I love May because of Mother’s Day. After going through a divorce, and becoming a single parent, I decided to reclaim Mother’s Day. My daughter and I chose to use this day as a celebration of our lives together. We always plan a weekend get away with lots of girl time. This started when she was 7, and now she is a teenager, and we still look forward to our Mother’s Day trip every year. 🙂
Bike rides, blossoms, bubbles, and babies (birdies and bunnies)! Thanks for the opportunity to win one of those lovely canvases.
I love the month of May…so many beautiful sights and sounds. I can also see our family vacation just around the corner. 🙂
Everything turns green, flowers start blooming with color! So, my favorite thing about May is all the color returns to my outside world!!!
I like the month of May because it is when you enjoy nature the most. Butterflies, buzzing bees and chirping birds. Also beautiful blooms coming out, wonderful fragrances of various plants and bushes too that fill the air. Sitting on a porch with a cold drnk and enjoying the sounds all around you. I also enjoy the month of May for entertaining outside with friends family before it gets too warm and humid!
I love it when my daughter gets out of school in May so that we can have the whole summer together! 🙂
One of the things I love the most about May in Vermont is the light green, almost chartreuse leaves appearing on the trees. The hillsides actually glow! Love it!
I love May because of Mother’s Day. I waited 14 years to become a mother (by adopting my 2 daughters), so Mother’s Day is always special. Every day being a mother is special but Mother’s Day is one of the very best days!
My very favorite thing about the month of may is our anniversary which will be 39 years this year!!
Spring & Warm Weather & now my anniversary!
Planting flowers, veggies and swinging on my porch swing.
The May-Flowers of course! And the opportunity to let the kiddos play outside til dark after school:)
May …. my favorite thing about May would have to be it’s the month our son was born …. he was our chubby, cuddly, baby boy who has become a tall, lanky, caring teenager … hard to believe that day in May was almost 14 yrs ago.
I love May because my daughter and my birthday are in May! Plus I love seeing all my flowers start popping up through the ground.
May is my birthday month and it became even better when it also became my daughter’s birth month….and it’s the month of flowers, warm sunny days, parades, and more parking places at the college where I work when the kids (and faculty) take off for the summer!
I think of the song from “Camelot” – the merry month of May!
I love May for the anticipation of summer & the nice warm weather…although in Houston the humidity just might get to me!
My son and his son were both born in May!
Im due with our second child this month. We can’t wait to meet him or her!
I love that May is when the cherry blossoms fall. They look lovely on the trees, but my favorite is when they start to fall and you walk down the street in what feels like pink petal rain from above.
my favorite thing about may is the sweet little birds God created waiting patiently for the arrival of their little family
Tulips, sunshine, and strawberry cake!
It’s the month of my husband’s and my anniversary! One year to celebrate, we went to Paris! The next year, just a simple dinner at home. Regardless of what we do, it’s always fun celebrating the life we’ve built together! Love him!
My favorite thing about May is trips to the beach (Panama City Beach, FL) with our children! They love the waves and the sand and we like to just hang out with no responsibilities whatsoever. 🙂
Love the flowers!
My favorite thing about May is the longer days, trees and flowers blooming and then end of school!!!
Flowers!!:)
My favorite thing about May is hiking when the mountain laurels are in bloom.
May is a very special month for our family. My Dad’s birthday, my grandmothers birthday and my birthday are all in this month, along with Mother’s Day (of course) and mine and my husbands anniversary. This year will mark 5 years of our vow and commitment to each other <3
I love the flowers of May! And, getting out to play in the garden.
love all the blooming trees and flowers and the warmer weather
My first child was born in May.
I love May because the sun shines more often, my boys will both be out of school soon and a few lazy days at thebeach are just around the corner!
The weather has finally begun to turn and we can be outside again!
May is great, the New Mexican spring wind finally dies down a bit so that we can all enjoy the not-so-hot weather of spring.
May makes me feel energized and renewed.
I love the flowers in May and warmer weather. 🙂
May is such a good month! My best friend’s bday is today! And my son’s is the 11th and baby #3 is due any time now in May!!! And spring is my favorite season! Yay! Love the green “Morning by morning…” verse!
I love May because it is pre-summer or late spring, whichever is more accurate….I have no idea. But, I LOVE summer, and May signifies that summer is just around the bend!
What’s NOT to love about May??!!!: ) Except maybe all the sneezing and nose blowing..Unfortunately I cannot open any windows until summer, but I love all of the flowers and new leaves on all the trees!!!
Smiles,
Leah: )
On April 26th, my mom received her last chemo treatment. May (and every month) will be filled with celebration and thankfulness for my mother’s health.
From May Day to Memorial Day, there’s not a day that I don’t love in May.
I absolutely don’t know this to be true, but A girl can hope!
We are praying that May will be the month we’ll get matched with the children we are trying to adopt <3
May = birthday!
May flowers and green grass!
Our firstborn was born the day after Mother’s Day some 32 years ago this month. So sweet!
My son was born in May!
Warm enough for swimming!
May is truly the beginning of spring in Colorado.
I have always loved Red Letter Words and would be so blessed to have her art hanging in my home! I love May because my son gets out of school for the summer (and that means he gets to move home for a couple of months)!
my bday!
