My mother is an amazing woman! She came to help out for the week. And she was just that, a HUGE HELP. I love my Mom! She does so much for me. All week long she did activities with Lily and Nash and kept them busy while I pumped, fed Hadley, found a quiet moment, and slept. They colored, painted, played with water balloons, found bugs, picked peas from the garden, took a day trip to visit her cousins Tylah and Aleigha, found treasures at the dollar store, and even took a trip to Playland at McDonald's. Not only that but she managed to cook meals, wash and fold piles of laundry, dust, vacuum, mop the floor, wash windows, clean bathrooms, and who knows what else I'll discover has magically been taken care of. She just can't sit still. I don't know how she does it all. Some how after all of that she was still able to find a quiet moment to cuttle sweet Hadley, and we were able to have my treasured mother daughter conversations. What a wonderful blessing she is to me, and I am so thankful to have her as my mother, and my children are so blessed to have such a wonderful Grandma.

Love the new post so cute.. And the video looks great I will need to start to post and take more video of my kids. You have inspired me..so thanks
I don't know if there is a more loving mom out there. Mom is always there when we need her. I sure hope to be all she is to us, with my kids. Love your post! Hadley is beautiful!
Okay you need to update!!! It's February and I'm still waiting from afar!!
Parts of me want to be just like mom, but then I know I don't have the energy to go and go like she does. How does anyone give so much and not burn out. I am alway feeling burned out and I don't do half of what she does.
Sis I really love you an think of you and your wonderful family often.
My mom is totally the same! She comes here and she is always one or TWO steps ahead of me! She reads my mind and knows exactly what I need her to help me with! Wish she lived closer...I miss her tremendously!
