Aren't moms just the smartest?
With Mother's Day right around the corner, I started thinking about what I was gonna gift her this year, which made me think about all the things she's given me over the years. And sure, there were plenty of 'things' (mom's a great cook and crafty, too), but I mean the things she's taught me. Here's the short list:
- A great love and reverence for animals
- How to balance my check-book to the penny! (kudos to her- it was no easy task teaching me math)
- How to cook
Besides her favorite lavender soap, every year it gets a little tougher to come up with something she doesn't already have or want.
So, I'm thinking of writing her a heartfelt letter. You know- the kind of assignment we all got from our fourth grade teachers, right before Mothers Day
But I vow to do it better this time- ha! They're adorable and I still have one from my son. He was in the fourth grade, and it reads:
"Happy Mothers Day, Mom,
My mother is tall, has brown eyes and likes to help the doctors.
She likes to take naps. I like when she sticks up for me.
She is a good mom."
If you're lucky enough to still have your mom around, you know she still has that fourth grade letter. If you can't think of the perfect gift, maybe it's time for the sequel?
