THAT Kind of Mom



I have had the pleasure of spending two weeks with my mother. She never ceases to amaze me. My pal Angela recently said that she noticed that my mom "clearly has a servant's heart", and I thought that description was as perfect as they come. Last week she helped us with babysitting, co-hosting a shower (more on that later), cleaning and much more. She is THAT kind of mom.

My mother is a fabulous cook, keeps a spotless house (the shiny clean ceiling fan blade kind...), gardens, cares for our grandmothers, and much more. As I was playing with "Agent O" today, I found this little bear that my mom had sewn clothes for. She sewed doll clothes with Janie and I as kids, she sews with Madeline, and I look forward to her sewing with our girls.

I hope I can be THAT kind of mom. Maybe not the incredible sewing skills kind, but you get the picture!

Is she for hire? I need a spotless house right now. There is no description for a great mom - glad you have one!

She sounds like a great mom. I see how you learned to be such a terrific mom yourself! Sophia and Claire are very lucky girls :)
