Happy Mother's Day to all the mama's and mama-to-be's out there!  

Big shout out to my own mom.

She's pretty awesome, in case you didn't know.

I have been incredibly blessed to have such an amazing and loving mom.

She has taught me so much and has been such a support throughout the years.

There were times when I didn't always like my mom (oh the joys of being a teenager, ha ha!), but that was probably more because she was trying to teach me important life lessons and loved me enough to say things straight.

I appreciate how my mom is such an example to me and how she has set such a high standard of what it means to be a mama to my own babies.

I love you, Mama D!  

Thanks for being my mom and for loving on me!  You rock!

There she is (just last week!), with my babies and Papa D.

A few years ago, if you would have asked me where I envisioned myself at 25, being married and having two babies probably wouldn't have been at the top of my list - I just had other plans and ideas for what I was going to do with my young life at the time and babies weren't exactly in the picture yet.

But God had other plans for Max and I.

Plans that I could never have imagined or dreamed up.

And I am so blessed.

These two babies that we have been entrusted with are joys.

Being a mama is hard work and God is constantly teaching me through them.

Although a few years ago I didn't have a clue that this is where I would be right now, I now can tell you that I wouldn't trade it for anything - I can not imagine my life without these two sweet babes.

I am so proud to be their Mama.
