What did you do for Mother’s Day? I know it was a week ago, but I had such a wonderful first Mother’s Day, I can’t stop thinking about it.
There are a lot of things I like to do – hobbies I take on, like DIYing everything and interests I have, like blogging and decorating – that some people just don’t quite understand. I rarely force my interests and hobbies on others, including my husband. Prime example – flea markets! I think I’ve only asked my husband to go with me to the flea market twice in our history together. Both times he declined. It’s cool, I’d probably be miserable if he joined me. He’d be giving me death stares all too frequently as I touch ALL THE THINGS. Our marriage is better for it. He stays home to relax while I take a couple hours and touch other people’s garbage. It’s great!
It was my first Mother’s Day, and I think Antonio (my husband) knew it would be a special day for me. He gave me a choice between a) breakfast in bed or b) a family trip to the flea market. Well, first off, I never eat in bed, and as classic and delicious as that sounded, the way to my heart is through the flea market! We went fleaing together as a family of three. I swear, I’ve never had a better flea market day! I scored 3 killer rugs, and got to introduce my little family to all my favorite flea market vendors. Then, we grabbed a quick breakfast and shopped at my favorite cactus shop in Berkeley. As much as I love flowers, planting something in the back yard to commemorate this moment to me is much more meaningful. So, we bought two cacti to help us kick start our drought-tolerant backyard landscape.
I went to the flea market yesterday, and it just wasn’t the same without my family…
Enjoy the days of flea markets with your bebe while they last:) My toddler jumped out of her stroller the last time I took her to the flea, and I had to leave an amazing frame on the ground to catch her. By the time I got back, someone had quite literally snatched it up. #sadday
It does sound like the perfect day. Can’t believe you got three more rugs. Jealous! Oh and I don’t eat in bed either unless I have a killer hangover which hasn’t happened in years ;)
Awwww! What a perfect day indeed. I went to the flea as well on Mothers Day morning and had the best time. My kids are too old and opinionated to bribe them into going with me, and Naomi..well lets just say OUR marriage is better for it if she doesn’t tag along too. Happy 1st Mothers Day sweets.
thank you my dear!
