" by Doreen Virtue

Wow!

That's quite interesting!  All these years, since I was little, my favorite motto I stood by has been the famous line from a lil rabbit known as Thumper from Bambi.

He said,

"If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all".

I do believe in not wasting precious energy, breath and time in saying things that hurt another being as well as yourself.  

I shall continue to so as my Angel book guides me so.

Oh look!

I opened up Chrome and found that Google has got me some cupcakes on my birthday!

Yay:)
