Last night Miss L. and I ran to the grocery store at the last minute before dinner. I made a quick decision to grab her dress and headband off of the hook by the door as we were leaving. I figured I might be able to get a few sweet pictures of her among the gorgeous redbud trees that are blooming everywhere. She was in a very questionable mood, had no nap, and was being more than a bit sassy in the store, but I was determined to try. I'm so glad I did. You know, being a mom is the hardest ...

Also, I'm a mother. So this day dedicated to celebrating us shouldn't be such a sneak attack every year. This year I'm prepared. Over the weekend, (two weeks before Mother's Day!)
