«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 493 of 493My mom is amazing because no matter how OCD she is with cleaning she never says a word to me about the mess my kids make in her house while we are living here...she just loves us no matter what and that makes me love her so much more!
I can think of nothing better than turning out to be like my lovely and generous mom. I love her more with each passing year, and I would love to gift her with something from your site for Mother's Day. Thanks for the chance!
My Mum is my inspiration, she has helped me to sew and start my own small sewing venture, she is now coming with me to my first markets. She was here with me sewing till late, and will get up early to come with me. I love my Mum!
What a lovely giveaway!
My mom is my best friend. She knows me better than anyone and is the only person that I know who will be always there for me.
Thanks for the chance.
I love my mom! Her support is so special to me!
MY MOM IS THE BEST!!!
My mom has always been one of my best friends. She was and still is always there for me. I never quite knew the sacrifices and hard work she put in to being a mom until I had my own children! I love her very much!!
This year my Mother is a new Grandmother. It would be wonderful to be able to thank her for all of her prayers along the way. She is my best role model, and I thank God for her every day. I wouldn't be a mom myself without her.
My mom is my everything. She is my friend and is always there for me. I can only hope that as a mom now I am even 1/3 of the mom she was to me and my siblings.
my mom is there for me whenever i need her. she loves my kids so much and is loving, caring and helps out where it is needed! if i won i would pick something out for her!
My mom is my hero! She was the best grandma to my three boys and I think about her every day! We lost her to the angels 9 months ago!
My mom is never too busy for any of her children, even when she's crazy busy! She's the best mom ever!
LOVE my mom she is the greatest and comes to visit us anytime she can thanks mom
My wonderful mom is coming over to my house today to help me organize my closet so that no one turns me into that "hoarders" show! She is great at everything but super gifted at organization. Sadly that talent was not passed on to organizationally challenged me. Happy Saturday!
I'm lucky to have two moms (my mom and mom-in-law) that I love very much. They're both so easy to talk to, cry with, and laugh with.
My mom is my #1 supporter. We live thousands of miles apart, but she's coming to visit next month and she will be here for Mother's Day! I'm so excited!
My Mom is amazing, she put up with years of swim practice and trombone lessons. She put her career on hold to stay home and raise me. She has been involved in my schools, teams, and extra curricular activities my entire life. She has been there through good and bad temper tantrums and bad moods. Now that I am adult she is always there to give me advice or just lend a helping hand. I only hope I can be half the Mom that she has been.
My mother makes the best grandmother! I know that there are many other things that I could say, but these days she saves my sanity by watching my children.
my mom was who gave me my first digital SLR camera, which birthed my passion for photography, which has given me SO much. I'm forever grateful.
My mom deserves more of my love and attention than she had experienced untill now. Our life together was not a smooth and easy. inspite of that she is closest person to me.

my mom is always there for me...even when I don't want her to be...just kidding (a little). But I love her very much.
My mom is one of the most generous people I know.
Oops, I'm sorry for the double comment! I thought my comment didn't go through so I reposted today!
my mom sits and plays games with my kids... a blessing.
My mom is the best grandma to my kids. She is so creative with them and engaged when she's with them. They just adore her, and I adore her for being such a wonderful Grammy!
I know I can always rely on my mom to be there when I need her. ♥
My mom is the most creative person I know. LOVE her to bits.
I feel so lucky to have the mother I do. I've been married for 5 years and I still talk to her on the phone at least once a day...sometimes two or even three times a day! She always makes time for her kids no matter how busy her day is. She's the best! Love her.

My mother is my rock and my comfort. I am able to go to her for anything and she has supported our family through some of the roughest years we've had. Through the still birth of my younger brother, she comforted us and stood strong. Through the recent removal of tumors from my breast and brain, she held my hand and stood by me through every single operation and doctor's appointment. She is truly a remarkable woman, dedicated to serving her family and community. She is my rolemodel and I truly would be nothing without that amazing woman!
My Mom is my best friend. She means the world to me...she is the kind of mother that I *hope* to be to my little guy.
