Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all you beautiful, strong, kind, loving, fun, free-spirited, courageous, and talented ladies out there! I hope you have been blessed with a day of love and laughter.

Today was a great day for me. My wonderful husband fixed a delicious breakfast for the three of us. My daughter and I visited my gorgeous mom for mother's day. My step-dad fixed us a scrumptious late lunch and even brought in a decadent chocolate cake for dessert. It was a chocoholic's dream come true. My daughter devoured her piece in about a minute flat!

My mom is one incredible lady. Her name is Toni Forrest and she is an interior decorator / feng shui consultant with her own business, Interior Visions, in which she assists people in co-creating an environment that reflects their deepest souls. She is fantastic. She has a real gift. My mom is a strong woman with a gentle and kind spirit. She is full of love and joy and is a truly wonderful mother and grandmother. She and my daughter are so close and have a beautiful relationship. I am so grateful for her love and support and for her unyielding faith in me. Thank you, mom. I love you!

I took a couple of quick images of Mom today. It's hard to believe when you look at this image that this woman could have two thirty-something daughters! The necklace she is wearing was a beautiful gift from my sister. I, of course, bestowed my mom with a portrait of my mother's favorite model, my daughter! I wonder if she will tire of the portrait gifts one day. Probably not!
