Mom Inspiration

Today is my mom’s 60th birthday and my son is exactly 6 months.  I wanted to dedicate this post to my mom and how she has inspired me in so many ways.  As I grow older and now having my son, I can’t help feeling sentimental about my relationship with my mom.  I’ve always been close to her, but since having my son, my appreciation of her is more than I can say.  She is my inspiration as a mom, wife, and woman.  My style and career in fashion were all inspired by her.  Her style has always been impeccable; fashionable yet not too trendy, and colorful and full of accessories.  Her best accessory though has to be her smile.  She has a lightheartedness that I strive to have and she pushes me to relax.

My mom has dedicated her whole life to being the best to us three kids and as I grow older I try to do the same.  Family is everything to me and now having my own family I try very hard to be in the moment to appreciate every second.  I cherish my mom’s advice, love, support, and help; she inspires me in every aspect of my life.  

Happy Birthday mom.  I love you.

(And yes, I dressed up my little guy to take pictures (getting ready for my holiday cards), he kind of looks like a chubby old man but I loved it.  He loves to smile.)
