My sweet Mother's birthday was this past Sunday.
I have been thinking of her a lot lately and missing her so.
Fall was her favorite time of year and one of her (and our favorite activities) was baking pies --
her specialty was apple pies!
Of course, she made the crust from scratch and baked each pie with the
perfect amount of juicy apples and love.
Once in a while my Dad would buy a frozen apple pie he found
on sale somewhere and would attempt to say it was as good as homemade.
She and I both turned up our noses at those!
There's just no beating one of her homemade apple pies.
You should have tasted her homemade dinner rolls and cinnamon rolls!
So, in honor of her birthday the other day,
I made . . . mini blueberry pies!
Although they looked a bit messy,
they were delicious and I know she would have loved them!

My Mom would have loved her and her fun cooking show!
Thinking of you on your birthday and every single day Mom.
You are loved and missed.

I love how you are honoring your mom in this way- I bet the memories of her come flooding back as you make your darling pies. :) And.... I just LOVE that picture of the 3 of you. :)
Such a precious picture of the three of you. I'm sure you think of her everyday.
I love, love, love this picture! How fun to make mini pies near your mom's birthday. I am so glad you have so many sweet memories this time of year!
Such a sweet way to remember Grandma Pat. :)
It so funny how our Mom's are never far from our thoughts.
