May is one of my favourite months (the other is October).  There is so much to look forward to. First, I get to start out with Mother's Day and some cute things from my kids. Next, I greatly enjoy having the flowers blooming,in particular the lilacs which  take me back to the days of childhood.  I lived right beside my grandparents on their ninety-eight acres(we lived on the other two acres of the 100).  Each spring I would go to the back of their home where they had MANY lilac bushes and I would pick big bunches for both our house and my Grandma's. It is also the month in which I celebrate being married to my wonderful husband Jeremy and I'm reminded of our honeymoon in Ireland.  What an adventure!  So much fun and I'm so glad we went since life is so busy and money is.....  Next, is the reminder of my father on his birthday (who will be turning 60 ).Last  but not least is having had the privelege of welcoming two children to our family this month.  Both were home births and great experiences overall. I am SO glad that I am NOT adding to that number this month as I am nowhere close to being ready. That joy is reserved for July (the birthday month of my other child)and yes I do know there are more than two months of the year to have children. I just happen to favour those two :)
