my first mothers day.

This first mother's day weekend has been filled with so many amazing blessings.  

Including a new/old MCM bedroom set ($75 at a garage sale that my scored for me)!!!

a MUCH needed new car from my honey :)

and lots of other little things.  All though all of those things are so wonderful, nothing compares to the blessing of actually being a mother this year.

This little one has brought me more joy then I could have ever imagined.  My heart is filled with so much love and it increases every second of every day.

Being Amelia's mom is the best gift I could have ever gotten.

I love her with everything I have.

I also want to give a shout out to my mom!

**

You are the best mom ever.

Thank you for teaching me how to be the best mom.

I love you.

a mid-century mother's day

When I received an email about this event, I knew it was the perfect thing for my mom and I to do for Mother's Day.  Ladue Estates is the first mid-century modern neighborhood in Missouri which is so cool.  The lovely residents opened up their homes and their streets for tours!

I will let the photos do most of the talking because they are gorgeous :)

I love all of the history and the architectural information that we learned on the tour.  I can officially say that I know all of the architectural elements that makes a home "mid century modern."

and here are some photos from the insides of these lovely mid century homes...

This home was very mid-century modern with it's interior design as well.  It was really cool because it was like stepping into my grandma's house.  The furniture and nick-knacks resemble my grandma's style so much!

This home was very very modern and minimialistic.  Like most of the rooms only had a couple of pieces of furniture and that is it!  it was beautiful and it was a pleasure to see these pieces in person!

This home was my favorite and it's seriously only because this amazing kitchen!!  This was the original GE kitchen set-up that was put into all of the homes when they were built!  Only three homes in the whole subdivision have kept theirs and we were super blessed to catch a peek at one!

love love love.
My mom and I had an amazing day together.
She deserves all of the amazingness that comes her way though.
I love you mom!
Happy Mother's Day.
Hope you are ready for part two today!!
