The Daily Hailey

Today, I decided that “Happy Mothers Day” isn’t so much a greeting or a well-wish, as it is the title for the day. My mom and I are both happy mothers, so it was only reasonable to spend the day together 🙂 We blew off church, our husbands, my kids, and our responsibilities, and had a FABULOUS day, just the two of us.

First, I made fun of my mom for wanting to take a selfie with her massive DSLR camera. She was offended.

But not really. We still love each other.

We shopped our first store with GREAT success, finding my mom her ideal pair of jeans. They had them in the wrong color, but the promise of them being held in another location made it a wonderful way to spend our first hour-ish. Also, we bought matching hats, but I’ll show you those in a bit.

We had lunch next. I’ll tell you right now, there is no way to take a picture of a person eating a corn dog that isn’t both filthy and hysterical.

Yup, we knew it was bad as we were taking it.

We shopped a bit right downtown after lunch, and had a bit of success, but nothing too crazy. I did get my first shot at Victoria’s Secret since its come to the city, and I have to say a big WOW to their quality as compared to La Senza. I bought the most beautiful, well-fitted bra I’ve ever owned. Big win there! But we were way more eager to get back to the other Reitmans location to grab her those jeans, so we didn’t doddle too much.

After successfully purchasing the treasured jeans, we hit up Value Village. I’m not sure whether my mom wanted to actually shop, or just watch me do it! It was kind of funny, but we had a great time. We each bought a handful of things, and then headed to Tony Romas for supper.

We love riblings. I could eat them on a regular basis, but then I wouldn’t be able to afford shopping, so I guess going once in while will have to do. We ate our body weight in ribs and shrimp, and then walked it off in Walmart. I bought concealer and underwear with pineapples on it, because I’m cool like that.

After taking one last selfie, we drove home to our husbands. I think we’ll both sleep very well tonight. We ran around a lot today, but my feet and legs are SO happy to be a bit sore. There couldn’t have been a better way to spend today than with my mom.
