…don't eat quiche; they don't have time to make it.
…know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. (Even the Pampered Chef ones you just bought.)
…often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy kids.
…know that dried play dough doesn't come out of shag carpet.
…don't want to know what the vacuum just sucked up.
…sometimes ask "why me?" and get their answer when a little voice says, "because I love you best."
…know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grade. It is marked by the …progression of Mama to Mommy to Mom.

The Images of Mother:
4 YEARS OF AGE
My Mommy can do anything!

8 YEARS OF AGE
My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!

12 YEARS OF AGE
My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.

14 YEARS OF AGE
Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either.

16 YEARS OF AGE
Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.

18 YEARS OF AGE
That old woman? She's way out of date!

25 YEARS OF AGE
Well, she might know a little bit about it.

35 YEARS OF AGE
Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.

45 YEARS OF AGE
Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?

65 YEARS OF AGE
Wish I could talk it over with Mom.....

Do you know what would have happened if it had been Three Wise Women instead of Three Wise Men?

They would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts.

Pass this on to the wise women in your life!!
