Once upon a time, I signed my mother in law up for a produce co-op at my friends house and my friend really thought my mother in laws name is Rita. Nope. That's her blog identity. I always like to think that when you've made a nickname for yourself on a blog - then you've really arrived.
Rita is Kday's mom and of course my favorite mother in law. There are many a girl out there in the world who could only WISH they had a MIL like Rita. She's awesome. Not one of those MIL's you avoid like the plague... nope, she's pretty fantastic. In fact, I usually look for excuses to go loiter at her house with my children.
She plans amazing parties. Our Halloween Extravaganza : Rita is the mastermind behind it all. New Years Eve Celebrations: Insane party with insane amounts of D-lish food. Chinese New Year: The reason we were even considered to adopt our little girl, because Rita throws a wicked CNY party. 4th of July: couldn't be done better by anyone else, the list goes on and on and on.
She loves my kids as much as I do. Spoils them beyond belief and they love her too.
She is patient, thoughtful, selfless, creative, and wise.
And most of all, she's the Matriarch of the Day Family Clan. Her house is the safe haven her children seek in times of need or sorrow or celebration. She is the first one to celebrate each victory with her children and the first one to listen to them cry as they turn to her for help and guidance. Rita's life - is her children, and her children's children. She is the epitome of compassionate service. And as lucky as I am to have married a good man (her baby) I'm just as lucky to have married into his family. They're pretty fantastic.
