moms

i've always appreciated and loved my mom for the hard work she and my dad have done and continue to do in raising myself and my two younger sisters. but since becoming a mom 16.5 months ago, i've appreciated her even more. there are so many of those precious little things that a mom does and feels that can't truly be realized until you become a mom yourself. and the concern for your child's well-being never ends whether they are 16 days old, 16 weeks old, 16 months old, 16 years old or 61 years old...

thank you to my mom, my grandmas, my aunts, my mom-in-law, my friends, who are all great mothers and whose love and care shape the next generations. happy belated mother's day! and special happy soon-to-be-moms wishes to my middle sis who's first baby is due next month and my sis-in-law who will be meeting her adopted baby girl in vietnam next month. yay!

pictured above are three letterpress cards i received for mother's day on sunday! :) the green heart and brown squirrels card was given to me by my husband and was designed by lark press. the brown monkey with red heart balloons from my son were designed by egg press and the blue birds pattern card is from my youngest sis and designed by enormous champion.
