Even though there are miles of things I would (do) do differently from my mother, I love her anyway. Maybe I love her more because of all those things.
My mom taught me
family is important, even if they can be embarrassing.
My mom taught me
we help people whenever & however we are able.
My mom taught me
quality is key in work & play ~
we mowed lawns like John Deere and colored like Van Gogh.
My mom taught me
it's best to let go sometimes.
My mom taught me
garage sales & thrift stores are usually more marvelous than the mall.
My mom taught me
napping is allowed.
My mom taught me
fast cars are worth having. And driving. Fast.
My mom taught me
if something is valuable to my child,
it should be valuable to me.
Happy birthday to a very Good Mom.

Aw this is very sweet - and your mom has some great lessons for us all. I'm not sure which I love more - that fast cars should be driven fast or that if it's valuable to your child it should be valuable to you, too. Much wisdom in those words. You are very blessed!
A lovely tribute--you're lucky to have one another.
Happy, happy to the one who brought you to the party. ox
Happy Birthday to your Mom :-)
Outstanding post. If I were your mom, I'd be feeling pretty pleased with myself after reading that. You've given me some great goals to work on with my own mothering.
