I love this special day that celebrates the person who was our first home.
To all of us that were lucky enough to have a wonderful mother (I know that many weren’t) I hope that you get to spend some of your day with her; whether touching her physically or only with your mind.
I especially want to wish a Happy Mother’s day to my own mother and to my daughter Angelique who will be celebrating her second mother’s day with my sweet Josephine.
A few quotes in honour of mothers:
A young boy said to his mother ‘How old were you when I was born?’ His mother replied ‘27.’ ‘Wow, that’s a lot of time we missed spending together.’ ~~ Unknown ~~
Your arms were always open when I needed a hug. Your heart understood when I needed a friend. Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson. Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly. ~~ Sarah Malin ~~
Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever. ~~ Unknown ~~
If I had a flower for each time I thought of my mother, I could walk in my garden forever. ~~ Unknown ~~

Hi Renee,
Hope you have a beautiful Mother's day. Those are lovely quotes, especially the one about the flowers.

Thank you for a lovely post!
...person who was our first home...
I love that. Those words are magic. And the quote from the young boy melts my heart!
Renee, to one HELL of a mother, a person who could have held the world record for most "Mother of the Year" awards, to the most loving and ginormous hearted person who gives love and laughter even to those who are not in her immediate family, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I hope it is filled with blessings and kisses.
xoxoxo!
♥ Happy mother's day

Happy Mother's Day Renee! I hope you have a happy day with many smiles and blessings :)
Same to you Renee. Happy mother's day indeed. As I sit here I can hear my two (22 and 24) chatting in the family room and I know I did at least one thing well . .raising them. Cheers :)
Oh my goodness - the one where the child is sad for the years that they missed together made me cry! What a beautiful perspective!
Happy Mothers Day to you, your Mom and to lovely Angelique!
Love audrey

Happy Mother's Day Renee. You deserve the top award today friend. This is your day! I will think of you and Bella, as I save that woman on the easel in the closet. She is a mother and I might as well stop her from perishing.
Happy Mother's Day, beloved Renee! Such an endearing post. Pure sweetness. Wishing you a most lovely day. **blows kisses** Deborah
Such a sweet image to go along with the perfectly chosen quotes.
I love "the first home" as well, and what that little boy said. Wow.
I didn't have a good mother but I believe I had a loving mother. I believe she did the best she knew how. I miss her.
Your children have one of the best mothers in the world! Probably the best one in Winnipeg ;)
Enjoy this special day my friend. You have a lot to celebrate and be proud of.

Happy Mother's Day Renee:)
Your compliment in my blog touched me way beyond your imagination. Thats one of the Incredible Compliments I've ever received. Thank you so much:)
Hugs

I'm absolutely holding onto that Renee. Did you know I'm writing a book about her? I haven't added to it an at least a year because it's hard to write. It's about having her back so she could have just "One Good Year." I ball my eyes out when I write it.
xoxo
Lolo
renee, i so liked that you recognized and included the many children among us who might not have had a wonderful mother. i appreciate how sensitive and thoughtful you always are. if i were cooking up a recipe for a good friend, i would use your ingredients (including your wicked playfulness)
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, moon sister. You deserve a grand day.
xo
Happy Day to you and yours.
Happy Mother's day Renee, to one who does it with grace, and shares that Mothering energy in an archetypal fashion - as my computer dictionary defines it:
• a person who provides the care and affection normally associated with a female parent
much love my friend,
Karin
Great quotes. I love the first one!
Happy Mothers Day Renee!
Happy Mother's Day Renee - lovely image and quotes! It's my second this year as Brits celebrate Mothering Sunday which is the 4th Sunday in Lent! I also got a call from Juliette (younger daughter) today wishing me happy Australian Mother's day - am always so happy to get good wishes from the girls wherever they are, whatever the celebration!
Happy Mother's Day to you Renee and your daughter too!
I love this painting so much,is there a place I could buy a print? It would make a perfect Mother's day gift for my own daughter.
much love to you,
Lori
Happy Mothers Day to you and to your daughter too Renee! A beautiful, sunny, flower and fab food filled day to you....
Oh renee, I took a break because I forgot to greet the lovely Josephine's mother a Happy Mother's Day. to - Angelique!
Also your sisters!
Happy Mother's Day!
I also love those quotes! A very Happy Mother's Day to you too. And your sweet daughter. Isn't it fun when we can celebrate Mother's Day with our daughter? It feels weird at first, but we soon get used to it.
Hugs

