thankful thursday : 2

Well...it's another Thursday. The week has flown by! With school starting and a great influx of orders for us, Brooke and I have been B U S Y.

I've been looking forward to this post all week. I am so glad I'm doing these "thankful Thursdays"...especially this week.

You see, I always love my mom, but she has been especially on my mind since just celebrated a birthday this weekend. I won't tell you how old she is, but I can guarantee you that once you see how amazing she looks... you would be shocked if I told you her real age. She is beautiful and wonderful and has taught me so much about being a great mother. She and my dad (who are still happily married) managed to successfully raise five happy, healthy and successful daughters.

She came over for dinner last night and when I watched her with my dad (who is equally as wonderful) interact with my boys....it filled my heart with so much gladness. My boys are so lucky to have a Nana who adores them and I am so lucky to have a mom that has always been my biggest fan, my counselor, my teacher and my friend.

Thanks Mommy...you are the best and I am especially thankful for you on this Thursday (and everyday).

p.s. If you live in the Chicago area and need an interior designer or custom window treatments...you'd be a fool not to contact my mom...she is a rock star when it comes to design.
