Happy Mother's Day to the best mom I could ask for! My mom and I have not always seen eye to eye (read: I was a pretty terrible teenager) but as I have grown up, we have only grown closer. I am so thankful to have her in my life and grateful to be her daughter. So in my mom's honor, I've made a list of twenty things (big and small) that I've learned from my mom over the years.
1. God is good, all the time. And He answers prayers.
2. Always keep a box of brownie mix on hand in case of an emergency. Or chocolate craving.
3. Make your bed each morning to start your day off with a fresh start.
4. You can do anything you set your mind to, if you just try.
5. Wear what makes you feel beautiful.
6. Confidence in a woman is not intimidating - it is sexy!
7. When you meet "The One," you just know. I didn't believe this one for a long time - but then it happened to me! Once again, Mom was right... :)
8. Don't hide your talents and uniqueness just to "fit in." It's not worth it.
9. Family comes first.
10. Chocolate chips are the perfect post-workout fuel.
11. Make time to play in your marriage, and don't forget how to have fun together.
12. No dream is too big.
13. A handwritten "thank you" note is a little thing that means a lot.
14. A clean, organized home is a family's safe haven.
15. Working out is a wonderful stress reliever.
16. The importance of balancing your checkbook.
17. Sometimes you just have to take a leap of faith and trust that God will catch you.
18. Surround yourself with people who lift you up.
19. If you don't know the words to a song, just make them up. What matters is that you're singing at all :)
20. What love looks like.
Happy Mother's Day, Mom. I love you!
Agree with all the above! Happy mothers' day to your mom! :)
