Behind The Butter

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there today! Your hard work, big hearts and devotion to your families do not go unnoticed.

Mom, thank you for getting me glasses in the third grade. And for sticking up for me in the sixth grade when I got picked on for those same glasses. For not letting me come home from summer camp when I was too homesick to get out of my bunk. For teaching me how to pray. For sleeping next to me for two weeks when I got my heartbroken in high school. For letting me borrow have your shoes. For teaching me to love books more than anything. For baking with me. For unleashing hell and fury the time you found a pack of cigarettes in my purse during college (WHAT WAS I THINKING?! so not cool). For always having my back. For telling me this soon shall pass. For not letting me drop out of college to go straight to culinary school. For teaching me to always to stay true to myself. For telling me I am perfect just the way I am. For giving me the love of travel. For teaching me that laughter is the most important thing in a relationship.

Moms rock.

    Love this! I just wrote a similar post! My mom made me stay at summer camp also when I was too homesick. I am so glad she did. 🙂 Thank God for our amazing moms and all that we share with them.

    Moms DO rock. Your mom is beautiful 🙂
    And thanks for including this little segment “For not letting me drop out of college to go straight to culinary school”… because that is the exact situation I am in now. Culinary school sounds so perfect right now, especially in the midst of midterms week at ohio state. But my mom is convincing me to stay and to hold off on a culinary education until after I finish undergrad. Mom’s are always right, huh?
