Thanks for the great giveaways! Happy Mother's Day to you Ali.

My Mother taught me to accept everyone - regardless of appearance or religion. Unconditional Love is the supreme gift.

If there was something I was upset about and it was late in the day, my Mom would always say: get some sleep, everything looks better in the morning. And you know what, she's right!

My mom is one of the most wise people I know - she taught me to treat others as I would like to be treated...and was/is a model of this always. It doesn't matter who you are, she is always kind, caring and considerate and makes everyone she meets feel like they matter. I feel so lucky to have had her influence in my life!

My mom is a hugger. I can vividly remember sitting on her lap as a child and her holding tight to me. I now don the same to my kids and I think that close, physical contact is so important.

My mom taught me by example showing that it is never too late in life to follow your dreams and pursue what makes you happy.

The actions of so called "loving" male family members do not have to define the woman you become.

Mom taught me that what you do with your money early on makes a big difference later. I didnt take all of her advice and I sure wish I did!

That running course looks amazing!!! Thanks for the chance! Happy Mothers day!

my mom taught me to take my time sizing up asituation and not show your hand right away, as well as showing your love and creating special moments
on purpose.

My mom used to say 'if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.'

My mom said "don't look back, just keep going".

My mom showed me how to be kind. She wasn't much on sayings, but she sure lived compassion.

My mom always tells me that your kids will never say "I wish Mom had spendt more time cleaning the house." But a lot of people wish their parents spent more time with them. So when I'm faced with the huge mountain of laundry, but my kids desperately want me to go on a bike ride with them, that makes the decision easier. The laundry, etc. will still be there anyway! Thanks for the chance to win!

My mom's had to do with the dinner table: you can always get more, but, you can't put back. Miss you mom!

I think my mom taught me self confidence and to not be afraid to be different from everyone else; in fact I think that was encouraged. And I am proud to see that I have passed that on to my own 2 children!

My mom used to always use the phrase, "Am I going to have to separate you two?" when my brother and I would fight as children. I realize now that it was her way of saying we needed to get along because we were all that each other had. I sure do miss you, Mom. This is the hardest holiday for me to get through, even though I am a mother, myself.

My mother told me to always wear my best stuff - not to save those outfits that I bought just for some special occasion.

To do what you want no matter what everyone else thinks, and that she will always support me no matter what!

My mom taught me everything I know about being a mom.

My Mom taught me how to give to others; she was always helping others. She gave platelets to help save a young girls life. During a snow storm when the turnpike was closed she opened her doors to stranded travelers. We called her Clara Barton but her giving spirit was passed on to me.

Mother always said that kindness goes a long way in this world...that even in our worst days there is something to be thankful for, a smile to share, an encouraging word...
