I hope all you mommas (bio, step, adopted, unable to conceive, etc) had a beautiful day on Sunday. Personally, my day was amazing. I slept in, Husband grilled out exactly what I wanted to eat, I did practically nothing the entire length of the day, and Husband/the kids got me a personalized necklace with all four of the kids' names and their respective birthstones which made me cry when I opened it because I had literally been looking for something exactly like that for myself but didn't want to spend the money.
