Sponsored partnership with Lands’ End.
Being a mom to William, Alexander, Benjamin, Henry and Victoria is the greatest blessing in the world to me. They are my heart. They are my inspiration. They are my motivation for everything I do. They are my wings. They are – simply put – my world.
I’ve said to before and I’ll say it to the end of time… I always wanted to be a mother. I remember being a little girl and lining all my baby dolls up on the stairs, naming each and every one of them. I would tell my mom and dad that someday I was going to have 10 kids! OK, I didn’t have 10, but I think 5 is a pretty big brood! Throughout my entire life, being a mom… it’s all I’ve ever wanted to be. I even created a career for myself out of being a mom. For me – it’s just everything and beyond.
I was honored when Lands’ End asked me to be part of their special #DearMom video campaign. Not only is Lands’ End a brand that I love and user regularly, but I adore the #DearMom campaign because it’s a wonderful way to celebrate and honors the moms in our lives. Motherhood is an adventure and a journey… and it’s different for each mom. I was just so touched that Lands’ End thought of me to be showcased in their #DearMom video. Believe me, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house with the ladies who filmed! I kept asking if the mascara was waterproof!
Check out this wonderful and beautiful video celebrating motherhood, featuring special guest and mom of 7(!) Joan Lunden…
Pretty amazing, right? I love how our children are the anchor for all of us. They are our reason for being.
It’s a beautiful thing.
Lands’ End is giving YOU the chance to celebrate and honor your mom this Mother’s Day, too with their #DearMom campaign.

I know I would love to win one of these for my mom! My mom is my anchor and is my hero.
She is the ONE who made me want to be a mom. She is the ONE who I emulate as a mom. She is the ONE who made motherhood look easy, even when I (now know) it wasn’t always a cakewalk! Simply out… my mom has just always been there with love, happiness, acceptance and support. That’s all a child wants. Truly… my mom is my hero. She always has been and always will be. ♥
Lands’ End is also featuring a beautiful and meaningful way to give back this Mother’s Day. This warms my heart and is something that I think is just extraordinary. This Mother’s Day, give mom a gift that gives back to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). From now through May 14, 2017, add a select Mother’s Day or Pink Ribbon Embroidery to a Lands’ End item from totes to towels and the company will donate $4.50 of the $6.00 embroidery fee to BCRF to further support the organization’s mission to be the end of breast cancer by advancing the world’s most promising research.

Being a mother is one of the greatest gifts in the world.
I’m going to end this post advice that my mother gave me when I first became a mom and it’s ALWAYS stuck with me.
Embrace the ordinary moments of life with your kids.
Those Tuesday afternoons of doing homework on the counter.
Those carpool drives to the swimming pool or baseball field.
Those morning walks to the bus stop.
Those Saturday morning pancakes.
Embrace THOSE moments.
THOSE moments will be the ones you will always hold tight onto.
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the moms out there.
May you be loved, showered and honored by the ones you love on Mother’s Day.
This is beautiful. I adore your relationship with your Mom as well as your relationship with your kids. Wishing you a happy Mother’s Day all year long.
