10 Things My Mother Taught Me

In honor of my moms birthday I decided to write a post about ten things that she has taught me. 

1. I am beautiful. She always tells me this, and always has told me this. Even when I was going through my awkward Jr. High. 

2.  Clean your house before any vacation. This was always something we had to do before we left anywhere. I hated it back then, but now I completely understand! It makes things so nice when you get home. 

3.  Music is important! To wake me up she used to come into my room singing "Wake up little Susie wake up!"  She was always playing the piano or singing. She pushed me to play the piano and that is something I will forever be grateful for! 

4.  Kill them with kindness. Anytime someone was being mean, this was the advice i got! 

5.  Be strong and confident. 

6.  If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. 

7.  She taught me to SHOP! Probably the most important thing. ;)

8. Be compassionate and empathetic.

9. It's okay to march to the beat of a different drum. She is always so supportive of my siblings and I, no matter what we are doing. 

10. To believe in myself. Especially in basketball! She was always my number one fan and believed in me more than anyone!  

Happy Birthday mom! Thanks for teaching me so many important things in life! Hope you have a good 30th birthday!! ;)
