I can’t tell you the last time I saw my mom on Mother’s Day. It always makes me a little sad that I don’t ever get to celebrate my love and appreciation for her in person because we live so far apart.
This Mother’s Day she and my dad are on an Alaskan Cruise and then going to Los Angeles for a couple of days. Must be nice!
We have always had a very special relationship and I can see a lot of her in me. I can also see a lot of my dad in me. I remember a big argument that we had back when I was in high school and I asked her why she couldn’t just be my friend. Her response was, “Because I’m your mother. I’m not here to be your friend.” And she was right at the time.
But now things are completely different. I go to her with everything and she is my best friend. I still need advice and I ask her. If it’s decorating advice or relationship advice, I go to her. She is an amazing woman of God and I learn from her every day. Her patience and desire to give and provide for everyone she comes in contact with are truly inspirational.
She is the first person I call when something funny happens or I’m upset about something that happened at work. I know she’s always going to listen and because we’re so similar, she’s going to give me a response that either makes me laugh or gets me fired up! I’m sure she is driven crazy by the insane amount of times I call her every day.
So here’s to all of the mothers out there!
What a nice tribute.
You & your mom look so much alike. Cute, cute photos!
I haven’t celebrated Mother’s Day with mine in a long time either. Thanks for sharing photos of you and your mom!

Very sweet…you do favor your mother alot! You are both beautiful mommies 🙂
So sweet! My mom and I had the EXACT same argument when I was back in high school, and I remember it as being a defining moment in our relationship that I will always remember. She is also a great friend now too, but she will always be mom and that makes me smile. I hope you have a happy first mother’s day (you still get to celebrate even if baby boy isn’t born yet!)
What a sweet post! Aren’t moms great?? I am on the phone with my mom several times a day too!! She’s so easy to talk about everything with. You and your mom are so cute! You two look so much alike! Can’t wait to see you all with a baby in the mix 🙂
What a lovely post. I don’t know who/where I’d be in life without my mom 🙂

what a sweet post 🙂 you and your mom look so much alike and are so pretty!
Hooray from moms!
those are sweet pictures!
awwww, this makes me miss my mom!! so sweet!!!!
so very sweet! and what cute pics. i laugh too thinking back on the “why cant you just be my friend” line that we all pulled with our moms and we all got the “because i’m your mom” funny how a few years changes everything.
I think all teenage girls have that conversation…I know I did. It’s just hard because you want a friend, but you NEED at Mom at that age. But now that I’m an adult, married, etc. my Mom is my friend and my mom and its just a wonderful relationship…nothing else like it 🙂 Happy Mothers Day!
How sweet!
Awww, love it. Your post is so sweet and thoughtful. Happy Day to KK and Happy First Mother’s Day to you, my sweet friend. xoxo

My mom always told me that she wasn’t going to be my friend because she was my mom all the time.
At the time I hated it, but now I have a great respect for her.
