what'd your mom say about it?

At age 4: Mom knows everything!

At age 8: Mom knows a lot! 

At age 12: Mom doesn’t really know everything. 

At age 14: Mom doesn’t know anything. 

At age 16:Mom doesn’t exist. 

At age 18: She’s old fashioned. 

At age 25: Maybe Mom does know about this! 

At age 35: Before we decide, let’s ask Mom. 

At age 45: I wonder… what Mom thinks about this? 

At age 75: I… wish I could ask my Mom about this

I heard this awhile back.

While googling it I put in "Mom knows everything at age 25"

I was a little off...the "poem" says 35 but for me-25 is when I had my 2nd kid, and I think REALLY realized how much I still need MY mom!

Maybe because I got married younger than most girls (21), and had babies quicker too (23 and 25)...I realized that I don't make too many decisions about..anything really without asking my mom, and dad too! 

Mom do you think I should spank?

Mom should we paint our room blue, or grey?

Mom, when you were here last night, did you see where the remote was?

Mom can you watch Curren for me please? PLEASE?

Mom can you help me set up a budget?

Mom can you help me organize Finley's clothes?

Mom can you show me what plants to plant for this season?

Mom how do I get the chickens to stop eating their eggs?

Mom, how do I tell Ryan he is wrong? (haha)

Mom how did you and dad save so much money at such a young age?

Mom should I put Curren in preschool, or keep him at home with me?

Mom how do I make your Spanish Rice?

MOM!?

These were all questions I asked my mom probably within the last week.

My mom and I had a hard time during the teen years, I am happy that time is behind us, and I wised up and am getting to know my mom as a woman, and as a grandma...and life coach/financial advisor/Gardner/....it goes on and on haha

My mom and I are VERY different in some areas, she is organized and everything is black and white, and planned...and I kind of fly by the seat of my pants, but I am getting more organized as my life is getting more busy!

Just yesterday I was trying to memorize directions to a park here in town...and she could hear me repeating them, while I was looking for my keys..and I could hear her voice in my head "Sarah put them in the same place, every time so you don't have to scurry around"... then she said, "Sarah L.A.R.S. LARS, just remember that"

LARS got it! Thanks mom! On my drive there I was thinking about how she would help me memorize my Bible Verses and vocabulary words, by making them to the tune of Jingle Bells, and different songs so I would remember them.

My mom and dad have always made me feel confident, smart, and very loved.  They always encouraged our gifts, and I never felt compared to my brother. He and I both have different strengths and they always made sure we tried our hardest, and that they were proud of us.  They always tell me how good of a mother I am, and just give us endless love.

If it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't be able to be a stay at home mom! They give us a chunk off our rent so we can live in a  house with a yard..otherwise we would definitely be in an apartment, all cooped up. 

Just tonight..Ryan is gone all night, and Finley is sick and my parents took Curren to their house to spend the night so I wouldn't have to handle both kids throughout the night solo. They are seriously the best, and I appreciate them SO much.     I REALLY would be lost (in camarillo w/ out my LARS) without them!

I started this blog as something my kids can look back on, since I suck at scrap booking. So Curren & Fin, your "Nammie" is the bomb.com!
