Happy Birthday to all the Moms out there!
Well, as my sister said, October starts the endless birthday/holiday season in our lives...and with that a number of women’s birthdays in the next few weeks, including: Sister Leigh (28), friend Megan (27), Mom Redmond (1), Mom Mason (12), etc. So with limited financial resources, I began to start thinking about what I could do to show my appreciation. As I began to think about the role that these women play in my life, I realized that they are all mothers (among other things). So I looked up "moms" in an internet search and began to find a lot of good quotes. Here are just a few….