Happy Mother's Day Renee! A beautiful post!
Happy Mother's Day Renee! I just watched 'You've got Mail' last night for the 1000th time and your art reminds me of the character (Kathleen Kelly) and her mother in the photograph she treasured! They were twirling :)
Have a wonderful day♥
Darla

Happy Mother's Day dear Renee - you were one of ther very first people I thought of this morning - I hope you have a lovely day! Huge hugs and love, Sarah
Happy Mother's Day to you Renee - I hope you are having a fabulous day with your daughter and family!
Love the quotes, I was familiar with the quote about holding hands/in heart forever one (actually used it on my post today), however had not seen the others. They are wonderful.
Hugs
'I love this special day that celebrates the person who was our first home.'
That's one of the most beautiful opening sentences I have read in a long time. Have a wonderful Mothers' Day. Many thanks.
Greetings from London.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY RENEE*.*.*.*.~~~~...~~~...*.*.*.*.
I hope that your day is filled with love. I know you have wonderful kids.
My mom has been gone 8 years and I do miss her.
I was lucky enough to have a wonderful mother in law.
We had an awesome woman.
Good day to you my dear Renne.

A very happy mother's day to you!
I was happy to get to spend my mother's day in the other direction, with the kids who call me Mom.
I love the painting, Renee.
thinking of you, renee, and hoping you and that wonderful family of yours had a good day. i had a great time with jess and her family. mr. ryan is so much fun to be with. his mother was sure he would not last more than ten minutes at the dinner table so i bet her $ 25 and guess who won? i'm going to send her a bill if she doesn't pay me!
love from one mother to another: you rock, renee. i hope you are feeling okay.
xo
How was your Mother's Day? Are you exhausted?
Renee, hope you had a great Mother's Day. Have a great week.
Happy Mothers Day sweet sweet Renee...the very thought of you makes me smile...you are like medicine for the soul.
I hope you have had a wonderful day. I KNOW that you have had a wonderful day my friend.
I love you

Hi Renee, I read a quote last night about motherhood and I wanna share it with you:
Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours, it wanders wherever your children do.
Hope you a had a wonderful day.
xoxo
Björnik
Happy Mother's Day to you, too --
Happy Mothers Day Renee to both you and your daughter - hope it was a special one! Love the image you have used in todays post - just beautiful :) Lisa
i LOVE being a mother but am feeling a bit unloved this year !
oh renee you speak from the heart. no, i didn't have this with my mom, and i envy those who did, but i made damned sure to be a great mom myself and now a great and wonderful grandie! we can only learn from the mistakes of others...my main mantra and clue to motherhood is giving 'UNCONDITIONAL' love! sigh....love ya R.
Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day - beautiful quotes, and I love the picture!
I love the quotes, especially the first one. I always feel lucky that you were only 20! I didn't have to miss that much.
Love you. You looked beautiful yesterday.
PS. I want to sneak back there for some more tea and dessert.
I loved the quote Bjornik found … it really rings true for me … my heart is currently in Ireland and soon to be in Montreal, Croatia and Russia of all places…it has wandered to places I have never been.
Awww, that first quote is so sweet!
Happy Mother's Day to the most amazing woman I know.
I am grateful to call you my moma or my Pudd.

I am putting together a compilation of Mother's Day thoughts from fellow bloggers. I was wondering if I could quote you in a guest blog. Thanks, Dennis
