Mitten Moments

Happy Sunday and Happy Mother’s Day, friends! I hope you are having a fabulous day! We celebrated yesterday and today, I plan on doing a little flower and garden shopping. Before I leave to start my day, I want to take time to share my Mitten Moments with you!

My Personal Moments

  • Like I said earlier, we celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday, but we also celebrated my youngest son’s 26th birthday. What a joy he has been to our life! He is humble, accomplished, and and honestly, the all around good guy! He will always be my best Mother’s Day present!
  • Have you watched the movie Conclave? I recently watched it for the second time and really enjoyed it as much as the first time. If you’re looking for a well acted, engaging movie, I highly recommend giving it a watch!

  1. Kim, I am glad you had a wonderful Mother’s Day. I love sachets in my drawers and closet. It makes everything smell lovely. Guess it is a girl thing. I will have to watch the recommended movie. Adding it to my list of things to watch.

  2. Hi Kim! Thanks for mentioning my green enchiladas! I think I stopped by too soon and saw the wrong MM post. Sorry it’s taken me so long to stop by! I wish I could go thrifting with you. That looks like so much fun! Have a great start to summer!
