Oh Heyyy! I hope everyone had an amazing Mother's Day. Mine was awesome. Actually my whole weekend was pretty awesome.

Saturday we woke up super early to do The Color Run in Ft. Lauderdale. It was our first 5K and it was so fun. I did it with my cousins and my younger cousins friends as well as Bran and Ace. We got there super late, like almost the last ones to start late.

If you are going to do a 5K this is the one to do. It just revolves around fun and who doesn't love that?

My sister watched the girls so we were able to go home right after and shower off before picking them up. Let me tell you something, it is not easy getting off the color. We were stained in some spots and I had pink in my ears, even today.

We went to my sister's house after and Bran and Ace went in the pool and I hung out pool side with the girls. It was too cold for me and them so I was cool with that.

Nothing too excited after that. Sunday, Mother's Day, we had the girls dedicated at church. Everly was the youngest baby so our Pastor held her and it was so cute, she didn't even cry, which was a shocker since she likes to cry, ha!

Both girls were so great the entire time. Church service was probably my favorite one yet. At the end our Pastor Pete's daughter Sophie sang a Taylor Swift song for her Mom and I just cried the entire time. There is another Taylor Swift song that always reminded me of my Mom and so when I saw on the screen the name and who it was by it just made me think of her. This girl has the most beautiful voice too. After church we got food to go from California Pizza Kitchen and headed home for the kids naps.

After that I was able to lay out in the backyard while Bran held Everly and the other two napped. So relaxing! After they all got up my sister came over and we met up with my cousins at Menchies and had Fro-yo. We headed home and my sister and I went to Target and got some things. It was a pretty great Mother's Day. The only way it could have been better is if my parents were there. How was your Mother's Day?

I saw Emily over at Live a Charmed Life do this and thought it was a cute idea.
I am…Brenna. A wife and stay at home mom to 3 beautiful children, blogger, and wanna be social worker.

I want…to be able to juggle being a Mom of 3 better. Sometimes I feel like I am missing out on things with my older two.

I have…the most incredible husband husband. He helps me so much with our children, cleans, cooks and can fix anything. I am so blessed.

I wish...I had a better milk supply for Everly. Breastfeeding has been a struggle.

I hate…that Everly has a sensitive stomach like Ace. You can tell when it bothers her and I just hate seeing her uncomfortable.

I fear…not living fully. I always want to embrace life and be positive and a good person. I am not always successful at it but I do try.

I hear…sports on the TV, Ace talking to Branden and him scooting a chair.

I search…for ways to up my milk supply, ha!

I wonder...what my kids will be when they get older, what kind of relationship they will all have and what kind of fun Branden and I will be getting into when we are empty nesters!

I regret…somethings about my Mom's death. It's too hard to explain but I tried my best to always be honest with her and I was there every day with her when she was in the hospital and dying but there is one regret I have about it all.
I love…Branden, Ace, Ashlyn, Everly, and our life together. I also love my family and friends. I really do have incredible relationships with people and they have become so much stronger since my parents passed away and having my girls.

I ache…for one more day with each of my parents. Just to say a few more things to them.

I always…look forward to some alone time to clear my head and destress at the end of the day.

I usually…take a bath to relax and read gossip magazines.

I am not…the best at being a housewife, I think my husband would be way better at it. Sure I am good with the kids be he takes the cake when it comes to household chores, keeping up with the outside and cooking.

I dance…like a true white girl but I love it.

I sing…like a hot mess, especially when my husband is in the car and I turn on music he does not want to listen to.

I never…want to have regrets with my children.

I sometimes…drive with the windows down, AC up, music way up and a little bit fast when I need to get out of the house alone.

I am not always…the best Mom. I get overwhelmed, stressed and frustrated but I try my best.

I lose...my phone all.the.time. No one ever expects me to have it near me.

I am confused…a lot.

I need…for Everly to grow out of this colicky phase. It sucks and I hate seeing her miserable.

I should…go get some fro-yo with Ace tonight!
