Now that I have my own daughter I can appreciate all the good my mom has taught me. I think she has taught me to be the best mom I can be to my daughter. Watching this sweet video The Happiest Daughter makes me teary eyed because my mom always made sure my sister and I were always happy.
I remember when I was younger having to downsize our home. It was a little scary at first and I was unsure how I would like the new place and neighborhood. My mom made the home so comforting and homey with her special touches in our room and her special treats that it automatically felt like home. Even though it was different and smaller by mom always taught us to see the good in everything you are experiencing.
My mom made me a happy mom. I show my daughter that there is good in everything. I want my daughter to grow up as happy as I was when I was a kid. Though we didn't have everything I wanted I always remember being happy because my mom showed us that all you need is to be creative with what you have.

How are you Celebrating Good during Mother's Day? What life lesson have you learned that makes the best out of everything?
I think the best advice that I have to 'keep good going' is to focus on the positives even if they are little things. No matter how tough life is at any given time, there are positive things and good people to be found if you look. Keeping your mind focused on them makes you happier overall, I think.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. I can't wait until I have kids of my own, so I can teach them like my mom and grandparents taught me as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, and wonderful information.
ReplyDeleteBeing a mom is the best! I have four boys and I we try focus on the positive and try to have a positive perspective even in negative situations. It helps!
ReplyDeleteI love to see it when companies are being supportive of our communities and families and giving back.
ReplyDeleteI have social spark but never know how it works. I better check it again, I got interested about the company because of these post. This post is very sweet too. You really love your mom :) <3
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful mom and she taught you how to be a good mom in return. You are very fortunate.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture of two awesome women. Great story. Thank you for sharing your mom
ReplyDeleteWe celebrated Mother's Day with a simple lunch and get together with maternal relatives. Moms are simply the best. We love everything about our mother. :)
ReplyDeleteBest life lesson... stop caring what others think and do what your heart tells you to do. There is no limit in succeeding.
ReplyDeleteThis is so wonderful. Thank you for sharing. What a great opportunity.
ReplyDeleteMy best life lesson is to never take any one for granted because it may be the last time you get to see them.
ReplyDeleteYou are a great mom because of your mom raised you.
ReplyDeleteOur Mother's Day was quiet and low-key, just the way that I like it.
ReplyDeleteWe had a extended family day, and my wife said she had a great day..
ReplyDeleteI had a wonderful day with extended family for Mother's Day. And I really feel like God is constantly teaching us ways to make the best out of each situation!
ReplyDeleteI think the best advice is to focus on the positives rather than the negatives. It's a whole different perspective that can make big changes in your life.
ReplyDeleteGood Mom! We moved too-a lot and my Mom would do the same for us!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I call a positive mom! Keep up the positive work!

ReplyDeleteSounds like your mom taught you well. Your mom did for you what moms should do. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletesounds like a great example for all moms....
ReplyDeleteHappy Mothers Day! SOunds like you have a great mom!
ReplyDeleteMoms are so important in developing happy children, especially girls.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I am keeping good going by loving my children and pointing out all the good things in life that we see. :) I try to teach them compassion through my acts.
ReplyDeleteI've learned not to compare myself with others. I used to envy all the toys and vacations my siblings have but then I realized that those were things I didn't even want.
ReplyDeleteAw...that is sweet!
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky to have such a good and caring Mom who taught you to be the same.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Mother's Day is over. there is so much stress involved in our 'Day off". We work so hard as women , it's hard to take a complete day off.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo of you and your mom! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your picture. My mom is my rock. I'd be lost without her
ReplyDeleteBeing a mother is a great feeling. I love your picture.
ReplyDeleteAww this is so beautiful.. Thanks for sharing the wonderful video with all the readers :)
ReplyDeleteJust this morning I was talking with my mom about how she never ever called me a mean name and I didn´t do it to my kids either. They also respect each other. There are more good things but this is what caught my attention today after witnessing a not-so-nice conversation between another mom and her boy.
