Mother's Day

My mom is actually in town for Mother's Day this year. It's been a long time since we've shared this holiday so it's been really nice. I made her a brunch this morning. I tried to find things that were low carb (for the most part) and everything turned out yummy! We had a crustless spinach and bacon quiche, fruit salad with homemade whipped cream, turkey bacon and not so carb friendly~ banana bread smeared with whipped cream cheese! MMMMM! The quiche was good but maybe a bit salty (and I'm a saltaholic!!). The recipe calls for cottage cheese which is salty and of course the bacon was salty. I used 2% cottage cheese and I'm wondering if I had used FF if it wouldn't have been so salty. It was good enough though that I would make it again.

After brunch I got to open my presents from Rileigh and Gabby. I love getting handmade gifts from them. Rileigh's brought tears to my eyes it was so sweet. Here is a picture~

Well I thought you'd be able to read this, but it's pretty difficult to see so I'll rewrite it (as she wrote it, spelling mistakes and all).

Dear Mom, I love you because....

*you love me

*you take care of me

*you give me huges when i'm feelin down

*you teach me things

*you give me what I need

*you treat me the way I want to be treated

*you take me to places I like to go

*you take care of me properly

*you always have time for me

*you let me snugel with you

*you let me have the best times ever

*you like me for who I am

*you get me cool stuff

*you are like my shelter

How sweet is that, especially the last one. She said she came up with them all and didn't ask the teacher for any help. Awwwww! I love my baby girl! Gabby's class made lilies out of their handprints and made little bouquets for us. They are adorable!! (Pic is at top)

My awesome husband got me a new Coach purse and wallet for Mother's Day which was a huge surprise. I wasn't expecting that at all but I'm lovin it!! :) He's so sweet! I feel kinda bad because his birthday is next week and all I got him was ShamWow!! He's been saying he wanted to try it out for a long time, so I gave in and spent the whole $19.99 on it. Here is a pic of my purse~

Nice huh??? I'm not the type of person who goes out and spends tons of money on clothes, purses and shoes, but I'm totally a sucker for Coach purses!! I just love how soft they are and how after you've used them for a few years they get even softer. They feel like butta!!! They are also made so well that they last forever! The other plus is that he got these at the Coach Outlet in Seattle, so they cost less than they would have at a regular Coach store, can't beat that!!

Hope all you Mom's have a great Mother's Day!!
