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

Right back at ya, Babes! Hope your Mother's Day was as fabulous - and as "hot" - as you :) xo, Cheeks
Great, great message today! Wishing you many bouquets for the difference that you make.
Thanks anonymous! Your comment just gave me like six dozen teapots full of flowers :) Bless you. xox, Cheeks
I totally love the image of the flowers in the sink. I saw your fabulous, self-designed, cherry-and-granite-and-stainless gourmet kitchen of 9 years ago, and I've seen the one you have today, and I have to say that I prefer the image of today. And that metaphor of flowers in today's sink carries beyond the flowers!! annie
Thanks, Annie! One of the many reasons I love you is that you see these things. So glad to be on the journey w/you. xoxoxo, S
