I know this post is coming VERY close to Mother’s Day, but luckily everything on it is either free, or easy to give.  

1. A day “off”.  This might sound selfish, ridiculous and annoying to many people…but as a mom to a busy toddler, and being 29 weeks pregnant, I need some REAL “me time”.  Not just a few hours in the evenings after cleaning up 800 toys, the kitchen, and putting dinner away…but a day where I don’t have a time frame, and can just relax.  Alone.  

**I would hope this goes without saying—but I love, love, love my daughter and being a mom.  Wanting some time to myself doesn’t change that!**

2. A Starbucks strawberry banana smoothie.  SO yummy, and caffeine free so I can really indulge with this one—ha!

3. A handmade card from my sweet 19 month old.  Am I allowed to ask for this?  Charlotte loves making crafts, and we make them all the time for other people…but I would really love one from her to me.  Hint, hint…

4.  A sunny, 70 degree weather weekend spent outside.  The only person who can give this to me is God—so I will be praying for it!

5.  Steak on the grill.  I’m craving steak right now…and apparently I have low iron, so this is a gift for me AND baby #2!

6.  Church with my family, followed by a family walk around town.  My favorite.

7. No temper tantrums, picky eaters, or whining!  ;)

8.  A pedicure.  OK, this one is NOT free…but given the fact that I can’t reach my toes at the moment, and summer is just around the corner, I would really like a nice pedicure.  

9. A new CAR!  Haha…kidding.  Well…not kidding..but this one is a stretch for M-day.

…and finally…

10.  Kisses, hugs, love and cuddles from the little girl who made me a mommy.  If this is the only gift I get this weekend, I will smile 100% of the time.  There is no greater blessing than motherhood <3.
