happy mother's day!

i've posted a lot of photos of my mom from back in the day, but she's just as beautiful now as she was back then. this photo is one of my favorites, taken on my wedding day the moment she saw me fully made up and ready to get married. she just looks so pretty and you can see all of the emotion in her face... i'm actually tearing up right now looking at it. 

happy mother's day to all you mom's out there!

Top 5 with....my Mom!

To celebrate Mother's Day I decided to ask my Mom to do this week's "Top 5 with..."  I thought it would be fun to ask her these sorts of questions since we don't usually discuss these topics. I talk to her almost every single day and I never knew what her favorite movies were... or words that she would use to describe falling in love?!

So, here are a few of my mom's favorite things...

2. The Way We Were
