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

My mom is a very strong woman. She has been through a lot in her life, and she's still going. She's always got a great sense of humor too even when things are rough.

Mami has taught me so MANY invaluable lessons: if you humble yourself, you'll be exalted; you should reach out to others and serve in whatever ways you can. But most importantly, her greatest lesson to me is her LOVE. That alone has shown me what truly matters. :)

My mom raised me and my sister on her own (my dad left when I was 12) so I've always admired her strength and ability to do whatever needs to be done. I like to think I got at least some of that strength!

"You are no better than anybody...but you're just as good as anybody walking this earth." My mom triumphed over several health issues that plagued her a good part of her life. Through it all, she never complained, never asked "why me" always looked forward to the day when "she would get her energy back". She taught me how to love unconditionally. A woman of strength and grace. I am so proud to be her daughter and live my life honoring her.

My mom is special because she has endured so much pain growing up but still managed to love us fully. She is the sweetest mom.

sadly, my mother cannot be celebrated on this day due to her bad decisions. However, I have four gorgeous daughters who have become AMAZING mothers and they are raising their babies with grace, style, wisdom, patience, love and most importantly laughter. I am so proud that they are doing such a great job and have given me the never ending love of five amazing grandbabies.

My mother's wisdom to me over the years has always been treat others the way you want to be treated.

In high school my mom told me, "They may be nerds now, but the smart ones make the best providers and partners." After a series of relationships with pretentious, self-absorbed men, I finally understand what she meant. I love you mom!

My mother has been gone for a little over a year now. Two pieces of advice she gave me that I did NOT listen to and now wish I had were: Make sure you get a good education so you're not dependent on anyone else. It's just as easy to love a rich man or a poor one! I've wished so many times I had taken heed, years of financial struggling while married to an alcoholic, which also made it impossible for me to leave my child home and go to school. (This was in the old days, when there was no internet or online schools.)

I'll never forget how my mom was there for me when I told my mom about my miscarriage. She didn't know I was pregnant at the time and I had to tell her that I was and that I lost the baby. It was so hard, but she was my rock during that difficult time. She got me through that very sad time in my life.

My mom is no longer her with me but when growing up she showed unconditional love. My mother was born with polio and I never seen her out of a hospital bed. She raised me and my brother pretty much by her self. We never went out. She sacrificed alot to make sure we were took en care of.

My mother has always told me, and more importantly showed me, that no matter what, family is always first and the most important thing in life. Some of them are given family and others are chosen. You love them equally. We lost my father, my mother's soul mate, her partner of 36 years, her high school sweetheart, and husband of 34 years, in January. We have been shown and truly understand that family is not just those you're born to or share genetics and marital ties with, but those you pick up throughout life. I love you, Mom. Thank you for everything. This is family.
