Mother's Day Flowers

I had a sink full of flowers on Mother's Day. Why, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya why.

Because about 9 years ago I bought some super cute pots I intended to fill with Mother's Day bouquets for all the wonderful Moms I knew.

They really would have been some fabulous arrangements.

Back then I was a relatively new Mom permanently ensconced in Suburban Housewife-hood. I believed the people to be celebrated on Mother's Day were women (specifically married women) who had borne or adopted children.

A few things have changed since then. Including my marital status, my flower purchasing frequency, and the size of the pots I can afford to fill.

Another thing that has changed is my outlook on Motherhood. Now I firmly believe "everyone who has ever nurtured anyone" should be celebrated on Mother's Day (and throughout May a.k.a., Mother's Month).

This year I finally semi-delivered on the bouquet plan hatched 9 years ago. Coming up this month, more about the kitchen sink flowers and some of my favorite "Moms."

I hope you have a beautiful day, ladies and gentlemen. You are in my hasty prayers. xoxoxo, Cheeky
