happy mother’s day!

see the beautiful lady in all those pictures?  that’s my mom.  she happens to be the best mother out there, and not only that – she is also an amazing teacher, mentor, wife, friend, hostess, cook, dog mama, shopping date, walking partner, travel buddy, the list goes on!

my mom is the kind of lovely person who always knows the right thing to say and always knows the right thing to do.  she gives pitch-perfect advice and always has a great book recommendation.  she is one of the wisest people i know when it comes to everything from finances to relationships to parenting to etiquette.  she knows every idiom and phrase in the book, never gets stumped by a vocab word, and always has a witty line up her sleeve.  her sense of humor is contagious.  she keeps homemade cookies in the freezer at all times to pull out in case of “emergency,” sets a gorgeous table and is an incredible hostess.  she makes sun tea on summer days and loves taking walks.  she enjoys long chats on the phone and is someone i can talk to about everything from work challenges to boy troubles to awkward body issues that you can hardly even say out loud [sorry, maybe that’s TMI but everyone has had something at one time or another…) ;)  she makes my favorite foods every time i come home and is always ready with a bit of something wonderful for dessert.  she knows what i’m thinking without me having to say it, and she has helped me follow my dreams and gotten me through the hardest of times.  she is everything i ever want to be in a wife, mother, daughter, and friend.

thank you, my dear mom, for being such an amazing role model.  i love you to the moon and back.

and finally, not to be forgotten, i am so blessed to have some other fantastic women/mothers in my life, especially my two darling grandmothers and my lovely future mother-in-law.  i love you all and know how lucky i am to have each of you.  xoxo
