(English)
I hope that all of you mothers out there have had a wonderful day yesterday. I used to dislike this day because like many other celebrations I thought they were another retail excuse to make us buy and consume more stuff...but somewhere along the way , between the corner of hugs and crafts I learned to really like it. Yes, I love traditions and for a few years now our tradition is to make breakfast in bed for mommy.Yesterday's breakfast was nothing but luxurious. Home made waffles with home made blueberry and strawberry jelly with whipped cream on top and a poached egg over toast. I ate and enjoyed every bite. I wasn't hungry for the rest of the day.
Nelson took the girls to the library as Belen had to do some research for a project on Michelle Obama. That gave me time to scape to the arboretum and go for a walk. The sun had came out after more than a week of rain non stop. I was happy to be outside in nature. It always helps me to feel grounded and peaceful.
I am so thankful for this day, and my two little monkeys at home who give me so much love. Days like this make every effort and tear every exhausting day worth the pain.
Wishing every mom many more mother's day to live through. My love to all of you friends, cousins ,aunts, sisters in law and specially to my Maru. I love you mom, I am thinking of you always.

Espero que todas hayan tenido un feliz dia de las madres ayer. Antes me cargaba este dia porque como muchas otras celebraciones me parecia una excusa mas del comercio para hacernos comprar y consumir cosas. ... pero en alguna parte entre las calles abrazos y manualidades cambie de parecer y debo confesar que ahora me encanta. Si, amo las tradiciones y en nuestra casa ya desde hace algunos anios es tradicion servirle desayuno a esta mama en la cama. El desayuno de ayer fue de lujo , waffles y mermelada de frutillas y arandanos con crema hechos en casa y tostadas de huevo pasado por agua. Me comi y disfrute hasta el ultimo pedazo. No comi nada mas durante el dia. Nelson llevo a las ninas a la biblioteca porque Belen tiene que hacer una presentacion sobre Michelle Obama, lo que me dio la oportunidad de escapar al arboletum a caminar. Estaba feliz de esta afuera en la naturaleza. Siempre me ayuda a sentirme en paz y equilibrio.
Estoy tan agradecida por este dia y todo lo que representa. Mis dos monas me dan tanto amor. Dias como este hacen que cada esfuerzo , lagrima derramada y dias agotadores vividos valgan la pena.
Deseandole a cada mama muchos dias mas como este para disfrutar. Carinos a todas las mamas de mi vida, amigas y primas, tias, cunadas y especialmente a mi Maru. Te quiero mamita estoy pensando en ti siempre.
