If you can dream it you can be it.
My mom would tell us don’t rush time (as in we can’t wait for a certain day for a certain event to happen) because in doing so we are rushing someone’s death.
I do want to share this which is a little off topic, but something I appreciate about my mom:
I know that it’s often said, blood is thicker than water. My mom goes shockingly to some, beyond this. She hears both sides of the story and gives input based on whom she believes is right. Family may end up with their feelings hurt, but in the end, we know that we can trust her honesty and desire to do right and learn from her example.
Men don’t grow up they just grow older.
Because I said so!

My mom always said, “The Older you get the faster time flies by so make sure you always do what makes you happy” and my all time favorite line from mom was “I just want you to be Happy” and I am very Happy especially for the Mom God gave to me 🙂
It is what it is
Never give up!
My Mom favorite words are: If you don’t behave you will get spanked.
“If you’re bored I can find something for you to do.”
It was usually weeding the garden or some form of housework.
Go ahead — keep laughing. You’ll soon be crying
Krim, Kista, Kraren… which ever one of you you are get over her!
Money doesn’t grow on trees.
Do your homework.
You will never know love like the love for your kids
My mom is most famous for her dancing (which I can impersonate flawlessly, by the way) but she does churn out some great advice as well. I guess the most memorable things she has said to me come when I’m not feeling well. My favourites are: “It’s okay to be sad,” and “this won’t be forever.” Both of which are coupled with a nice long session of “head scratchies” and a nap. It never fails to make things a little less awful.
Just wait till your dad gets home.
My Mom would always say, “Well Susan, you know how your father is……” which I’m sorry, just was NOT A GOOD enough excuse in my book, for some of his actions, behavior, and criticism…..he may be gone, but those painful words and slaps will always be in my mind & heart. I know you have to let go, but that is easier said then done!
Give your anxiety to God
When something would go wrong, she would always tell me to pull myself up by my bootstraps and keep going.
Never say Never or can’t as you can do all thing with Christ!
My mother favorite saying, It will all workout.Have to believe because it always seems to.
Always tell the truth,because lies are harder to remember!
Don’t say it if you don’t mean it
You look like something the cat dragged in
Life is a canvas; the way you live your life and the choices you make, will paint your picture.
When my mom would brush my hair or scrub my teeth for a good cleaning, she would always say “It doesn’t hurt me”, to toughen me up when I whined “ouch ouch ouch!”… I do that to my daughter today… =)
Since I’m such the procrastinator I heard this line a lot “An emergency on your part does not constitute one on my part.” Taught me that she’s there to help me but I should be better at time management when it came to certain projects and responsibilities.
GO CLEAN YOUR ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hurry up and get ready, I don’t have all day!
You are not leaving the table until your plate is clean!
Have Faith things will work out
My mom always said “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right!”. Sage and savvy words to live by! I miss you Mom!

She would always say, “There’s a life before 11:00.” I was not a morning person!
Get off the phone and come and eat. (These kids and there cell phones)!
My mom always would say “don’t do anything I wouldn’t do. And if you think I would do it, still don’t do it”
My Mom’s best comment: “if you think you’ll get away with that, you’ve got the wrong Mommy”. It made you smile and think.
My Mom’s best comment: “if you think you’ll get away with that, you’ve got the wrong Mommy”. It made you smile and think.
I would always remember my Mom say “Just give it to God.” I love my mom
As sure as your living, your going to get what your giving.

I will never be mad at me as long as you tell me the truth. No matter how bad it is, I will always love you, and as long as you tell me the truth I will always be there for you.
Be careful driving, wet leaves are as slippery as black ice!
An act of kindness will go a long way
“If you make a decision that you truly believe is right for you at the time. it’s the right decision”
I would often worry about different things. Did I make the right decision? She warmly reminds me that there is no bad decision and that so long as I have done what I believe is right. 🙂
You look so pretty when your hair is out of your face.
My mom would always say “you can love a rich man just as much as you can love a poor man”.
Here’s to those that wish us well, all the rest can go to .. . .
Would you like a smack? (We always wondered why she thought we would ever say yes!)
You become more beautiful inside as you get older. Don’t forget.
Regarding her rules and what I thought was SO unfair at the time: “Wait until you have kids of your own one day. That is when you will understand where I’m coming from.”
Boy, was she ever right!! 🙂
Treat people how you want to be treated.
Even if you do not like someone…”Kill them with kindness”
‘It’s not clean enough’.

“You will always be my baby.” Not really a ‘life lesson’ but she always made sure we knew she will always love us and be there for us, no matter what.
