I'm so blessed to have a mother who is has one of the biggest hearts I've ever found in a person. She gives so much of herself to everyone she meets. She taught me to cook. She taught me how to entertain. She taught me how to take life in my own hands and get things done. She gave me street smarts and sass. She showed me the importance of hard work. She inspired my love of reading.
She's wallpapered bedrooms and painted bedrooms and wallpapered again. She's painted nails and toes and still french braids my hair :) We share midnight shaves of cake, secrets, and ice cold pop. She's there to celebrate the good times and to shoulder the bad. She's my partner in binge watching any and every series.
My mom has sewed every one of my pointe shoe ribbons, and sealed each one with at least one drop of blood! She's styled thousands of ballet buns. She's glued infinitely more crystals on a single costume than is humanly sane. She's hauled costumes and caboodles and caffeine drips. She's iced sore muscles and run hot baths. You won't find her in the front row.... because she's always standing in the wings :)
She's truly one of my best friends on this Earth.....
.... and she may have started my diet pepsi addiction ;)
Here's to my wonderful, beautiful, kind, mother Carmen. She's a mother to many more than just her own kids... and I love her so so so much! <3
There would be a recipe today... but it will have to wait. I'm going to go spend time with my MOMMA <3
xo,
Annie
