Mothers really do know best!

Somehow they always come up with the right thing to say or do & their guidance lasts a lifetime. That’s why we’re rounding up all of their best advice in our Thanks Mom Giveaway – where you can tell us about your Mom & enter to win a $100 American Express Gift Card!$PullQuote$

For most of us, it was Mom who urged us to “think before you speak” and explained that “actions speak louder than words” – but beyond the basics, we’d love to know a little bit more about what makes your Mom so special to you? Did you inherit some of her superhero qualities? Was there a time when her advice (either hilarious, practical or wise) made a lasting impact? 

 To enter, just comment below and you'll be eligible to win a $100 American Express Gift Card!

 

 Here is the exquisite "Baby Mine" from Dumbo, sung by Bette Midler.

 Happy Mother's Day to all of our SheSpeaks Moms!!

 

Baby of Mine

 

 *This giveaway is open through May 20th to US residents over 18 years of age

 Congratulations to our lucky winner, Tikkun!

My mom has taught me many lessons over the years. One is to always find a reason to smile. There's always a reason to smile, even during life's harshest moments.

My mother has been gone now for many years, but she gave me the best advise to always remain positive no matter what might be going on in your life, that it will make you only stronger.

My mom always encouraged my 2 sisters and I to go for our dreams!! She said to always love yourself no matter who or what says different!! Never let anyone belittle you or make you feel unloved! Stand up for what you believe in!

When I was younger, I ignored most of my moms advice because I "knew everything". Made many mistakes and fell flat on my face nearly every time because of it. Now that I'm older I look back and realize she was right 99.9% of the time and I could have avoided a lot of bumps, bruises and heartache if I had only listened. I am now on the giving end with my own children and so far it looks like they inherited the "know everything" gene from mama, so I will just continue with the advice, hope they take it and if they don't, make sure I'm there to kiss the boo boos and make everything okay.

My mom has been fighting breast cancer for 7 years. I've always known she is tough, but what I've witnessed throughout these years is simply incredible. She is strong, courageous and inspiring. She is on her 29th month of chemo and still cares for others as an RN. One thing I always remember her saying to us growing up was "you won't always like everything you do in life, but do it anyway."

My mom was a single parent from the time I was 6 years old and my two younger siblings. I learned not to be dependent on a man but to be an independent woman.

My mother always taught me that beauty hurts, and being the diva that I am, I know and understand it. To me, it is sooo worth it!

The best advice my mom ever gave was "the only people you see fighting are those not intelligent enough to use words and express whatever emotions currently feeling" This has prevented several public specticals and allowed me to learn how to handle my feelings and behave appropriately when a tense situation comes up. My mom died September 3 2003 and I miss her everyday, she was incredibly diplomatic and would advise without judgment, these are qualities I'm proud to have learned from her.
