1. 3 to 5 times a year my mom would come to my school just about when the lunch bell would ring and take me out to lunch on my lunch break. My friends were so jealous and it would make me feel so special to have that time for just the two of us.
2. Right after my parents got divorced when I was seven years old we had a particularly hard day. Sensing the tension my mom went and gathered a bunch of old news papers, brought them to us and told us to rip them to shreds with all our anger. We ended up having a blast covering the living room floor with ripped up news paper and taking turns burying each other up with piles of the shredded news paper.3. On days that we (my four siblings and I) had to deep clean the house which was like bi-monthly my mom would blast her stereo with old 70’s pop hits (mostly Cher and Donny and Marie) that we couldn’t hear each other talk let alone argue or complain. We would all end up literally dancing and lip singing around each other while completing our chore list. My mom leading with the silliest dance moves.
4. A couple of friends at the beginning of jr. high started treating me badly and ignoring me. (pre teens are not very good at picking friends) When my mom saw how hard it was on me she came up with the idea of having a fun dress up/photo shoot party and only inviting my good friends. The party was a huge success and the ones that were not invited wished they had been.
5. The summer before my sophmore year my mom took us on mini vacations every weekend all over Utah. Spanning from Friday to Sunday. We visited LDS church history sites, national parks and my favorite was exploring the caverns of Timpanogas Caves!
Thank you so much mom for implanting the
creative seed in me so early on with your example.
I love you so much. Happy Mothers Day!
