One of my favorite things about being a mom is looking back at old photos and realizing just how fast the years have flown by. In one picture, my two kids are little and full of childhood wonder… and in the other, taken last Christmas, they’re grown with families of their own. Somehow, in the blink of an eye, life moved from bedtime stories and school events to grandchildren, family traditions, and making new memories together.

I feel incredibly blessed that both of my children live here in Austin and are raising their families nearby. Being able to watch my grandchildren grow, celebrate milestones together, and simply share everyday moments is a gift I never take for granted. Being a Nana is one of life’s sweetest gifts.
This Mother’s Day, I’m especially thankful for the amazing moms, grandmothers, and bonus moms who pour so much love into the people around them. The strength, patience, laughter, and unconditional love that mothers give help shape families and create the memories we treasure most.
As the saying goes from an unknown author:
"To the world, you are a mother, but to your family, you are the world."
Here’s to celebrating motherhood, family, connection, and taking time to slow down and enjoy the beautiful ride of life.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas, and bonus moms out there!
