Mother's Day 2019 Recap

Hey Everyone! I had a great Mother's Day this past Sunday. I got to go grocery shopping by myself. I treated myself to a non Keto Starbucks. The kids were mostly good- only a few meltdowns. My mom came over and I made us all dinner. I know what your thinking... "Why were you not being pampered by your Husband?" Well I'm not his mother and he had to leave out of town for a business trip for work. I may be the mother to his kids, but he pampers me many other times during the year, so I'm ok with that.

Before I get into how we spent Mother's Day 2019, I just want to take a minute to talk about the most important woman in my life... my mom. My mother has been an amazing mother to me. She has always been selfless by putting me first. Being a single mother, she had to work extra hard just to provide for us. She didn't get child support from my father, who was never in the picture. And she never complained that she had to do it all. I had everything I ever needed and she did it all! She is such a strong women for that and I am so thankful for everything she did for me! 

My mom walking me down the aisle at my Wedding! Love her!

I wouldn’t be the woman, the mom, the wife I am today without her. She has shown me, my family, and my friends who are like family unconditional love. She is always first to offer help with anything. I am so honored to be her daughter. Thanks Mom! I love you!

Now onto how I spent my Mother’s Day. As a mother with 3 kids, I am always happy to go to the grocery store by myself. Just sippin my coffee while I shop is like a little piece of Heaven to me. So my husband watched the kids while I shopped. He knows if I take the kids, I will forget half of everything on my list. I asked my Mom to come over for dinner. we love spending time with Mom Mom.

For mother's Day, I just got my mom a few little things. Here's what I got her:

I made Salmon, veggies, rice and shrimp kebobs. I baked the Salmon in the oven. I prep my salmon by melting a stick of butter and mixing lemon juice and pouring that on top. Then I top it with lots of minced garlic, salt, pepper and basil. Bake it for 40 minutes at 400. It always turns out great! I took the easy way with the rice and made 
Rice-a-roni. I grilled the zucchini and shrimp kebobs on the grill. The Kebobs were a little too spicy for our liking, but everything else turned out great. 

Even though my 3 kids drive me crazy most days, I am so grateful they are mine. I love watching them grow every day into little independent people. As much as I want them to grow up so they can tell me what hurts, or explain what they mean, I really just want them to stay little. Stay innocent. But they can’t. So I will help them when they need help, I will teach them when they want to learn from me, I will comfort them when they are hurt, and I will hold their hand until they are ready to be free. I will always be there, whenever they need me. I have had many jobs in my life, but the best job is being a mother. I love them today, I’ll love them tomorrow and I’ll love them forever.  

Until next time....

Target Drive Up! My new FAVORITE!!

I love Target... if you know me, you should know that much. I would consider myself a basic bitch who can be found at Target in my yoga pant (that have never been to a yoga class) with a Starbucks in my hand! 

So you may have heard there now is drive up pick up option at Target. So how it works, is you order online and then it tells you that it takes about two hours for your order to be ready. Well I ordered mine yesterday and it was ready in 12 minutes!! 

My Target Order - Ordered at 12:25 pm

Order ready at 12:37!! 

I had planned on doing other shopping and stopping by target later to pick it up so I was in no rush. After our Costco trip, which was a shit show- 3 kids all by myself! I knew that we had to go by target, so we went by and pulled into the drive up section which has two parking spots.

I then got on my phone, onto the app and logged in and it knew that I was there. It said that they would be out there within two minutes and no joke she was out there in a minute. One minute!!! This was great since I didn’t have to take all three of my kids into target. And I didn’t overspend. Win for me! I only ordered two things, so I’m sure that’s why it only took 12 minutes for my order to be ready, but it was so worth it. I am always tempted to grab a Starbucks once I enter Target and this helps my Starbucks habit by not having to go in. I will be using this so much more! Thanks again Target!
