Ever since becoming a mom… Mother’s Day! 😉
It’s finally spring weather on May!
The end of the homeschool year and putting together the kids portfolios. We get to remember everything we’ve done all year and look forward to the slower time of summer.
We live in Texas, so May is always that sweet spot of not too not weather for us, green grass, blue bonnets, and flowers everywhere!
May, time to plant my vegetable garden!
Thank you
These brought back memories of my grandmother playing hymns…
so sweet.
to me, May is the feeling of being alive!
love love love the flowers that show their face in May
Here in North Carolina everything is in bloom and I am always in wonder as I enjoy all of God’s earth in bloom! Only He can give us such beauty! The sights and sounds and smells of spring amaze me! The birds nesting. The deer in my yard. weeding the flower beds and getting my hands in the dirt! Planting flowers, herbs, and once again attempting some vegetables! The hope of success! Everything is alive! May makes me happy! 🙂
May is also little league baseball. My son is 12 and has been playing since he was 5. I always enjoy this season as well!
The shedding of winter clothes, t-shirts, shorts, open toe shoes, green grass, flowers, flowers, and more flowers! I live in New England and it is wonderful to feel the warm air again….finally!! Wahoo!
May brings beautiful flowers and warmer weather.
The many different colors of green that God paints the landscape with! How wonderful to see things awaken after along, long winter.
I love May because the weather is getting significantly warmer and the anticipation of summer is really present! I am going to school year-round this time, but I used to also love it because it was when the semester ended.
May is great.
I so love the month of May because we are on the countdown to the end of school!!!
Can’t wait to spend it with my girls, who just so happen to be our gifts from China:))))
Even sweeter is that we brought them home through Lifeline!
Awesome month of May, awesome kids, awesome rockin’ agency….serving an AWESOME God!
Can’t wait to follow your adoption. It is the most incredible journey you will take! Savor each and every moment for it is a gift from the Father!

Mother, may I?
My favorite thing about May is my sweet children get out of school and we don’t have to be so scheduled!
My favorite thing about May? Two of my children were born!
One of my favorite things about the month of May is just the flowers, It’s always always such a welcome sight after a long winter of not having them.
The thing I love most about May is….Mother’s Day! For two reasons: First, my mother has been one of the most influential people in my life and it is a wonderful time to honor her. Secondly, now I am experiencing what it is to be a mother, all the joy that a child can bring, and of course putting to use all the things my mom has taught me. 🙂
May brings flowers and warm evenings.
May flowers and grass mowing are my favorites….
I love the weather in May! And the fact that it is the last month of school.
I love hearing the birds a-singin’ and enjoying all the fresh green grass (before it turns brown again by July — I live in Texas!)
I like Mother’s Day (since I’m a mom)!!
May is birthday month – three friends named Debbie (popular in 1957) with birthday on May 5 and my big brother’s birthday is on May 7. Plus, of course, Spring!
One of my favorite things about the month of May is my son’s birthday. He will be 10 on the 16th and his birth made May a very special time of year!
My favorite thing about the month of May is that it was the month my beautiful niece was born. She turns 4 this year! Oh and I think these canvases are AMAZING! I hope I win!
Planting a garden and watching it grow from tiny seeds.
Tulips!!
My grandchildren get out of school and can visit me often.
Awesome giveaway! Fingers crossed I win! (Sounds so selfish.)
I love that it is green again!
Love the flowers and warmer temps..just right!
May marks the end of the school year and this homeschooling mom of 4 is SO ready for summer!
May: the beginning of dreams that summer will be lazy and peaceful, but the bittersweetness (word?) that following two short months, your child will be a grade older. The one that goes to kindergarten, junior high, or (heaven forbid) High school! So to say what’s best about May with the inevitable of August, it causes me to pause and reflect on my children’s growth and that is always a good thing.
I love the sun, the warmth (but not too hot, at least in Indiana), the flowers, the Green grass, green leaves…you get the idea! 🙂
I love May because it is time to wear sandals & flip-flops!
I love May for the nice weather. Eleven years ago it became my favorite because of Mother’s Day. I’m not a gifts person (love to give but not necessary to receive) but that first Mother’s Day changed that. I love the one day when my family celebrates me. I know that may sound selfish but as we all know mothering is a thankless job so I really appreciate the one day where my hubby and two kids shower me with extra attention and love.
I love to start hanging out on my porch, the weather is perfect.
My mom’s birthday is in May!!…I love my Mom and I love celebrating her:)
I love the May flowers that the April showers help produce!!!!!
OH these canvas’s are awesome!!! Favorite thing…Hello May…my ornamental pear tree’s blossomed today, just breathtaking
May flowers, of course! Love ’em!
My favorite thing about May is my son’s upcoming wedding on May 4!
We drove through the night for the birth of our son on May 1. 2007. We got the call telling us his birthmom was in labor on April 30th and could we be there the next day for her induction?? Is the pope Catholic??? He’s our May Day baby and forever blessing.
My favorite thing about May? We will FINALLY get to meet our first baby this month! 🙂
I love that May means the beginning of summer, but in the true spirit of Colorado we get random snow days too! One day I get to wear flip flops, the next my favorite boots and scarf.
May Day and May Flowers!!!!
My favorite thing about the month of May is that we get out of school! I teach high school English, and believe me, by May, I am SO ready for school to get out! Lori Lucas
May is the month of renewal…love the spring air, flowers, and the way it brings people together …..
I loved going out into the woods of our farm with my dad, searching for May Flowers on May Day. One of my favorite traditions. I think of it on this day every year, and some day I’ll actually be back on the farm on May 1st and my dad and I will go in search of flowers poking through the snow again. And my kids will tag along. 😉
