Day 3 Challenge

My Favorite Photograph of my Best Friend


My Mom...my Mom is my Best Friend. I don't know if I would have said that about 8 years ago. Then I probably would have said Craig, and he is and always will be my best friend as well. But he is my best friend in a different way. Or maybe I would have said one of my girlfriends. I do have a lot of close girlfriends that I love very much. But now and probably since I have gotten older and wiser my Mom is my best friend and always will be. I love my relationship with my Mom. I can talk to her about anything and she always has advice and a way to fix things! Maybe because she is a therapist...but I am so glad she is so I don't have to pay to go to one! LOL! I am always calling her for answers and she always has an answer for everything, whether it be how to fix something in the house, or a cooking question, or a kid question. It is so true the saying, Mother always knows! We go on morning walks on Wednesdays, (although we haven't in about a month, we need to get on that Mom) and I love that time together. An hour for us to talk and not really have interruptions from the kids! We are over at her house all the time. Sometimes 3 nights a week for dinner! She is home on Wednesdays and Fridays and it never fails that we are not over there! In my last post I said I love living close to family, if we didn't live this close there is no way we could spend that much time together! I don't think I could live any further! Sometimes I think maybe we should give them their space, but for me losing my Dad at a young age, I want to spend as much time with her as I can and want my kids to as well! My kids love going there. They have just as many toys there as they do at home, they love playing in her yard, or going swimming in the summer. She is such a big help in so many ways and has supported me through some really tough times. I don't know what I would do without her!
I love this picture of her and James because my Mom loves to cook and she does it SO well! And James LOVES to cook with her. Well he likes to cook mostly desserts with her! Here they are making his favorite Lemon Ricotta Muffins!
I love you Mom!
