I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
Hayley made this present for me at school.
In case you can’t read it, it says (bold are her words)…
I love you the Orangest
I love you the color of a orange carrot
The sound of the flower blowing
The feeling of the sun warming your heart
I love you like having puppies
The warmth of the sun shining
The way we plant pretty flowers
And the way you love me
I love you the Orangest.
I’m thinking she might have a future in card writing. Do you think Hallmark will work an 8 year old?
Also, I got an email last week from The Fairy Hobmother who is giving me $75 to Amazon (hello drink supplies, I mean homeschooling books).
It always surprises me when people do nice things for strangers. According to the Fairy Hobmother, if you leave a comment on this post you might get a surprise email too. Isn’t that nice?
To help everyone recover from Mother’s Day we’ve got a Raspberry Lemon Drop Martini recipe over at One Martini with fresh raspberries and fresh lemon juice.
And…if you want to smile check out my post from last week with Siri’s words of wisdom and Layla’s foul language.

I do believe Hayley as a future as a card writer. ‘Having puppies’ made me giggle.

You can split that 75 bucks down the middle for ALL your supplies needed… you know, fair is fair.
Happy Mother’s Day!!

I love you the orangest too.
And don’t kid yourself, that’s going right to martini supplies.

Her card is so sweet! I love to read the things that kids write
Erin recently posted..Happy Mother’s Day!
Kids are funny sometimes when they make homemade cards.
The orangest eh? Like as in Snooki orange?
I’m kidding…this was a beautiful letter to you. Happy Mothers day xoxo
Ps. The Hobmother is an amazing thing to happen eh?

Ha! I hope not like Snooki.

Oh YOU!!!!! Your daughter really loves Orange, which is very cool since she loves YOU as much. I think it’s amazing that the Fairy Hobmother came to visit you, what a perfect way to celebrate such a special day. Can’t wait to see what drink you get to make with the moola! She knows how cool you are and your wordy daughter does too. Love u xoxoxo

Thank you Kir! I’ve never heard my daughter say before that she loves orange but based on this note I’d say she does.

Aw, that is so sweat. ‘The sun warming my heart??’ Wow, that’s good stuff!
Mirjam recently posted..Rain
That’s a good line. The sun always warms my heart.
Having puppies. Oh my gosh, I almost broke my recliner I was laughing so hard.
Julie recently posted..A gocky by any other name
Ha! Be careful there lady.
Maybe the orangest refers to your golden tan? So cute, and puppies are love, so that totally makes sense! I would love a visit from the Fairy Hobmother, I’d spend it on baking supplies, or books.

My golden tan hasn’t happened yet for this year but I’m sure it will soon now that the weather is warming up.

Aww that is so sweet and cute! I love when kids fill in the blanks on things like that. It’s always amazing what words they use. Bridge made me a card at school that has a secret message if you fold it the right way. I still cannot manage to fold it properly without her help.
Paulette recently posted..30 Topics ~ Almost 10 Influencers
That’s cute that it’s got a secret message. Maybe she should write down directions for you on how to fold it.

I absolutely LOVE it! And, see, she does love planting pretty flowers! Especially if you do most of the work
Sharon {Grumpy, Sleepy, and Bashful} recently posted..Celebrating My Mom
Ha! Yeah, she does love the pretty flowers because it’s easy for her.

I love all her references to the sun…especially – “The feeling of the sun warming your heart.”
That’s fabulous and we all know exactly what she meant.
It is a great feeling.
Orange is a pretty awesome colour. And puppies! What can be better than puppies, I ask? Great card, Haley!
Nicole recently posted..A Whirlwind of Boring Activity
Orange puppies would be awesome!
What a wonderful Mother’s Day gift! Congrats on your “supply” money! Have fun shopping!
JDaniel4′s Mom recently posted..Muffin Tin Monday- Mama Duck’s Nesting
Thanks! I love shopping.
Yes, yes, I do think Hayley has a future in card writing. I love you the orangest is so original!
Congratulations on the $75 dollars. That’s awesome!
Definitely original. Maybe Hallmark will offer her a summer job.

I have heard of the Fairy HobMother a few times now. So great that you got a visit!!! And I love the sweet poem… my kids wrote me some cute notes for Mother’s Day as well. Love it.

The handwritten notes are the best!
Awww, orange you lucky? Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.

That’s a really creative poem you got from Hayley. I say she could rock Hallmark easy! ( Love the way you spell her name, by the way.)

Awesome! Clearly orange is her favorite color!? Or do you need a tanning bed intervention?
Amy ~ Eat. Live. Laugh. Shop. recently posted..Memories Captured.
Maybe I need to start going to the tanning bed.
“I love you the orangest.”
I mean – are you ever going to look at the color orange and not think of your child again? So adorable.

I will never think of orange the same.

Best card ever! Can’t wait for these kind of little gems from my gals. And since orange has always been my favorite color, her loving you the orangest must be the highest compliment ever

Orange is a great color.
Yay for Mother’s Day, Hallmark and Fairy Hob Mothers too.

I love what some schools do for Mother’s Day – and this one was adorable. As was the sentiment – I love you the Orangest . . . love it!
Missy | Literal Mom recently posted..May Memories Captured – Silly Days
It’s one of the best I’ve received from her so far.
So amazingly awesome. Having puppies? I’m thinking that would be like having a baby. Times 8. Kind of a physical hell. But the sentiment is awesome.
Natalie @MamaTrack recently posted..Sensations of Motherhood
Ha! That’s what I was thinking too.
I think she should get a job as a card writer. “I love you the Orangest” is awesome.
Roxanne recently posted..Momcomm Blog Critique
I hope they hire young kids.
Aw, Jess…I love you the orangest…so sweet! Orange is a really happy color
Also, that’s awesome about the gift card!

It is a happy color and now I’ll always think of my kid when I see it.
