MiMi Visits







I'm not one for telling everyone how great my husband is. Maybe I'm mean, but I feel like it's something you should tell him to his FACE, not on your blog or during testimony meeting in church. But, my husband flew in my mom as a surprise. And that alone, makes him the greatest person in the universe.

She came. She left. It was the greatest visit. We went shopping with two carts at every thrift store and 80% off Halloween sale we could find. She bathed babies while I wasted time on Pinterest. We made a burlap ruffled table runner. She babysat while Trev and I went on a REAL date. We ate out. She made us a 5 course meal. She cleaned. She made Treyson feel special.

Moms are the greatest. They rescue. They lift. They love your kids as much as you do. They understand.

I have huge shoes to fill.

And yes, I know she is stunning.
