Happy Mother's Day Erin!
There are so many different kinds of Mother's out there. Maybe one day my kid will have 2 legs instead of 4 lol. Actually... my bird only has 2 legs, but she doesn't count :P
Then you also have your no legged pets too!
That was beautiful Erin :)
Happy Mother's Day to you!
Oh yeah! Can't forget the snakes lol
Erin, that was beautiful! I wish you the happiest of Mother's Days!
Cxx
What a beautiful post Erin!
Happy Mother's Day to you :)
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!!!
Aww, thanks for recognizing moms of fur babies. :)
Wow Erin! Belated Happy Mothers Day to you. I have a 7 week old (man they grow up quick!), and I thought I had problems (he's mr.gassy + no poop for 3 days so I'm really crabby & then have huge blow out ... ) ... I certainly have not come through as many challenges as you have had to. This is amazing. Thank you so much for putting up this blog. You are amazing, and your baby is so beautiful :o).
