Mother’s Day Weekend

After almost three weekends of rains, weather finally cooperated for mothers world-wide. We drove to Fredericksburg for Mother’s Day. As self-proclaimed exceptional Mom, I didn’t think that one day was enough, so I demanded a weekend of festivities.

While packing, D and Beans gave me this shirt. I am Vikings fan, and my favorite character, Lagertha, is a shield maiden.

In keeping up with my favorite TV shows theme, they also gave me three dragons. I am now officially Mother of the Dragons!

I particularly liked the set-up of this winery. It has a tunnel like entrance with al fresco design. Very Italian.

Beans was finally awake in the afternoon and we got ready for dinner. Dinner was at The Nest. Click the link for my entire review. It was heavenly!

Happy faces!

Sunday morning, I was greeted with more goodies!

I had lovely cards and Moscato called Mama Moscato! So appropriate!

That’s not all! They took me outside and had this set-up:

A swing! It was hanging up a tree which commands a full view of our forest and overlooks the hill. Oh the books I can read in this thing! Can.Not. Wait.

Lounged the whole day, sipping my Mama Moscato. It’s days like these that really make me cherish my role as Mom. It’s my most challenging but most rewarding in all the many hats I wear. I cannot imagine what my life would have been if Beans was not in my life. As a working mom, I often feel like I don’t do enough. But I raised my son well enough for him to realize that a good Mom is a happy Mom. He understands that it’s important for me to have my own life and pursuits. Like when I’m writing this blog when i could have been preparing his dinner. He will heat up our wonderful left-overs and will not make me feel guilty about it. Truly, I am blessed.
