I had such an amazing Mother’s Day with my family this year, and I cant wait to share it with you! If you need a Mother’s Day gift idea, I’m sure your mom would love what I got too!
Morsels of Joy: Mother’s Day
Well, sadly, it is the day after Mothers Day. Which means no more being “forbidden to clean, cook, or change diapers”. {big frown face}
What did you end up making for your mom for Mothers Day? Did you make it or purchase it? Normally, I am a “make the gift” kind of girl. I just think that it is more heart felt and you spend time thinking about that person and what they would like. Ya know? So… Cason, Mike, and I made our Mothers Day gifts. We made these awesome Vintage Painted Mason Jars that can be used a flower vases. I got the idea for this project from Live.Laugh.Rowe. and she’s got plenty more of where that came from! Go check her out!
Ok, now to start the cuteness pictures. 🙂
Cason wasn’t quite sure what to do at first.
But then he started to get the hang out of it!
And by the end, he was completely covered in all colors of paint. {we added the coral heart on his chest for extra fun} He had a blast.. and so did we! 🙂 Here are a couple of pics of the finished product.
All in all, yesterday was a wonderful day! I woke up to Mike and Cason bringing me breakfast in bed along with a warm latte with cinnamon on top. YUM! Church that morning had awesome worship which was followed by a great message about how Jesus cherishes women and they are the daughters of his heart. Then my favorite part! It was food time! 🙂 We headed over to my brother and sister in laws house to meet up with the whole motley crew. {9 adults and 3 kiddos… lots of personas} All the boys made lunch and dessert while the moms and kids just played. It was awesome! I love family and we all had so much fun just hanging out together.

My brother and his fiancee jumping on the trampoline, he was so proud that he had done a back flip and landed on his feet. 🙂

So.. that was just a piece into what happened during my Mothers Day and the many Morsels of Joy I found throughout the day. What about you? What were your Morsels of Joy yesterday? I would love hear.. its always fun to celebrate with each other! 🙂
Loved your moms day blog. I’m glad you had a wonderful Mothers Day.
Thank you so much, it means ALOT! It was actually the first time in like 6 years that I was able to spend Mothers Day with my mom too. Crazy!
Looks like it was quite a great day Krista- so happy to see that.
🙂 it was awesome, hope you had a great day too! Happy Monday!
Sounds like a wonderful day! I, too, am sad that it is the day after Mother’s Day and back to diaper changing, cooking, cleaning, and all the rest of the stuff I didn’t have to do yesterday…but it was definitely nice to have the day off.
I love how your mason jars came out! I saw the tutorial and thought it would be neat, but wasn’t sure if they’d actually turn out or not. They look great! And I love that you had Cason made one too!
Yah! Gotta love the men who pamper their wives on mothers day… good men! 🙂 Yeah, when I saw the tutorial I was super excited and even more so that this “non crafty momma” was able to make not 1 but 4! woot! woot! Plus, it was a blast to make with Cason. You should totally do it, you have alot more craftiness in you then me. Glad you had an awesome mothers day!
