| I WANT MY MOMMY! |
 |
How many times have we all heard this refrain
when trying to drop kids off at school, with
babysitters for a night of freedom, or when the little
ones just need a little extra attention? It can dig
into your head and heart quicker than any other four
words, can make you run out the door in
tears or
in frustration, or bring you back into the room for one
more snuggle, but mostly, it makes me want to
shout..."I want my mommy too!" I still want my
mom to say it'll be all right, that she loves me, and
that I am doing a great job...and I hope like crazy
that my children will still want that when they are my
age. If I could still fit in my mom's lap, I'd curl up
and move in for a month.
So, this weekend, whether
you have the best mother's day or not, remember, "I
want my mommy" means I love you...forever.
Enjoy your day!

Someone actually forwarded this to me in a
chain email letter, which I generally despise, but for
some reason, this one wrenched my heart a bit and
so I thought I'd share it with you on this, the
sappiest
of holidays.
"This is for the mothers who have sat up all night
with sick toddlers in their arms, wiping up throw-up
laced
with hotdogs and cherry Kool-Aid
saying, "It's okay honey, Mommy's here." Who have
sat in rocking chairs for hours on
end soothing crying babies who can't be comforted.
This is for all the mothers who show up at work with
spit-up in their hair and milk stains on their
blouses and diapers in their purse. For all the
mothers who run carpools and
make cookies and sew Halloween costumes. And all
the mothers who DON'T.
This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies
they'll never see. And the mothers who took those
babies and gave them homes...

| Olive Juice event...Coming soon...! |
|
Olive Juice came into existence in the Fall of
2003.
The company started
with a life-long dream to create a line of children's
clothing that was
classic, well constructed and appropriate for both
swingsets and Saturday
afternoon weddings. We are a small, family-run
business. We believe
small, family-run businesses
deserve a place in the sun as much as the big guys.
Most of all, we believe
in kids and in the power of telling children "I love
you", or "Olive Juice".

Daisy Hill Farm Stand |
|
|
|
The boys have been watching and waiting, and
finally...Daisy Hill Farm Stand is opening this
weekend-- thus officially beginning of the spring
season.
Run by
a local mom, Gwenn Brant, Daisy Hill offers great
local produce from
the farm, including fresh eggs, vegetables, flowers,
baked goods, and much more. After a successful
first season, Gwen has renovated Daisy Hill and
brought in a new walk in refrigerator in order to meet
the demands of her ever growing client base.
Although the produce is spectacular, our real
love is being part of what was once a part of every
child's day in the country...a visit to a neighbor for
farm fresh foods, interesting happenings, a place to
gather gossip, meet friends, and occasionally find a
little duckling, dog, or chicken running about to play
with.
Stop by this weekend and every
weekend throughout the summer on Fridays from
9am - 6pm, Saturdays from 9am-5pm, and Sundays
from 9am-3pm. Daisy Hill Farm Stand is located on
Guard
Hill Road between Darlington and West Patent Roads
in Bedford, NY.
