I have zillions of photos of my son, and dozens of great pictures of my husband with him, but only a handful of good pictures of me. I regret not doing a professional shoot when he was a newborn, so I think it would be a nice tradition to take an annual Mother’s Day portrait to mark the passing years.

An escape. Warm sun, a swimming pool, lunch delivered to my lounge chair, an ice-cold mojito. And a swimsuit that covers a little more belly than in the old days.

This year, my husband will be stepping off a flight from Shanghai on Saturday, so a lazy, pampered Sunday morning sleeping in is probably not in the cards for me. So I’m just going to treat myself to some shopping and maybe buy this cute poster I’ve had my eye on. Use code “mommy” at checkout and enjoy $30 off plus free shipping for all U.S. orders over $100. Expires 5/10/11.

Inspired by my best friend, who just received a beautiful custom-made birthstone necklace celebrating the impending birth of her son, I’ve found a few delicate pieces that I wouldn’t mind gracing my own neckline.  (Confidential to R:  this is not a selfish, public attempt to goad you into buying me a gift.  Not at all.)

1.  Inscribed with the Socrates quote “Wisdom begins with wonder“  And with new babies, could any sentiment be closer to the truth?  2.  Symmetry in oxidization and diamonds;  3.  Hearts and swords:  you will go to battle for them;  4.  This proper Victorian will showcase your tiny photos on both sides;  5.  A stunner of a locket;  6.  Make your message secret and sweet.
