A mother is a person that doesn’t get enough credit for the work she does. I am proud to say I am the man I am today because of the values my mother instilled in me at a young age. She has since passed but still lives within me as I go about my everyday life.
This day is also special to me because of this beautiful lady in my life, my wife Erika. She is a tremendously gifted and caring human being that I’m so dearly in love with. As you already know, we have 3 beautiful children ages 3 and under so there is never a dull moment in the Ward household.

Most of you know Erika through this incredible blog that inspires and provides great design advice. I know her as someone who takes care of our children, keeps our home beautiful and clean, cooks fabulous meals, runs a great design business, and keeps me happy in more ways than one (ooh yeah)! For anyone that has had the privilege of meeting Erika, they know that she is beautiful woman both inside and out. She's genuine, has a pure heart, and motivates people not just in design but in any area she feels she can contribute to their lives. What Erika means to me (and our household) is just plain and simple, “I CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT HER!” She is my rock and helps me to maintain focus on my duties as a husband and provider. I greatly appreciate her and thank GOD everyday for bringing this special woman into my life. She's someone I can grow young with. Today I celebrate and thank all mothers for all they do, and I especially thank the mother of my children for all that she does for us. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.
