Ode to My Mom...

My mom had her birthday yesterday and I think she deserves a little blog shout-out! I love that the relationship with my mom is always exactly what I need it to be. She is one of my very best friends. She is my confidante. She and I laugh constantly. I never knew how much I would cherish the relationship we share.

Things I love about my mom:

-She is silly! I love when she cuts loose and we eat junk food and laugh until our stomach hurts!

-She's wise. She always gives me great advice...even when it's not exactly what I want to hear.

-She doesn't take herself to seriously.

-She is so compassionate! She would seriously give you her shoes and never complain once if her feet hurt.

-She's generous! She give and gives and gives.

-She's rock solid!

-She loves people. Everyone likes my mom because she makes an effort to get to know them.

-She's thoughtful.

-She is an amazing example.

-She's supportive and encouraging.

-She doesn't judge and she's accepting.

I hope that, one day,I can be the kind of mom to my kids that my mom is to me!

Yep...silly

My kids LOVE her!

This picture always makes me laugh! It was so windy! So in the next picture she

tried tying her hair under her chin. It didn't work any better.
