Happy Mother’s Day 💕

I was 35 when my son was put into my arms. Hugging, smelling him for the first time was like a watching sunshine after thunder. He is the one and only who made me a mom. Aria turns 16 this year. Memories..singing right now 😊🎼  Wow.. It was like a blink of an eye all the way we walked together.
Life is like making a cake. There are certain ingredients like flour or oil but in the end if you want to make a change , you have to change some ingredients, add or delete some. It depends on you..softer, more flavorful, replacing healthier ones, sweeter or making it more colorful.

Early in the morning I was doing yoga and he walked through my mat in silence (I felt it, just waited for him to get closer what ever his plan was 😁, because he never wakes up that early 😂 and opened my eyes. He had put a beautiful purple plant (matches well with the mat 😂💜) in a pot in front of me. He gave me a huge hug which is the best thing a mom could ask for.. he said ‘smile’. I already was so happy, impossible not to smile and got this shot. He made my day 😁.

This lovely lady is my mom! I miss her and will always love her!  Rest in peace mom.

My surprise for my son is a carrot cake. No pecan on top but added in it just the way he liked.

Carrot Cake

I hope you all having a wonderful Mother’s Day ladies. Sometimes a bunch of flowers they brought with a big smile on their faces, sometimes a phone call, hearing their voices, feeling love from the bottom of their hearts 💜 is the best Mother’s Day gift, isn’t it?

Happy Mother's Day

It was the first time, I let our cat, Zoey outside yesterday. She was spayed three weeks ago. She got so excited, jumped over the neighbor's backyards. She smelled eveything in our new backyard. Whenever I call her, she runs away from me. I was terrified she won't come back in a while. After a couple of hours, she was back to use her litter box!!! Funny ha?

After my mom passed away, we moved to the next city which my sister and brother live in.  April brings new things to my life every year!

Zoey was barely breathing when she got back home and slept all afternoon until Aria was back from school.

Last month of school year! What a tough winter it was! Can't wait for hot summer days. Sun, beach, stepping on sand, ice-cream, ice-coffees and Pina colada!! Spending time with family members, good friends and also good food, yummy recipes from yonca's kitchen :-)
You're all welcome!
Anything I forgot?

This is the first Mother's Day without my mom.. It has been 3 months since she passed away,  I still feel that she is still alive and waiting for me to come home, set the breakfast table, put the flowers I brought to her for Mother's Day and having a sweet conversation while having breakfast.

I love you mom! I will always love you!

Being a mom is the best thing makes me feel better this year. His kisses, his Mother's Day cards as usual, his saying  'I love you mom' with his changing voice each year!  

Happy Mother's Day to you all!