My mom is (and always has been) my bestfriend, it just took some terrible teenage years before I realized it.
My mom is one of the most thoughtful people I know, she still sends me little notes and cards for Valentine's Day, my boyfriend's and my anniversary, etc. And she does that for all FIVE of my siblings and my two cousins that she raised as well!
My mom can always be counted on in a time of need!
My mom always has put us first in her life before herself, and only now that I am a mom myself do I realize all that she has done for me! It is an amazing thing being a mom and I hope to be just as good as she was!
My mum know's me inside out, if I've had a rough day and she calls, all I have to do is say hello and she'll be round. She's the best.
Every year as I grow older, I value my relationship with my mother more and more. The older I get, the more I understand how special she is, and how incredibly lucky I am to have the great relationship that we have together. I also see our relationship changing, as who needs more support and help changes over time. I am grateful to be allowed to know her, and continue to have her in my life.
I tried to post this earlier, but I don't see my comment. Please don't think I'm cheating if I overlooked it. :)
My mom passed in 1999 but she made the very best baked ham. It was so moist and fall apart tender...
Sadly, my mum passed away a few years ago.
Everyday I realise I am more like her than I thought and though I don't have her ability to knit such intricate patterns, I owe all my art and craftiness to her.
My mother means the world to me. She is a truly amazing woman. I just had my own child, and have moved far away from her and have really been missing her lately. I'm starting to realize just how much she sacrificed for me. I hope I can be that kind of mother to my children.
my moms basically the best. i dont see how life would be without her.
My mom rocks! She's such a strong woman and one of my closest friends. People say we're a lot alike and I couldn't be more proud of that. We've been known to go shopping seperately and end up buying the same items for ourselves. I can't imagine my life without her. I love my mom!
My mom is my inspiration and my role model for being a parent. If I can be just half the mother that she is I will be happy.
Mum=Unconditional Love
my momma (aunt momma) is a breath of fresh air. she is never fake, but always real, I feel like a blessing was given directly to me from God. Thank you!
My mom is the rock of our family. I love her dearly
my mom is a wonderful grandmother. she takes such a genuine interest in her grandchildren and what activities they are involved in at the time. she is a great gift giver. if i {or my kids or anyone} mentions something they like or are saving for generally it will show up in a box at some point. she spoils us rotten. i love that my mom taught us to give and serve others and she taught us how to hold it all together during stressful/crisis times. she is a rock.
My mom would do anything for me. When she comes to visit, she just wants to hang out with the grandkids, she helps me clean my house and cooks.
Oh I could go on and on but the one thing that she's really been an example about is always serving and loving others.
My mom has done all right for herself despite having bad eye sight all her life. It was only when I was a teenager that she learned that she was legally blind.
I think after I had my own kids, I realized even more what my mom did for me. You sacrifice so much being a mother. I am so grateful for her and love her so much. She is my best friend.
My mother is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I hope I can be half the mother she has been to my own boys!
I love how my mom looked at each one of her kids as an individual, saw our different giftings and did what she could to develop each one of us in those areas.
My mom is totally selfless, kind, sweet, friendly, and the epitomy of what I can only strive to be. She works full time & takes care of her 90 yr old mother also. She has no life for herself really, it revolves around my grandmother's needs 24/7. She is an encourager, upbeat, and is just an amazing person!
I know I'm late at commenting on this from yesterday but my mom is the most amazing mom on this planet. She loves unconditionally, she is understanding and Awesome! Last year for Christmas my brothers and I ordered a braclet from you with all her grandkids names on it and she wears it with PRIDE! Words can't describe how awesome my momma really is!!! I just hope I am as awesome to my kids and my mom is to us!
My mom is always there for me no matter what.. I dunno what id do with out her.. shes the best mom ever!
