Mother's Day

On the way to Austen's soccer game. Check out Hailey!

Mother's Day for me started on Friday. Every year for the past couple, a group of women (moms of a few 4th graders) in my town get together to tour the Hinsdale Historical Society's Kitchen Walk. We start out at 9am for a little pre-party breakfast at one of our friend's houses and then jump in our cars to tour these fabulous kitchens. We round out the tour with a fun lunch. This year, the weather was perfect and it was nice to sit outside and catch up with friends, and not have to worry about picking up a kid at school or rushing off to some practice. Us moms just enjoyed our time together without our kids.

My day didn't end there though, that night I met up with my mom for our annual spa evening topped off by dinner. This is a tradition we started several years ago and have continued as we can never tell what Mother's Day will bring with the many games and practices.

On Mother's Day, Austen did in fact end up having one soccer game at a field close to Grandma Lou's house so she stopped by to watch him play. And, it was a perfect day to watch soccer! After the game, home we went to get some things done and then Austen was off to a baseball practice. It was the perfect low key Mother's Day started off by a great Friday with some special moms!

Being silly! Happy Mother's Day!
