Thinking back through when I was growing up to now, I realize that my mother not only is the biggest and best example of an amazing wife and mother that I could possibly want or need, but also the most selfless person I've ever known. I'm one of the younger children in a huge family, and on top of birthing all those children(most of them naturally), she chose to deal with them all 24 hours a day by homeschooling us all. I never understood when I was little of course, but now that I have my own life and family I realize just how much she did for us and others, and how little I ever saw her do anything for herself, or take time off. She was always doing thirty things at once between cooking massive meals to up-keeping our huge garden, playing piano for singers and concerts, teaching music and school lessons, driving kids to and from, lots of time on the phone finding ways to help others, etc etc. She went to bed long after we all did and woke up way before, and yet through all that she still managed to be happy and sweet all the time. I could never be as selfless as she is and has always been, but at least I'm close enough to her that I can try and learn, every day:) Love you mom!

The best savings advice was, go for the clearance rack first lol!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet post :)
ReplyDeleteMy mum has set such a great example to me too, and also told me that she would never be disappointed in me. For a worrier, that was awesome!
Such a sweet post :)
ReplyDeleteMy mum has set such a good example to me too, and has always told me that she would never be disappointed in me - for a worrier that was so encouraging!
If a coupon is available, use it!
ReplyDeleteMy mom always encouraged to live for God and do my best. She was right! :)
ReplyDeleteBest savings advise was always a stash of emergency cash.
ReplyDeleteAdvice from my mom.....if you want something (material or in life), work for it! Don't just sit around and wait for it to happen, but do something about it.
ReplyDeleteBrush your teeth as much as possible. A pretty smile is all the beauty you need!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom's best advice has been "Be who you are",
ReplyDeleteMy mom taught me to only buy what you need Hanna
ReplyDeleteMy mom taught me that shopping can always be fun! Even if it's grocery shopping...a cup of coffee can make it better! :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom's best advice came when I was really discouraged and second guessing every decision I'd made. We were in the car and she asked me why the rear-view mirror was so small in comparison to the windshield. I was probably too busy crying to respond, to be honest! But she said it's the same with life; looking back is useful, but we were ultimately made to look to the future and be open to possibilities. I'll never forget it.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway on your site. Thanks for sharing the others.
ReplyDeleteIf you get a sec, check out my latest post.
Hope you're having a great day.

My mom and I have a great relationship! And over the years she's offered me wonderful advice, the best of which is to wear clothing that fits your body type and learn which styles and colors look best on you when it comes to your coloring, etc. She's a special lady. :)
ReplyDeleteWho wouldn't love a Target gift card - I'd for sure spend it ALL on my mother for Mother's Day if she were still here.
ReplyDeleteMy mom has taught me to love the clearance rack :)

ReplyDeleteThe best advice my mom gave me when shopping or dressing myself was to always dress appropriate enough to run into anyone I might know and not be embarrassed and to dress classic so that I won't be embarrassed to see a picture of myself 10 years from now.
ReplyDeleteMy mom taught me to always use coupons when I can!
ReplyDeleteMom taught me to serve others. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom always taught me to save some of my paycheck for the future/rainy day!
ReplyDeleteMom taught me how to save money!
ReplyDeleteMy mom told me to never leave the house with my bra straps showing and to always save at least 10% of my paycheck :) excellent advice!
ReplyDeleteMy mom always said to treat people the way you would like to be treated.

My mom taught me that in life, you are never given more than you can handle. The people with the most burdens and hardships are the strongest.
