Happy Mother's Day!

Moms are pretty amazing.  I love my mom.  I'm actually a little sad that I haven't seen her on a Mother's Day in years.  We usually stayed in MN with the Valleys.  I miss her and wish we lived closer. I know I will see her this summer. We have learned to live far apart, but it can still be hard sometimes.  We are really good at talking on the phone.  I wanted to share with all of you a list of important things I have learned from my mother.

Important Lessons from Mom:

1. Chewing gum usually is unattractive. - I finally agree with you mom.

2. Be open minded

3. Thank you notes are important

4. Speak up, be confident, your opinion matters aka protesting is a good thing.

5. Peanut butter and milk should be consumed daily.

6. Always pack a swimsuit and extra set of clothes in your carry on.

7. She can make almost anything all better - still to this day!

8. Always call home before leaving anywhere - Chris now suffers these phone calls and text messages.

9. The Royals and Kennedys are fun to follow.

10. Popcorn or ice cream can be a meal occasionally. 

Happy Mother's Day Mom!
