Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :) This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We ...

I remember when my son was born, and my DD was 3. At that time, they wouldn't let kids come up to the maternity floor in the hospital. I went down to the end of the hall, and my DH held her up so she could see me in the window. I cried and cried, but at least she knew where her mommy was.
Thanks for the chance to win this beautiful pattern.

One that sticks out right now is when I brought my oldest into the NICU to see our youngest for the first time. His amazement looking in the incubator and saying "Oh, she's so tiny!" and tentatively reaching in to touch her hand is a great memory for me.
Great giveaway! Happy Mother's Day!

I think the moment that made me as a Mommy was that first moment I held Sarah. It was so precious to hold her in my arms I didn't want to have to let her go to the nurse for cleaning up. I was afraid I wouldn't get her back. :) Now she is 3 and I can't believe how fast she has grown. Caleb should be here within the next few weeks (due 6/7) and I am sure I will feel that all over again. I love being a mom!
Happy Mother's Day!
I've been thinking back to my first mothers day - 7 years ago. I remember I was given a rocking chair & how I loved rocking with my precious little boy (& then later his siblings).
I hope you have a very Happy Mothers Day with your gorgous family!

Blessings on you this Mother's Day, and I hope you are snuggling all six of your babies soon.
I have to say the favourite mother moments are deeper & more apprecaited as my 4 get older. I'm finding my eldest, 11, has her moments of moodiness but it's when we're out alone together or just at home, when she holds my hand & just says a completely unexpected "i love you" or asks me something meaningful & really wants my advice. I can assure you, life just gets better & better, love Posie
Your dresses are just as gorgeous as your daughters are! Thanks for doing this giveaway.
It's hard for me to pick just one Mom moment, because honestly I grew up with the best mom ever. No really I did. She was a true example of what every Mom should be. She loved us, cared for us, and most importantly pointed us to Christ leading by example. She was always there for me, and even now at 71, she still is. I could call her right now and say I need her, and she would be here in a flash, and be praying. Thanks Mom! I love you!
Hugs,

Sam, enjoy every moment of your beautiful family they grow so quickly. Love your dresses. You are amazing.
One that stands out the most happened just yesterday though. My 25 month old son came running into me saying "I lub you mummy" this is the first time he has said it so it brought tears to my eyes. For the rest of my life I will never forget that moment.
favorite mama moment: gosh, so many. i guess it was the first 8 weeks when we co-slept before transitioned into her crib. i loved waking up with her next to me sleeping.
Your children with their rubber boots remind me of my daughter wore her pink boots all the time (when it was not a fashionable statement).
My favorite memory with my Mom is when she would let my brother and I play beauty shop with her mega curly hair! My daughter inherited my Mom's curly hair. We continue to play beauty shop, but now with my daughter.

Thanks for your generous offer. I hope you have your own awesome, blessed Mother's Day!
One of my favourite moments is going in to my daughters room to check on her before we go to sleep. To see her lying there fast asleep, perfect and so at peace, this gives me such joy to know that she is all mine, and I am a mom. Such a WOW moment every time!! God is so good!!

Today marks 15 years since the last time I talked to her. She was doped up on pain meds as she died from cancer and died the Wednesday after Mother's Day. Gosh, I miss her.

My oldest lost her first 2 teeth (She is so excited) and my youngest started to smile for the first time. Life is good!
;) So it was a great day to be a mama, as well as a daughter.

How do you pick a favorite mama moment....let's see...
I suppose a very recent favorite moment was when we told our 3 kids that we're expecting a 4th - the ecstacy ran high and the joy was overflowing. The sweetest part of all was that it is a true gift from God - we desparately wanted this baby but had not felt it was the right 'time' and did not know if that time would ever come. Obviously, the Lord thought differently, and I am so grateful.

When I was little my mother always hung clothes out to dry (weather permitting). At a very young age I started helping her. Back then they didn't have the hangers that went on you clothes line to hold the pins. So mom had an old bucket that ice cream came in once that she used. I would hold that bucket for her and hand her the pins. We would talk about everthing and she taught me how to hang up clothes. Now I hang my laundry out and every time I do I think of those moments with my mom.
My own special moment has to be at the end of everyday. I tuck my little ones in and read and sing to them, we say our prays and then they hug me, real big around the neck, kiss me and we say goodnight and I love you. No matter what happens in the day, it is this moment when they are just my little man or girl and nothing else matters.

My four year old son, popped out of his bedroom, stepped infront of me as I was walking thru the hall and said "It's okay Mama, I know how you feel. Sometimes I feel sad too. But it's okay because I love you." Oh my heart, I couldn't help but smile and cry some more.
It's so good to be loved by my loves.
