Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was truly one to remember!  We celebrated with a beautiful brunch at the Metropolitan Club in Chicago, surrounded by incredible food, stunning views, and, most importantly, the people I love most.

I feel so lucky to have the best family by my side.  The laughter, the heartfelt conversations, and the little moments of joy throughout the day made me realize, yet again, how blessed I am.

Mother's Day is a reminder of how special it is to share life with a supportive, loving family - and I couldn't ask for a better one.

Here's to celebrating the moms and mother figures who make life so much sweeter!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was very special this year.  We went to the trampoline park (Altitude).  When we first got there the boys put together a flower bouquet while I got my hair curled.  The boys worked with Daddy on the perfect card for me while I drank a mimosa.  Afterwards the boys and I did a mini photo shoot (Daddy joined later) and it was the perfect day.  It was so special  to have all of us together and doing all the things I love.  I think the boys had the most fun at the trampoline park and I had the most fun watching them.  I'm such a lucky mama.

Mother's Day was a little different this year with the stay at home order.  We couldn't go to our usual spot for brunch, but we made the best of it.  We were actually driving home from our road trip on Mother's Day.  We were 10 minutes from home when we got in a car accident.  We were coming around a curve on the highway by White Sox park when a car stopped in the middle of the lane with car trouble.  There was no shoulder so the car in front of us slammed on their brakes and so did we, but with the rain we were hydroplaning.  We slammed on our breaks as soon as possible, but with the rain it was impossible to fully stop so we rear-ended the car in front of us.  The tow truck quickly came and moved the car with problems while we got off on 18th street and waited for the cops.  The police officer did not give Craig a ticket luckily (he mentioned he wouldn't do that because it was Mother's Day), but it definitely did a lot of damage.  At least no one was hurt.  Afterwards we ordered food and enjoyed Gibson's Italia for dinner.  The next day our au pair, Marina, helped the boys make cookies for me.  It was so cute!  They made the cookies and decorated them with icing and sprinkles.   They also made really sweet pictures for me along with a message all about me.  I was so happy to get these cute sentimental things from the boys.  I'm so lucky and blessed.
