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!

A special moment with my mom was when I took her to Vegas!
i like to help people just like my mother
My fav moment with my mom is when we volunteered at a home for abused teenagers !!
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.
I wish I was more like my Mom, she’s amazing! I did get my love of throwing parties from her.

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 🙂
I am llke my mother since she was kind to everyone.
I’m like my mom in the sense that we both are open minded and non-judgemental
I have my Mom’s smile!
I’m a workaholic just like her!
I say the same things she always said to me
I like The Mommy-Files on Facebook
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!

every moment i spend with my mom is special
I just gave birth to my first daughter last Monday. She’ll be a week old tomorrow!
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.
