I wish I could deliver something sweet for Mothers Day to all of the amazing women that I know.  

But that would be  a lot.  

I am blessed to know so so many!

"Few of us will reach our potential without the nurturing of both the mother who bore us and the mothers who bear us."-Sheri L. Dew


I am honored to be privy to the influence of great females!

Mostly, I feel such gratitude for those close to me whose hands have shaped me into who I need to be for all the roles womanhood entails. 

Happy Mothers Day!!!

And she wore an Alexander McQueen dress...

I had no idea I would be so into the Royal Wedding.  Up until today I have paid little attention to all the hype.  But once it was on this morning I couldn't stop watching.  Guess it makes sense, I am sort of in the wedding business.

I've felt a little bit giddy and day dreamy through it all.  Perhaps reminiscent of where we come from and forthtelling of where we end up.  I thought a lot about Elder Uchtdorf's talk Your Happily Ever After.  Fitting.  

Also fitting for a Royal Wedding?  Our Easter bonnets and bowties:

This Royal Wedding Brunch would have been so fun!!!

Saint Peter Port is a real place and I want to go there...

I'm in a reading phase.  Yes, reading on a regular basis comes and goes for me.  This latest juncture has included the following, in no particular order...

This one was cute and sweet.  A light, fun read...

This book was unexpectedly compelling.  A great story. A little bit of history. Can't wait for the movie...

This book is my new favorite.  I loved it!!!

I was completely enthralled with the inspiring and unique characters and I laughed out loud numerous times at the hysterical  and clever back and forth correspondence.  Perhaps a tiny bit predictable, some disturbing historical info but a novel I will cherish for sure... 

I am definitely not a critic of literature.  I just like a good story.

We're going to Hawaii in a week and I'm hoping to get through a couple more while relaxing at the pool.  I need some suggestions...

Two that I've been wanting to read:

Jane Eyre

{recently re-made as a movie}

&

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Any good reccomendations, please share!
