MY HERO, MY MOM
My mom was my hero. I gave her a run for her money and probably was the cause of her prematurely greying hair, but that didn’t deter her from pushing forward in life. She didn’t hesitate to color those grey tresses well … Continue reading

MOTHERS WHO INFLUENCED MY LIFE

DAYS IN THE LIFE OF A MOTHER

MOTHER OF MANY
“He that raises a large family does, indeed, while he lives to observe them, stand a broader mark for sorrow; but then he stands a broader mark for pleasure too.” Benjamin Franklin Well, Benjamin Franklin only had three children that … Continue reading
I WANT MY MOMMIE!
Don’t you just love it when there’s a little voice trailing behind you saying, “Mom – mom, mommie, mother, ma, mom, mom, mom? Little ones are constant sources of questions, needs, demands and wants. “I want a cookie,” “I want a new … Continue reading
