happy mother's day!

happy mother's day to the best mother on the planet.

there are no words to thank you for everything you have given me. but that shouldn't stop me from trying to...so, here is a small attempt thank you for the decades of car rides and planning and homecooked meals, for your unwavering support and encouragement (i.e. for thinking this little blog is going to change the world) for teaching me early that ankle strap sandals are never flattering, for raising us so well in a place that gave us such an appreciation for the little things, for always always always putting us first, for passing on your sandwich making and bargain finding skills, and most importantly - thank you for teaching me what love is. it's all because of you.

well, dad a little bit too, but don't tell him that.

mom and me, circa 1982.

please note the outfit - clogs, levis, and an llbean sweater. yet again, mom was right, everything old is new again.