My mom is such a support to me! She's always willing to listen to any problem and offer love overflowing when I need it.
i am an only child. my mom sacrificed for me, but didn't spoil me. she loves my dad, and gives me a model of a good wife. she loves my 3 girls and gives me a sounding board for my parenting.
she loves me unconditionally.
my mom brought me breakfast to my room my junior and senior year in high school. nothing fancy but it was breakfast. this would be our time to chat in the morning and catch up with each other. i love my mom & even though it has been years since she brought my breakfast i would love to get her something to say THANKS!
My mom is always there for me, and always puts people first. I admire her for the strength that she gives her family.
my mom may be busy with my nine other sisters, five of which live at home. but she always finds time to catch up with me on the phone or give me a random call that she loves me.
My mom is an independent free spirit and has taught me to be the same. Over the years, I've become more and more grateful to her for that.
I'm blessed and lucky to have 2 mothers! My mother and my lovely mother in law. Bot have their own personalities, different ways of showing love, but we are able to connect on so many levels. My mother sacrificed everything for me, and constantly goes out of her way to help me and will give you the shirt off of her back for you. As we grow older, our bond is growing and becoming stronger. My mother in law is the best spiritual teacher that I could have, she is always there to listen and guide me in the right direction. I love you both will all my heart...to the moon and back!! xoxoxo
My mom is a prayer warrior for our whole family! It means so much to know she is not only praying for my husband and I but also for our grown children and our grandchildren!
My mom is my best friend. I recently had to move across country from her and it's been really hard, but we talk at least once a day. And in 4 days, I get to fly home to see her...and bring her new grandson too!!
Had planned to get my mom one of your necklaces for mother's day but I waited a little too long and now it's unavailable. :( A gift certificate would be wonderful!
I'm in Tulsa too and am so excited to hear that you may have a brick-and-mortar store soon!
My mom is truly one of kind. I can't even begin to express just how much I appreciate her. She is one of the kindest, most wonderful human beings that ever walked this earth. She is amazing and I love her with all of my heart. I honestly don't know what I'd do w/o my mom.
My mom is the best mom ever! She is a great listener and will do anything for us! She is kind and loving. I love my mom!
MY mother. Makes me a better mother every day, just by being by my side as I raise my own gaggle of geese...
My mom is my best friend. I would never have imagined that I would need my mom as much as I still do. She is wonderful!
There are not enough words to express what a spectacular woman Lorri Buck is. She is kind. She is loving. She is the kind of mom I strive to be. She loves her kids with a love that could move mountains. And I am writing today because she loves me in a way more meaningful than I can explain. You see, Lorri Buck is not my mom. BUT, Lorri Buck IS my mom.I lost my parents when I was young. But from (practically) the moment I met Lorri, she has accepted and loved me. It didn’t matter where I came from, or what my history was. All that mattered was that Shaun loved me. That was enough for her!
Shaun and I met and started “dating” in July of 1999. By that Christmas, December of 1999, - Lorri was signing her name to my presents as “Mom.” God was so gracious in His gift of a “mom” that Christmas. I love her just like she is my mom.
I have has this wonderful GODLY woman to turn to through many of the milestones in my adult life. Getting married, having kids, loosing Riley… The list goes on. Lorri is human and does not always say the right things or do the right things, but her intentions are always pure. I am sure that ANYONE you ask would agree to that. She always tries to love.
Today I had a bit of a hard day. I went and had my nails filled. I brought the book I am reading right now - Safe in the Arms of God by John MacArthur. It is about what happens to babies when they die. I sat in the nail salon and was finding it hard to concentrate on my book, so I began to people watch. It was only about 2-3 minutes later that a mom walked in with a gorgeous little blond girl. This girl was not more than 6 years old. She had striking blue eyes that reminded me of Tyler. She had cute little curls at the end of her long hair. It looked as though her mom has never cut off those baby curls. This mom told the receptionist that the two of them would like pedicures. Then the mom called her daughter over to look at polish colors. She called her Riley.
