best mom

1. she's hott. honestly, find another mom of 4 kids as unbelievably stunning as she is- you can't. she puts herself together so well. she has the best fashion sense, and you need to look no further than her closet to find the latest fashion trends and looks.

2. she takes care of herself. she is a workout queen. every morning- 5 am- she's up-and-atter at the gym pumping iron, for TWO HOURS and somedays she goes back in the afternoon, because she 'didnt have time to finish her workout'... QUEEN! she also runs like 20k everyday, and then goes on a walk everyday with gunner and one of her babes. (me, ella, judah, cohen, or dad) she literally sells healthy skin care and makeup- she cares about what she puts on her body. she eats well. she treats herself, but has so much self control and makes sure the food she's putting in her body is good&healthy.

3. she's hilarious. theres no one else with the sense of humour mom has. i have no idea where she gets it from, all I know is that i copy it haha. her laugh is unbelievably contagious, and it does not take much to have her laughing so hard she doesn't make a sound.

4. she has a servant heart& the most loving heart. she loves people so well. she takes in every single one of our friends as though they're her own. her home is open everyday for whoever, and she serves and loves each person that comes in. not only is her house open, her dinner table is open too. she invites each person in our home to join us for a meal and fellowship with one another. she asks questions and engages with everyone. she knows who's working where, and how they like their job. she knows what each persons plan is after highschool/ in September, and she knows who's dating who. she also knows everyones pr's haha. she serves her family so well&takes care of each of us- taking time to know our individual needs- and does it so well. she has shown us the value, importance, and beauty of sacrifice in order to serve others.

5. she is loved by everyone. people older, younger, and her age. if it breathes, it loves her. (except for cats)

6. she is wise. she values learning and growing, and is constantly listening to podcasts, reading books, or reading her bible. her advice is always understanding, kind, and extremely wise. she is a mentor to so many, and as people grow to know mom, they recognize her wisdom, and seek it from her.

7. she is a fierce protector. she lays aside all her personal desires and even needs, to make sure her kids are safe and being treated well.

8. she is kind, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in love.

9. she values truth. mom makes sure the things she believes are true, good, and rooted in the word of God. she doesn't let the world, the government, or her peers, dictate the way she lives her life. she looks into the things that matter to her, and she knows how to defend the core values she stands on.

10. she is a good wife. she serves my dad with joy and love, she respects him and his authority, and she lets him lead. the woman that mom is, compliments the man that dad is, SO well. they work beautifully together.

11. she is a hard worker. she sets goals and meets them- in every area of her life.

12. she is a businesswoman- she knows how people work, and she knows how to engage with each person she meets, incredibly well.

13. she supports and encourages me. she is my biggest fan, hands down.

14. she overflows with contagious joy. theres no other way to describe it, and its the best thing ever.

you might have read this list, and thought to yourself 'my mom does all these things too!'.... well i hate to be a debbie-downer but- mom just does it all the BEST. the way she perfectly balances all of these beautiful characteristics is the most admirable and honourable thing.

so yeah, thats why my mom's the best mom in the whole world. ive made my case.

happy mothers day mom.

word.
