A Mother Is…

May 7, 2011

IMG (3)

A Mother is…selfless in every way.

A Mother is someone who lets you cry in her arms after your boyfriend dumps you and tells you that you don’t need a boy to be fabulous. You already are.

A Mother is someone who gets up early to make your lunch for school and sneaks in a written note to say she loves you.

A Mother is someone who can rock an 80’s perm like nobody’s business.

She can also style a mean side pony when she has to.

A Mother is someone who cuts the crusts off your bread even though she doesn’t have time to butter her own.

A Mother is someone who communicates well. When she calls you by your first, middle, and last name you know you are in deep trouble.

A Mother is also someone who is a master of non-verbal communication. With just one look, you know she knows what you did…and that’s never good.

A Mother is someone who writes Operation Beautiful notes and leaves them wherever she travels.

A Mother is someone who defies the aging process because she radiates love and beauty.

A Mother is someone who supports your love of singing, tutus, furry pets, and rollerskates.

A Mother is someone with patience. She understands that your terrible twos and troublesome teenage years will pass. And when they do, she misses them.

A Mother is someone who teaches you the power of the written word.

A Mother is someone who is awake at night worrying when you are going through a tough time. Whether you are a toddler with a bad cold, a 16 year old girl with a broken heart, or a 25 year old woman struggling with a career decision. She’s used to not getting much sleep.

A Mother is someone who cries when she reads your cards.

A Mother is someone who misses you when you are not around. She reads your blog, calls you, and emails you. She even learns how to use Twitter and Skype just so she can be more connected. (still working on the texting, but we’ll get there!)

A Mother is someone who takes a picture of a recipe that she made because she knows you will be proud.

A Mother is someone who gives you the last piece of cake and exclaims that she ‘isn’t hungry’ after all.

A Daughter is someone who thinks her Mom deserves to eat more cake.

Thankfully, Mother’s are forgiving because this recipe I planned to share with you yesterday did not taste good!

I have a feeling that if I could be with my mom today, she would love this cake anyways.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mothers who make this world go round. Red heart

This is a really beautiful post! Sometimes what our mums do for us goes unnoticed and taken for granted. I feel the exact same way towards my mum! I’ll try to show her my appreciation a bit more not only today but everyday. She deserves it :]

Perfectly worded! You could not have said it any better!

Moms eat anything their child or children make, because it was made with love! :)

I love this post too… My Mom is someone who loves me for me- faults and all. Sometimes I push it, sometimes she pushes it. But she’s my best friend- through thick and thin… very thin…! We give our Mom’s more grief than we could ever wish to admit, but also hold more love than can ever express xxxx

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the Mom’s out there. Oprah says “Mom, hardest job on earth — but I’d like to add that it is also the most rewarding! I hope you all feel as loved as I do today.
