Minimalist Mother's Day

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday and that all you mommies got super spoiled. My kids were amazing with all the little things they did for me, especially with them not getting me anything that would take up too much space. If you have been following this blog, you know that we are on a journey to becoming minimalists. That journey is quite long, but it's becoming easier everyday. I explained to my kids that I really didn't want much for Mother's Day and all I really wanted was a clean house-which I didn't get but that's not the point. The point is they listened, they realized I really wasn't interested in jewelry that I would never be able to wear or little nick-nacks. They knew what things I actually enjoy and what drives me crazy. This year was probably the best Mother's Day I ever had and it was probably also the simplest one ever. I mean really, my kids just made me breakfast and CLEANED IT UP!(moms know what I'm talking about here!). That alone was more than enough present wise, but just having a relaxing day with my family was the best gift ever and I'm so glad we did it. I am beginning to realize that no amount of stuff will ever be able to replace the feeling I get when I am with my family. That feeling is the most amazing thing in the world and I am so blessed to have gotten to spend an amazing and beautiful day with them. I am not going to lie, the fact they each got rid of two toys helped a lot, but even if they didn't do that and we just hung out all day it would have been just as perfect. So, to my kids and my amazing husband-thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so amazing and understanding what I truly wanted and needed yesterday. Now, to figure out what to do for my husband for Father's Day, because he is not nearly as easily pleased as I am about holidays. Wish me luck! Happy Mother's Day yet again!
