Sunday Funday: May 11/14 | Mother's Day

 Hi there! Okay, so I’m sorry first of all for not posting on Friday. Something just came up and made it kind of impossible to make the time to post, and for that, I’m just sorry. Unlike before, I will make it up to you guys and post an extra day this week, probably Thursday or Saturday.

Anyway, lots happened this week and it was a pretty good week, I’d say. Not that many exciting things happened during the week like school-wise (it was mostly my weekend that made me very happy) other than how in Business we started working on our website. Judging from how I’m a blogger, it was a pretty exciting thing for me. We were supposed to use Google Sites first, but after fiddling around with it, I just got fed up with it because it feels like the things you can do with it are so limited and the site just looked ugly no matter what I did to it, so I just ditched that program and managed to convince my teacher to let me use Wix, which is so much better and cleaner, and it’s super easy to use, too.

All in all, I am very happy with that class right now, and just school in general, honestly. It makes me really sad to think about people who just hate school (which is the majority of people) because it’s something that I really, really enjoy and I wish I could spread that joy to everyone, you know?

I Love You, Momma.

Dear Mom,

Today is Mother's Day (as you probably already know) and though every day should be Mother's Day, I feel like this Sunday every year is a time to appreciate you a bit more.

I'm always at a loss for words when I decide to write letters.  It's usually I either ramble a lot, or barely write anything at all.  It'll be interesting to see how this one turns out.

I might as well start with Happy Mother's Day.  So Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!  Thank you for always being there for me when I needed you and everything I've learned I owe to you.  You were my first teacher, my best teacher and I love you so much for that.  

I know that I we don't always get along, but I think that we do a little bit more than some people.  My favourite times are the time spent in the car, driving to our favourite strip mall, promising ourselves to window shop.  We were actually terrible at keeping those promises, but I loved those moments.

The words "I love you" have always felt very foreign when I try to say them.  Like with my friends, I've always thought that those words should only be reserved for someone really special and throwing them around was a crime of some sort.  I've never said this to you, but I love you, Momma, I love you so much and I'm so lucky to still have you here.  You're the best.

Thank you so much for everything you do for me and I love you.  Again.

- J

Mother's Day Card Tutorial

 

Today, I'm going to be doing something a little different.  If you read my Mother's Day Gift Guide, you'll know that one of my gift suggestions was making your mom or loved one a card.  To me, a handmade card is such a personal and thoughtful gift, so today, I'm going to show you how I made the one I'm giving my mom (pictured above) from the May 2011 copy of CardMaker magazine, designed by Elizabeth Allan.

What to Where: Mother's Day

Before you start to think that I have horrible grammar,  I did in fact mean to write "where" instead of the typical "wear."  "Where" is simply a synonym for the occasion and "what" is what to wear.  There will usually be three outfit ideas (sometimes more, sometimes less) and occasionally, some tips.  You'll be seeing these posts pop up here and there when a special occasion comes about, in today's case, Mother's Day.
