Moms are awesome

I guess I sounded pretty frazzled when I was talking to my mom last week. Between having a kid who doesn't like to sleep and all the projects I'm working on, I haven't been getting very much sleep lately. And I guess it was starting to show!

So she sent me this beautiful flower arrangement on Monday. She also sent a giraffe and some balloons and a little baggie of candy for Lachlan. (I, of course, inhaled the candy. Almond Joy, my favorite!)



This was just the little ray of sunshine I needed to pep me up and keep me going. I love all the flowers in the arrangement, especially these purple ones. But I can't for the life of me think of what they're called. Does anyone know?



Thanks, mom. You're the BEST! :D

    What a nice mom! Gee, the petal edges look rippled and similar to carnations, but otherwise they're quite different. Even though Lachlan isn't sleeping very much, I hope he's all smiles while he's awake.

    That is gorgeous bouquet. Mom knows best! That is double Lisianthus which last twice as long as roses in the vase.

    Yes! Lisianthus! I thought it started with an L but couldn't think of it.

    Ann: I tell people that Lachlan is a fabulous baby 99% of the time. But man, oh man. You'd better watch out for that 1%! Ha!

    Well, we can't blame him for asserting himself at least a tiny bit. :) Sounds like you've got a very good one!
