Thanks for stopping by this week’s Style Scouting, my Sunday roundup where I share the interesting and inspiring things I found online.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmas, aunts and mother-figures who give comfort and love. I wish I could spend today with my mother; she passed away years ago. To remember her fondly, I reread a post I wrote titled “My Momma Used To Say,” which always brings a smile.
Whatever you’re doing today, I hope you enjoy the day with your mom, children, family or friends.
