WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
“There is only one pretty child in the world, and every mother has it.”
--Chinese Proverbs
Happy
Mother’s Day to all you mamas out there!
If you are a mom, I’m sure that you are familiar with the sentiments of
the quote above. Goodness knows my mama
certainly is. As I look back on the
atrocities that compiled my middle school and preteen style, I ask my mom,
“What were you thinking letting me out of the house like that????” Her constant response is, “What are you
talking about? You were precious!”
Absurdities. That is what those
lies are. It didn’t matter what leopard
print combination or strange variation of “Spice Girls” hairdo I was
experimenting with, I was always “precious in her eyes”. (Despite the well-deserved ridicule I
received both then and now for my heinous phase of style back in the day) Along with her ever-present reassurance, I
was able to pick up a few valuable life lessons from my mother over the years
and they are as follows, in order of increasing importance:
Forever Reassuring
- Take the Chap Stick out of your pockets before doing the laundry.
- Do not microwave aluminum foil.
- Drive on the defense, not on the offense. Cars are weapons.
- Always overdress. (Even if it is in your best purple leopard print and neon headbands)
- Remember who you are and WHOSE you are.
Me and Mama
My Mama and her Mama

for being such an incredible mama. Whit and

Love ya. Miss ya. Mean it.
