I have a wonderful mom and a super mother-in-law. Who could ask for more? I’ve had great examples to help me with my own mothering career. I also have a fantastic husband and great kids! This morning, in fact, my sweet daughter snuck in to my room oh so quietly to leave me a Mother’s Day card on my nightstand, then she showered and got dressed, AND wrote her own talk for primary this morning! I KNOW!<\/p>\n
I asked my dear husband if for my Mother’s Day present he and the kids would plant my hanging baskets with flowers. DONE! I feel very blessed and honored to be the mother of such wonderful kids.<\/p>\n
But, lest I gush and ramble on, let me share with you some definitions from the <\/p>\n
Mother’s Dictionary of Meanings<\/p>\n

Hearsay: What toddlers do when anyone mutters a dirty word.<\/p>\n

Puddle: A small body of water that draws other small bodies wearing dry shoes into it.<\/p>\n