I had to choke back the tears as they came rushing for my burning eyes! This beautiful little girl, whom I was already admiring, was named Riley. The rest of the time there, I sat and stared at this little girl. Then back at her mom. Then back to Riley. I couldn’t stop the questioning on my mind. Was my Riley a girl? Was I missing the opportunity to take my baby girl out for an afternoon of pedicures and quality time? In hind site, I probably looked creepy to this poor little girl. I couldn’t help but to stare and stare. Her mom kept giving me kind smiles each time that our eyes met. That helped more than she will ever know. I left the nail salon after giving one last glance to Riley and to her mom. I really wanted to go and to say something to her mom. Something like, don’t take any moments for granted. Or maybe even, give her lots of hugs. In my mind they all sounded dumb so I didn’t say anything. I just left the salon with two feelings. One of joy thinking about that afternoon that mom and her daughter must be having and the second feeling was of longing for that feeling with my Riley.
As the day continued, Lorri called. She said that she was just calling to tell me that she was thinking of me. I told her about my afternoon and how hard it had been. We talked and talked. As we were preparing to end our conversation, mom told me something I have never been told in my adult life. (maybe even ever!) She told me that she was proud of me. Even as I write those words, I am fighting back the tears! Mom told me all the reasons she is proud of me. All of my life I have been told that I have disappointed the various people in my life, some living and some dead. I have been told that my choices are “not what we would have chosen for you.”
I am fully aware that it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks of you. The only One that matters is God. BUT, what a gift I was given today in those simple words. So I end today’s post with Proverbs 31. Although mom will never agree - In my eyes it describes her!
My mom is always there when I need her!
My Mom is the best! She sure knows how to bake awesome cookies :) and is my bestest friend ever.
I love my mom! We still talk on the phone every day. She is such an example to me, and I don't know where I'd be without her !!
My mom is still the person I turn to the most, even though I'm 37 and have kids of my own.
my mom rocks! she drops everything to help us out! best babysitter, grandma, mom out there! love her!
My mom is incredibly generous.
my mum is amazing. she speaks six languages and now speaks french to my own children. she continues to keep me eduKATEd.
love X
My mother is not longer with us, and never got a chance to meet her grandkids. I still hear her daily in my own words. It is funny how many things you repeat that your mother told you. I actually told my daughter the other day she is getting too old for her britches!! she looked at me and said " to old for my bridges?"
Amazing the effect our mothers have on us, even when they are not longer physically around!:)
My mom is awesome! She became a single mom when I was 18 months old. she worked hard at her "day" job and then at night she worked hard starting her own business. In a few years she was able to continue her dream of being home with me by having her own successful business. It was that important to her. It was also very important that I go to college so no matter what I wouldn't have to struggle with money like she did. She made it happen and I can't thank her enough.
My mom is amazing! I don't know what I would do without her! I have a lot going on right now and she is supportive, available, and full of compliments!
I hope I can be the same for my daughter!
LOVE your designs!
My mom is always there for me...through thick and thin. She's been there during the happy and the sad times. It's a great feeling to know I can always count on her.
My mom took in both of her parents. My grandfather passed on last year and we found out today that my grandmother has cancer. It won't be long for her. My mom stuck it out even though it has been difficult.
I actually came here because I saw a photo of a necklace on someone's blog and the names were Anna and Henry. My grandparent's names. The Lord always knows how to bring comfort in sad moments.

My mom is the best because she raised me as a single mother and never once did I hear her complain about all the work falling onto her shoulders. I have my husband who is a wonderful help and somedays i am so overwhelmed I say out loud "I have no idea how my mom did this all by herself"
My mom is an amazing woman. She has had so much to deal with throughout her life and she stays so strong. I love that about her. I'm not so sure I could have done as well.
PS. Love the Skillet on your blog!
My mom is an a strong women and these days dealing with a mentally ill daughter....has shown the strong get through. Lord bless my Mom...I don't know how she gets through each day.
Jayme Christensen: My mom, is a trooper. She has been through a lot in her life. And yet she seems so strong. I give her a lot of flack, and every once in a while, I have to remember that she does the best she can.
So excited about your beautiful designs I forgot to enter! My Mom is my best friend. We moved 500 miles away but we talk on the phone daily, at least once.
Found your blog through TMC and I absolutely love your designs, they're beautiful.
