3 Generations – the one who made me a mom, and the one who taught me how to be a mom

I have been raised by the most loving, caring mother in the world, and for that I’m am truly thankful. And to all the ladies I know who have the hardest, most important, and most rewarding job in the world, I wish you a special day today, and hope that you take the time to celebrate the fabulous person that is YOU! Happy Mother’s Day!

  1. I love that 3 generations photo of you guys. Your daughter looks like a little cutie-pie and is so happy – and the two of you look so lovely! You are very lucky to have your mom in your life. I loved your list – especially “never too old for a cuddle’ (so true!) and “a mother’s love is the most important ingredient in the growth of a child.” Well said!

  2. I love #3. Very true. Actually, the whole list is wonderful. Your mama is one smart woman.
    Lovely picture of you three beauties.

  3. This is such a beautiful list, I love it! A mother’s love is SO important along with cuddles, praise and acceptance. So good and lovely picture as well. Hope you had a great Mother’s Day today!

  4. These are so important and I fall short on many, too often! What a wonderful lady your mom is!
    Happy Mother’s day to you both!

  5. Beautiful. I love #8 and 9. I always wished I had more support when I wanted to try something different and I try to always be that support for my children. This year, my son wanted to play lacrosse. I know nothing about the game but I’m so glad he has played! Supporting them in different interests is so rewarding!

  7. Happy Mother’s Day! These are great tips for moms to live by. I especially like Praise in public, correct in private. Sometimes, I break this rule. I think I need to remember this more often. Thanks for the reminder!

  8. What a beautiful photo. That one will surely be cherished for years to come!

    And your mom is a wise woman…Great advice!

  9. What a great list. I love number three… it’s one of my biggest things I always try to stay true to. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day.
