Oh Momma

Everybody's gotta Momma.
My Momma came to my house last week
to watch my kiddos while I had an appointment.

Not only did she watch my kids, but she
brought them presents and she brought ME presents.

She brought me this piece, 


I don't know what you call it, if you do..
please advise...but she knows I am trying
to decorate with lots of white and bright colors.  
Plus she brought me my favorite brand of candle with a clean scent
to cozy it up around here.

Lastly, she made me dinner with one of my favorite salads.


Brandon was gone to yet another sporting event, 
this time it was a hockey game.

It was such a friday night bliss event, I had to take a picture.
She made me her infamous "Crack" salad that is even featured in a 
local cookbook.  We call it "Crack" salad, because its  like
crack...you just can't stop eating it.  
Why is it when someone else cooks you something 
it tastes better?

Have you ever noticed that?

Do you guys have a salad you crave?
