Happy Mother's Day!

       Happy Mother's Day!  Today's Prim & Posh spotlight is on my Mother/Daughter team.  If you want to see an amazing Mom, just look at Cara.  I met her through her husband, Jeremy.  My husband and I went to school with Jeremy, and he and I worked together at Pizza Hut when we were in high school.  (I could make a mean batch of bread sticks,  I rocked the black apron, and I only dumped  pizza into a lady's purse once.....  ha ha)

     If our culture had arranged marriages, their daughter, Makenna, would be my pick for my son, Drew.  She is so sweet, spunky, funny, and just plain adorable.  My first memory of her is at a birthday party for our mutual friend, Phylis.  Makenna and Drew were both babies, and this was quite the shindig.  I remember oooooing and ahhhhing over Makenna before the festivities started.  This particular party involved an Elvis impersonator (I know, I know.......don't ask.)  As soon as Elvis started his first song, my Drew screamed.  We are talking blood-curdling, everyone in the entire room looks at you scream.  I had to do the mad dash mom-run to get him outside.  (I know all of you Mommys out there have done it once or twice!)  Yes, my child was the baby who was deathly afraid of Elvis.  Who knew?

     Drew and Makenna went to the same preschool, and have been in the same class the last two years.  They are buds.  I got to know  Makenna when I would come in to help in Drew's classroom each week.  She is hilarious!  I have never met a child so genuinely kind and just full of sweetness.  My all-time favorite Makenna story happened this last year at Drew's 7th birthday party.  Drew had opened his presents, and he really wanted to open up one of his new Lego sets.  Mind you, this set had about a bazillion pieces.  I said no, not when the party was still in full swing.....maybe later.  Drew commenced to pout-mode and plopped himself down on the hood of his Dad's car.  Makenna came up and sat down next to him.  "What's wrong, Drew?"  she asked.  Drew explained the injustice of the situation before him.  She responded with that Makenna spunk, "Let's grab your Lego and then jump in my Dad's truck!  We can lock the doors and then they won't be able to stop us!!!"

     When I found an awesome Mother/Daughter Bag pattern a few months ago I decided I wanted to use real models for my website.  I have 2 boys, and just don't think either one of them could pull off a Buttercup Bag successfully.  Ha ha.  I knew Cara and Makenna were my first choice.  I am so glad Cara said yes!!!  I contacted Niki Jerrell about doing a photo shoot with just the Mother/Daughter team.  That wee little photo shoot turned into 10 bags and a full-blown catalog.  ;)

     One behind-the-scenes tidbit.......How awesome were Makenna's shoes?!?!?!     You didn't get to see them in the shot I used for the catalog.  I love them Makenna!  Every girl needs a pair of sparkly, pink shoes.

So here's to all you fabulous Mama's out there just like Cara.  Little ones like Makenna don't just magically happen.  They are cherished, taught, guided and loved.  Happy Mother's Day!!
