Happy Mother’s Day! We hope you’ve enjoyed your day from everyone at Time 2 $ave!

I published this post first thing this morning, and wanted to repost this evening, as I know many of us have spent the day celebrating Mother’s Day with our families.  I pray that you have had a blessed day and that you have been surrounded by love.  I’m so thankful that I got to spend the day with my mom and my family.  I don’t have words to describe how full my heart is right now.  My mom has been through so much this year with her health I’m so thankful that today I got to celebrate Mother’s Day with her.  Not in a hospital……….but sitting beside her at church, eating her yummy cooking, watching her play with my children and enjoying her company.

For that, I am thankful.

At the same time, I know that some of you may not feel appreciated today, or feel like all that you do doesn’t matter.  If that describes how you feel click here.  I’ve (Kasey) shared The Invisible Woman the past two years after hearing it at a mom’s group at church.

So many times we give so much of ourselves and don’t know if we have made a difference or not. Even on a day like Mother’s Day when we “should” feel most appreciated, many of us may struggle with insecurities in our mind. Today – to every woman out there we want to remind you how important you are, how loved you are by the God of the universe, and how eternally important it is to be a mom.

My Mother’s Day Tribute to my Mom and the little one’s who made me a mommy.  

As many of you know, my mom recently had to have open heart surgery. This Mother’s Day I am especially thankful to spend with her. Here we are yesterday at a Mother Daughter Luncheon, you would never guess by looking at her she had open heart surgery less than 6 weeks ago. I think she looks amazing!!

The reason I celebrate Mother’s Day – my mom, and the little one’s who call me Mommy.

My firstborn and mini me, this girl loves with all her heart. She’s passionate and full of curiosity. Everything is an adventure with my Morgie – Pooh.

What about you? What are you thankful for today? You’d sure make our day if you shared with us:) We want to acknowledge that for many, today is bittersweet. If you’ve lost your mom, or if you are a mom who has lost a child we pray that you would feel God’s peace and comfort wash over you today as you rest in Him.

Hi – Jamie here!  First of all – Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers!  I’ve been taking it easy today – just lying around in my pj’s drinking some extremely strong coffee made by my 10 year old (all by himself… using 2/3 cups coffee: 4 cups water!) I thought I’d share a couple special gifts I received – feel free to share yours too!

I got a Mother’s Day Acrostic from my 10 year old today – if the writing or spelling makes it hard to read, let me translate:

J- Joyful
A – Action
M – Marvelous
I – Interrogate
E – Excellent Mother

That just about sums me up I guess?

I also got some amazing coupons from my nearly 12 year old – these are going in my drawer and saved for a special occasion (note that they have NO expiration date   )

My favorite is this living room tidying one – in which I look very skinny and my hair is all feathered and full of bounce.  Also – my bookshelf has never sparkled before – but I’m interested to see how it looks when he’s done with it.
