Mother's Day 2016

5/8/2016

Welcome back to Taylor Talks!

​Happy Mother's Day! I hope that all of the awesome moms out there had a wonderful day today!
We had a great day, even though we didn't do anything big deal. It was a beautiful day for swimming, and my mom got a nice break because my dad watched over the kids. She even got treated to some time getting manicures and pedicures when we went out for a while, which was awesome.

Since my mom's gifts this year were projects and working around the house instead of tangible gifts, we continued to help out around the house today as well. My sister and I helped cook dinner (roast beef and mashed potatoes... yum!) and I think we even managed to keep the house clean today!

My little sisters made adorable cards for my mom, and were so proud of themselves when they gave them to her. My sisters are in the midst of learning how to spell, write, and read, so they now sound out words themselves when making cards for people. Alright, so it may have been, "Hape Muthrs Day," but you could still figure out exactly what they were trying to say. Plus, they drew beautiful pictures and decorated the cards all by themselves, and I know that my mom appreciated that much more than a store-bought gift.

We even ended the night by starting preparations for my mom's birthday tomorrow... I let the girls help me bake a cake so that we could "surprise" my mom tomorrow. Of course, we had only washed our hands and not yet mixed ingredients when the girls were already whispering to my mom about the surprise cake, but this is why actual secrets are never told to six-year-olds! Still, I'm pretty sure the kids are more excited about cake than my mom will be anyway, so as long as they're happy, the rest of us are happy.

To all of the bio moms, foster moms, adoptive moms, step-moms, Godmothers, grandmothers, and anyone else whom I've missed, I hope you all had a great Mother's Day today. I'm so lucky to have been able to spend the day with my mom, because I know that a lot of people can't be home with their moms on days like today. It takes a very special lady to be called "Mommy" and my mom is top notch. I don't know anyone else who has raised twenty children, fostered, adopted, dealt with special needs, and dealt with cranky teenagers/whiny children/adult children who don't want to grow up, and still manages to far surpass anyone's expectations of what a mom should be.

Thanks for all that you do, Mom! We love you!

Your continued support means the world to me. From foster care to novels, and family to work experiences, I look forward to sharing more of my life with you each day. Don't hesitate to share your own stories with me or ask me questions about my life. Please don't forget to like and share my Facebook author page as well!

I’d greatly appreciate it if you would share this blog with friends and family through your favorite social media sites. If you’re sharing on Twitter, don’t forget to tag me (@TayTayK02) and use the hashtag #TaylorTalks.

Thanks!
Taylor

    Picture
    My family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.

    I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life.

    I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day.


    I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing!
