Happy Mother’s Day

To my madre,

mom

who always puts her children before herself and has taught me so much about life and love.

To my nana,

who radiates with love… she’s the glue that holds our family together.

To my nana and stepmom,

game

for setting an example of how to be an amazing wife and mother, and for throwing killer dinner parties 😉

To my nana-nana

nana and tata

spunky and gorgeous… I’m very fortunate to be able to visit my great grandmother anytime, since she’s here in Tucson.

To all of the moms out there,

the auties, caregivers, moms of fur children

    Happy Mother’s Day to the mamas and nanas in your life and everyone’s life. I am touched you thought to include me in this post, Gina. Seriously, means the world. Thank you!!! Being a mom is my #1 job in life and if I don’t do that well, then none of the rest of it matters, so thank you for saying I am one of the moms you admire.

    One day you will be an AMAZING!!! mom…I mean, I just know this with every fiber of my being. That you will be The Best! (And that your kids will have awesome food to eat too…:))

    Lovely tribute post to the mom’s in your life. Just beautiful.

    Have a wonderful day!
