Quotable Friday
In Honor of Mother’s Day this weekend, one of my favorite mother quotes of all time-
“A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people,
promptly announces she never did care for pie.”
~Tenneva Jordan
Quotable Friday
“Life Moves Pretty Fast.
If you don’t stop and look around once in a while,
you could miss it.”
A Great Quote today from another character from a John Hughes Movie!
‘You Can Say Whatever You Want, But It Has To Start With Y…’
I normally share great, usually inspirational quotes, on Fridays,
under my feature,
Today I share an actual quote my 6-year-old son uttered,
“You can say Whatever You Want,
But it Has To Start with Y.”
Meaning- Yes.
Well, nobody has ever accused him of being dumb.
I wish that actually worked!
I love the mind of a 6-year-old 
Back to your day… enjoy and have a good one!
You Gotta Love Mr. Rogers…
On this rainy Monday morning,
I can always count on words of wisdom from
“Love and trust,
in the space between what’s said and what’s heard in our life,
can make all the difference in this world.”
– Fred Rogers
Have a Great Day
Great Motherhood Quote
“If the whole world were put into one scale, and my mother in the other,
the whole world would kick the beam.”
~Lord Langdale (Henry Bickersteth)
In Honor of The Inauguration: Presidential Quotes- Part 2
“No one in the world can take the place of your mother.
Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right.
She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones.”
~Harry Truman
In Honor of the Inauguration: Presidents Talk about their Moms: Part 1
In Honor of the Inauguration and this wonderful city that I call home, here is a reminder of the importance of your jobs, moms…
And that even Presidents need their mothers…
“I remember my mother’s prayers and they have always followed me. They have clung to me all my life.”
~Abraham Lincoln
Mothers are Aristocrats
“Women are aristocrats,
and it is always the mother
who makes us feel that we belong to the better sort.”
Yes, I had a stove growing up….
It started out innocently enough, we were going to Build-A-Bear yesterday and my son asked me,
‘Did you ever go to Build-A-Bear with Nanny when you were a little girl?’ (‘Nanny’ is my mom.)
‘No, we didn’t have Build-A-Bear.’
Then I blew his cell-phone-obsessed mind-
‘We didn’t have cell phones either.’
‘Did you have home phones?’
‘Yes.’
‘But you know what we didn’t have? We didn’t have microwaves when I was a little girl.’
Wow… silence… more silence… absorbing this all…
and then the most logical question:
‘Did you have Kitchens?’
‘Yes.’
‘Did you have a stove?’
‘Yes.’
‘Did you have a refrigerator?’
‘Yes, we had everything that is in our kitchen right now, except the microwave.’
‘… (with an expression now like he’s not sure to believe me)… REALLY?’
Just Another Reason Why I Love Mr. Rogers
(Do you think this looks like Mr. Rogers? Yeah, I’m thinking this doesn’t look like him either, but it was one of the pictures that came up when I entered- ‘sweater’ into Microsoft Free Clip Art and I thought the blue v-neck reminded me of Mr. Rogers… so go with me this time: that this is a picture of Mr. Rogers.)
To be serious, I just read the following quote from Fred Rogers about how important it is to nurture babies, and indirectly, how important mothers are:
“I believe that infants and babies whose mothers give them loving comfort whenever and however they can are truly the fortunate ones. I think they’re more likely to find life’s times of trouble manageable,
and I think they may also turn out to be the adults most able to pass loving concern along to the generations that follow after them.”
-Mr. Rogers
