Mommy Moments: Mother's Day

Mother's Day has come and gone and it was no ordinary day as there were other exciting events going on in Stuttgart City on that day. As usual, we heard mass and then went around Schloßplatz afterwards. I blogged about the 125 Years of Automobile History some days ago and that's how we spent Mother's Day - strolling around at the park and looking at the exhibits. It may seem a very ordinary activity but it meant a lot to me as we are together as family and are enjoying each other's company.

The day before Mother's Day, we were invited to the birthday celebration of our friend's daughter. We had a barbeque party and had a lot of fun chatting and meeting our friend's friends. The children also enjoyed the party and with my daughter being the smallest one, she enjoyed the attention given her by her bigger girl friends. It was like a pre Mother's Day celebration for many of us mommies who were there and we all had a very nice time.

This coming Friday, May 27th, my daughter's kindergarten sent out invitations for a joint celebration of Mother's and Father'S Day. There will be a surprise waiting for us parents and I am looking forward to it. Perhaps the children prepared a short number or something like that. We have yet to find out.

As for me, it doesn't matter that I did not receive any material thing from my husband or daughter. Their presence in my life is what matters the most.
