MY THOUGHTS

If you’re looking for a book that talks about the bond shared between mothers and daughters, then this is the book for you!  It’s a great book for either a mother to give to her daughter or for a daughter to give to her mother.  My favorite sections of the book were “A Mother’s Love” and “The Face in the Mirror.”  A big thanks goes to Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing for another great book in the series!

  1. The older I get the more I become my mother. When I catch a reflection of myself in a mirror in passing, I even look like her. My mother is a great Mom, so it’s a good thing.

  2. Like the other comment I just posted, I had a baby girl 13 days ago. She left the hospital with me on Mother’s Day. It brings a whole new meaning to the day 🙂

  3. I am like my mom in the way that I put my child above myself. She is always so loving and supportive and I hope my daughter will see that in me!

  8. Even though I work full-time outside the home, I like to think I am careful about paying attention to my daughter’s interests and give her plenty of mommy time – just like my Mom did.
