Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is Sambo's birthday.

I'm going to tell you my 9 favorite things about her

because 9 is my favorite number.

#1 Her house always smells like home,

no matter where she lives.

When I come back from her house

and open my suitcase

I’m wrapped in the smells of M-O-M.

#2 I love it when people we know say,

“OMG it must have been SO cool to have her

as your mom growing up.”

I just smile……

......because….......

.........it was

#3 She always lets me have the

best

most buttery bite of her sourdough toast.

#4 I love that growing up we woke up to

Louis Armstrong

and cooked dinner to the

Gypsy Kings.

bamboleooooooooo!!!!!!!

#5 From Junior High to College

I had a lot of friends

who she was a surrogate mom for.

I love that I never wanted

or needed

a surrogate mom,

because mine was more than enough.

#6 I love that she washes

our Christmas jammies

every year before she wraps them

so that they smell yummy

and are ready to wear

when we open them on Christmas Eve.

#7 I love that we have the same face.

:)

#8 I love that when I’m freaking out

she plays the

‘worst case scenario game’

so that things

don’t look so bad anymore.

#9 I love that all of the things I do

that are creative, cute, smart or funny

have usually been

critiqued, edited, tweaked or polished

by my mom.

My BEST work

is a result of her help and guidance.
