Sunday Sentiments

 

Happy Mother's Day! I know this day brings a mix of feelings for many women, and I respect that. I know some of you just need to fast forward through this day and others are excited it's finally here. Today I thought I'd do something a little different in honor of my own mom. One of my friends posted pictures of her daughter's "about my mom" booklet she made at school. I think her daughter is a kindergartener, and some of her answers were just fabulous. (Like, for example, the fact that she said her mom was 69 years old. I'm fairly certain she's not even 40.)

I think it's good to celebrate moms - even with basic questions, so I'm going to answer the same ones Miss Livy answered!

This is my mom!

Three words I would use to describe her are: witty, generous, thoughtful.

My mom is an undisclosed years old.

Her favorite food is: chocolate and she loves to drink sweet tea.

When I was at school, my mom worked in a first grade class.

I think my mom looks the most beautiful when she laughs.

My mom is a fabulous cook. 

The best thing she cooks is pot roast. And pie. And Christmas candy.

My mom is a great teacher of reading.

I loved it when we read any kind of books together.

(Insert side note here: My mom taught me to read when I was preschool age, and I always tested far above my grade level in reading. I am grateful for that gift she gave me. She also read books to me when I was young. Lots of chapter books.)

My mom is creative with so many things, and she is the best at hospitality.

My mom is sweeter than chocolate, warmer than coffee, and more beautiful than roses. 

My mom deserves the world. If I could buy her anything, I would buy her a full-time staff so she could rest!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! Thank you for all you do for us - and all you have done for us in the past decade. We love you!
