A couple weeks before Halloween my Mom surprised me with one of her famous packages. She sends me a package for every holiday! I love her so much! When I found the package I got so excited because I can always count on all kinds of fun things inside. The minute I opened the box I smelled my Mom. Is that weird? I started looking through the package and there was the cutest purse full of treats and cute little halloween bags for me to hand out to other people. My Mom made this "All Hallows Eve" banner for me to hang up in my apartment because she knew my roommates and I were wanting to make our little home festive! The banner is actually still
hanging up. I should probably take it down but it's just so hard to because I know it's really cute and it's fun to tell everyone that comes over and asks about it that my Mom made that. I'm so lucky I have a mom who is so creative! I kept examining my purse and there's about a bazillion pockets and in one of them was Victor and Ralph Flower Bomb!(If you know me, I've been obsessed since it came out) This is why when I opened the box it smelled of my Mom! I remember talking to my Mom one day and just mentioning to her I am running out. So she decided to send me some for Halloween.I really don't know a greater women in the world then my Mom. She loves giving! Every time I get a package from her it's full of great surprises and things that I had forgotten that I even mentioned to her I wanted. I think the greatest part is that she remembered my friends. She made sure that I would have something to give other people. Ever since I was little she has taught me to remember others. Whenever I talk her she is always giving me ideas of things I can do for my girls I visit teach, friends and all the people around me. I cannot wait to go home for Thanksgiving. We have some fun projects we are wanting to work on while I'm there. Which is another reason why I love her. She is so talented. Through her I have a greater appreciation for music, art and just the simple things in life.
Mom, I love you! Thank you for every little lesson you have taught me and for everything you do for me, Lauryn, Taylor and Dad! I can't wait to see you soon!
