MMM: Mother’s Day, Costa Rica Style

August 19, 2012 By Jelli 7 Comments

Welcome to {Monday Mom Musings} link-up! I’m so excited you came to join the fun. Moms supporting moms is what Monday Mom Musings is all about. This Wednesday was Mother’s Day here in Costa Rica. Mom’s Day is a pretty special event here. Workers get vacation days, schools are out….it’s a big deal. We celebrated with my husband’s family at a bbq with nearly every relative imaginable—mom or otherwise. We had a great day, and I took advantage of the lovely sunshine to “hire” the hubs as “papa-razzi” for some mama-baby pics. Here’s our day in summary.  Mothers Day 3

This week I’m welcoming Meredith from Mom of the Year as co-host for MMM. She’s been a loyal MMM participant and has herself a great blog, which I’ll let her tell you more about. Be sure to visit and leave her some creative, thoughtful comment lovin’!

The world of parenting can be such an overwhelming place!  As a SAHM of two busy little ones, I definitely don’t “have it all down” and never will, but I do regularly award myself with The Mom of the Year award for the astoundingly fantastic parenting skills I wield on a daily basis 😉  My hope is to offer up a quick, relatable laugh for fellow parents of the world, a less serious look at the world of parenting.  Thanks for checking in!

Now it’s your turn! Please join me and link up your {Monday Mom Musings}; anecdotes, game & activity ideas, gems of wisdom, crafts, recent triumphs, or anything else that you’ve learned or would like to share with us this week about parenting.
