In honor of Mother's Day this past weekend I thought I would share five of my favorite things about my mom!
Laughter // My mom's laugh is amazing. It is by far the BEST laugh I have ever heard. If you have have ever had the pleasure of meeting my mom you know exactly what I am talking about. I used to perform in musicals twice a year and I could hear my sweet mama's laugh from the stage. In my 20 years as a performer it was so reassuring to hear my mom out in the audience laughing away!
Voice of Reason // My mom is my best friend and I go to her for everything! She is a tough cookie though, don't let her laugh fool you! She would always tell me, "hold your head high". She taught me to be a classy woman who will always hold her head high and move forward. I have become quite a tough cookie myself (I choose to be a chocolate "tough cookie" with nuts... sweet and a little crazy).
Coffee Addition // I get my need for caffeine from my mama. She should buy stock in Starbucks, honestly! When mom and I are together, our first stop is always coffee. There was one day mom and I had three cups of coffee while shopping. It is a wonderful thing to drink coffee with your equally coffee obsessed mom!
Love for Others // My mom is one of the most selfless people I know. She always puts others above herself. She loves people. She has a contagious personality and people are just drawn to her. She truly lights up a room and just makes you smile. Even in high school, my friends wanted my mom to be around. She was such a "cool mom" and was loved by all of my friends. To this day, my mom is really close with most of my best friends from high school. They sometimes call her before me! I pray for this trait daily!
Can't sit still // I 100% get the "energizer bunny syndrome" from my mom. We both have SO MUCH energy! My mom will work all day, walk thirteen miles (yes, you did ready that right; thirteen miles!), cook dinner, and still have a smile on her face at the end of the day. She goes all day everyday, nonstop! When mom and I get together we are a powerhouse of energy! With our energy and three cups of coffee, watch out!
So you see, my mom is Supper-woman! She is a laughing voice of reason with a fast paced coffee addition and a love for everyone she meets. She is mine. She is who I strive to be and who I want helping me raise my kids someday! I can see it now, three coffee crazed people running around the city spreading love wherever they go!
What do you love about your mom?
