I have had some pretty strong feelings about these types of holidays in the past. I've had a few mother's days that just didn't really hit the mark, and I was frustrated that I was frustrated over something as silly as mother's day. and so, this year I changed my mindset. less is more. and everly is now old enough to realize that she should give me a break, at least on something, like wearing the green dress I suggested, instead of the two dresses that she pulled from her closet that can only be described as 'play clothes'.
we spent some time in alameda with my family, spent some time eating at one of our favorite lunch spots, spent some time shopping, and spent some time relaxing. it was quite a nice mother's day weekend indeed. finally.
