November Showers bring PINK girly stuff

My incredible Mother, MIL and best friends showered Little Miss and I last night. Best party ever!
Pink champagne for the ladies, cider for me. Delicious stinky cheese and crackers [my love language] Dried fruit and nuts. Turkish lamb meatballs and chicken kebabs. Tabouli and Fall inspired salads.

The gifts were outta control. Little Miss' shoe collection is quickly overshadowing mine, receiving 8 shoes and booties, all pink and silver. Add those to the 4+ pairs I have already for her, and she owns more shoes than I do! She got a tutu and a crown [YES!] a rad quilt, some sweet headbands and the most incredible hand made baby book. So much pink! I love it. That is just a tiny taste of the love [in gift form] that she received. I can't wait to dress my little fashionista.

I was honored to be sitting in a room full of women that truly love me and are cheering me on as I bring another little life into the world.

My mom is so rad. Besides being a great mother to me, she is inspiring in so many ways, to many people. She is an artist, ordained minister of the Gospel, entrepreneur, business owner, world traveler, shopper extraordinare, and not to mention she's hilarious. But one thing that she has been doing lately just blows my mind. She is a garbage dump treasurer. And the 'treasures' aren't material, the treasures are people. She spends her time and money going to garbage dumps around the world and she finds diamonds in the rough. She brings them hugs, joy, love, food, clothes and Jesus.

She is my hero. Watch this video and you will understand why.

Happy Mother's Day!
