Mother’s Day is a really special time for me to reflect on the four generations of women we have in our family. Each of us are the eldest of our generation…and all of us strong, independent women!

For Mother’s Day, I wanted to find a great, local business that had some kind of tie to motherhood and the way that our moms affect our lives in ways we sometimes don’t even expect.

Delainy’s simple and cute cafe opened a few months ago and, from what I understand, business is thriving!
As mothers, I’m pretty sure we can all say that we are guilty, from time to time, of passing judgement on the parenting style of another.

On the other hand, and more often than not, I am constantly questioning, worrying and wondering if my way actually is the right way…so who am I to judge?
