Happy Mothers Day Mom!


I have the greatest mom in the world.  She has taught me so much in my life.  I don't even pretend to be as good of a mom as she is.  I tell my friends that she never once in my entire life has ever yelled at me or anyone for that matter -  she sure set the bar high.  Every time I raise my voice at my kids a little voice inside my head says "you know better....your mom never yelled at you".  

10 things I love about my mom:

1.  She is always happy to talk to me.  She is never too busy or in the middle of something.
2.  She is completely fulfilled as a mother and grandmother- an excellent role-model. 
3.  She stays out of everyone's business and just listens.
4.  She taught me how to work hard by her example.
5.  She acts like no one on this planet can cut hair but me!
6.  She makes me feel secure- she is constant in her beliefs and approach to life.
7.  She has a way of making all of her 8 children feel like they are her favorite.
8.  She is loyal- She can always keeps a secret.
9.  She is smart-  she knows a little about everything.
10. She can laugh at herself.

I love you momma-  thank you for being you.

As for #8, I say partly false. If it's a good secret, she can't keep it in. But that's just cute.

Love,

We are really lucky to have her as our mom aren't we? I agree with the entire list except she makes you all think you are her favorite child but I've always known it was really me!! She is my hero!

Love,

I'm dying for a new post. It'll be hard to go back to your not as often posting.
