My mom and I are super close. We always have been. Sure we had normal mother/daughter teenage crap and sure sometimes its obnoxious that she is ALWAYS right …rawr. But she has taught me some valuable lessons…
So I present to you ….
Things My Momma Taught Me
Little said is easily mended…or…..
No not really but you know dont gossip, dont lie, the less you say the better off you are.
Always carry floss with you….the one time you dont you will need it
Boys come and go in life but as long as you have 2 friends you can count on thats more than you need. Thankfully I have more than 2 but Im sure glad with the friends and the guy I have 🙂 Thanks momma 🙂
Don’t go to bed angry with someone….you wont sleep well. Truth. I never go to bed mad at someone be it a friend, family member or A. All issues must be solved by the time I shut my eyes 🙂
The truth shall set you free…otherwise known as …
No not really just dont lie. No reason for it. The truth makes life easier. One lie means you have to have more and more to cover it up…just tell the damn truth!
Change the water in the vase for flowers often….maybe this is why I kill flowers….OK mom I still have stuff I need to work on.
Buy pieces for your wardrobe that are timeless…seriously guys she has red Manolo’s from the 80’s that still work she rocks it!
My mom is awesome which a lot of you know who have met her and Im super lucky to have her teach me so many valuable lessons in life from floss to shoes 🙂
Thanks momma!
What did your mom or dad teach you?
I totally agree with the not going to bed angry…but sometimes you might just have to ignore that, go to bed and your husband is better in the morning! 😉 Have a great weekend!
Your momma is a wise lady 🙂 Love it!
Such a great post! Sounds like you have a very special Mama. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Awww, I love your momma’s advice! I have a Mom’s Words of Wisdom in the works! *twins* The best lesson she taught me: no matter what, you just keep going. xoxo
My Mom just died of cancer. Enjoy eveyr moment with your Mom, as when they are gone your life is forever dark. My Mom was my best friend and we did eveyrthing together,. My Mom taught me to be independent and depend on no one, make my own way in life without depending on a man,be self assured and proud of yourself every day. Be kind,compassionate and willing to listen, love all animals and fight for their rights. Read every day something challenging and something fun you enjoy. Embrace education throughout life. Be educated on all issues and if someone is talking with whom you do not agree, do not argue just be kind,.Know how to have discussion in arts, culture, language , books and history. Be a classy lady every day., Dressing in classics is always more ladylike . believe in yourself and your own power. Stand up for yourself in every situation, Trust no one because people will always let you down, Wear perfume,jewelry, lipstick and makeup every time you leave the house and coordinate your wardrobe for the seasons. Dress classy as a lady and it will give you power. Carry a nice purse that is coordinated with your outfits for the season. Carry a mirror, lipstick, nail file and extra money with a good luck charm in your purse. My Mom was a stylish gorgeous women who was highly intelligent and people admired her for her class and style. This is a great post! Your Mom is so beauitful.
Your mom sounds like a smart lady!
The only thing I’ve learned to disagree with is {and my mom preached the same thing actually} is never going to bed angry.
After being married for 7 years we’ve learned that sometimes fighting until 4 am is counterproductive. Being able to sleep on something can really change your perspective by the time you wake up in the morning. Things often seem less dramatic with a cup of tea [or coffee] and calmer disposition.
I’m a firm believer in not going to bed angry … and my momma taught me not to lie and to treat others the way I want to be treated!
