Happy Mother's Day to the best momma in the world. I guess everybody thinks they have the most amazing mother and it is probably true. Mother's are incrediable and to take on a role like is a sacrifice. I feel blessed to have been raised by a loving and dedicated one. Truly, my mom is notrious for being super mom. She did it all. Momma Thatch, as we like to call her around the Thatcher house, packed lunches for us kids all through highschool with gourmet sandwiches and fresh cut up fruit everyday. She has been primary president, young women's president and was there with me through all my young women outings and pioneer treks.
My mom will seriously do anything for her children and it has been aparhent all my life. She would run over our forgotten homework to school, drive us to all of our dance and piano lessons and was there at all of our games and performances. She is my support system. The thing I value most about how my mother raised me, was that she let me be me. She has always been there to advise and help guide her children on the right path but allows us to make our own decisions. I guess the best way to put it, is that she let us and continues to let us self discover. I respect her for that.
Our family spent Mother's Day this year in NYC, minus my brother James and my sister Jen who is currently serving her mission in Carlsbad, California. We began the day with breakfast at Starbucks and then headed over to church at my new singles ward in Harlem.
After church we ate at my new favorite lunch spot in Lincoln Center, Le Pain Quotidien. I am a fan of this organic resturaunt and I ordered their Turkey Avacado Tartine. A Tartine is an open face sandwich, a must try especially at this cafe.
