Hi my sweet friends…I wanted to share a very special unit that I made about a month ago in honor of my precious mom. My blog title was important to me because I wanted to share about motherhood and some of the traditions my mom had that I’m passing on to my own kids. I love to keep her legacy alive anyway I can. She was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer Oct. 2, 2006 ~ I lost her April 1, 2007. 6 short months later ~ Devastation!!! I have 3 older brothers, and I’m the only girl and the youngest. We were best friends! I miss her every moment of every day.
I’ve posted this picture before – it’s a favorite. She was a teacher too and some of my best tricks in the bag are from watching her at her GIFT – She was an amazing teacher and even more wonderful mother.
Well this 133 page unit was made in honor of her. I have even included a picture of her at the end of it. I’m donating 25% of the proceeds to cancer research. I would love if you would pin it or fb it — especially if your momma is still around and you can hug her. It would mean so much to me.
It’s crazy – I was honored as the Featured Teacher of the Day for Education World last year and I was chosen on Feb. 27th – { her birthday } and then after having my products posted for a week on TPT at the end of March — guess when my first one sold?!? April 1st..the anniversary of the day I lost her. I cried when I sold that first one because I know she had something to do with it. If your mom is here with you still – give her a great BIG HUG!! Thanks for listening guys and God bless! <3
Wonderful story. I am thankful to still have my mom in my life. God Bless!
I pinned it onto a TPT board. Thanks for giving a part of it to cancer research.
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom! I can only imagine how hard life is for you without her.
Thanks for leaving me a comment and directing me to your blog! I look forward to reading more in the future!
Lots of love,
Natalie
I want to hop a plane right now just to reach out and hug my mom. Thank you for sharing your story with the rest of us. I just pinned this one, as well.

I just wanted to say, what a sweet sentiment. Reading the first part of your post made me tear up. I lost my mom to breast cancer several years ago, and losing a parent is so hard. Always nice to have and create memories—loved the picture of you and her!
