Mother's Day

This was my second Mother's Day with Miss Sally and we had a fabulous day. We started out with a lazy morning. Joe got up with the baby so I could sleep in. Unfortunately I was wide awake and decided to go on and get up. I also let Joe get back in the bed and I fed Sally breakfast and we played in her room. After her midmorning nap, we went to lunch at Soul Fish in Cooper-Young. 

 After lunch, we went to the Memphis Zoo. We are members and try to go every few weeks. Sally is getting to the age where she gets so excited to see all of the animals. Her favorites were the monkeys (of course), the giraffes and the ducks. 

For dinner, we went to eat at Firebirds. It was delicious as usual! Joe and Sally were good little shoppers and builders. Sally got me running water bottle that is going to be super handy!



 Joe built me the most beautiful, rustic table for the entry hall. It is made from old barn wood and is so special since he made it. I LOVE it!!  I just need to style it up a bit.

My Mama {Day 12}

Today's topic is to blog about something I miss. Well today is an appropriate day to blog about my sweet mama :)

Even though my mother isn't with us on this Earth anymore. I know she is with us in spirit. 

I think about her at least once a day and it makes me so sad that she is not here to share in the joy of little Sally. Yup, my mama's name was Sally too. That is why I now have a Sally of my own. 

. 

 My mother was the most supportive and loving mom that a child could ever have.

 I am so fortunate that she was able to stay home with me when I was little and I love all the memories I have of us together.

 I am so happy that she stayed on Earth long enough to meet Joe and be present at our wedding. I know it gave her so much joy to see me so happy with a man that she had been able to meet, spend time with and love.

 Happy Mother's Day Mommy! I love you and miss you every day!

My training group that I have been doing did our 5K(Oak Hall) on Sunday. Although I did not go super fast by any means, I was very proud of myself and set my PR! Here are some pics from after the race!

Bonus points if you know who this is!! It's Hollywood from the movie, Mannequin. I was so excited when I saw it was coming on Tv this week...so naturally I set my DVR and recorded it!

It's totally 80's and super cheesy but I love it. Here is my favorite scene:

Woo-hoo! Our whole city is swept up with Grizzlies fever!!

I did Zumba last night at the Germantown Athletic Club. I felt pretty silly since there were some girls there that looked like pro's with their belly dance belt things on. I had fun though!

Here are some of my favorite Pinterest finds from the week.
