To all the moms...

So I wasn't near my computer yesterday and you will have to forgive me if your picture is not found below, but I wanted to wish all the wonderful mothers a happy belated mother's day. I can't tell you how much I have learned from all of you. I hope you had a great day. To be honest, I wish mother's day was everyday because mothers should always be honored. We do so much.

Mary Irene has taught me to be patient with myself as a mom

Grandma Bohn has taught me how to keep to a budget and keep to my goals

Amanda has taught me to smile in the face of adversity

Grandma Gallagher has taught me to trust myself and my decisions

Joan has taught me to laugh at the small things that happen.

Aunt Cindi has taught me how to help my kids be individuals

Grandma Bea has taught me to laugh at life

Cathy has taught and continues to teach me about kindness and patience towards children

Lori has taught me how to discipline and how to raise little girls to be little ladies

Whitney has taught me incredible patience

Sarah always teaches me when I am supposed to be feeding Mya certain foods or when I am supposed to help Mya learn to do certain things

Aunt Donna has taught me how to respect others

And my mom...my dear mom...has taught me everything I know. I love you mom. I wish I could give you what you always insist on giving me: a hug.
