It's time you met my mom.
Like for real met her.
She's amazing and I feel like somehow my blog will improve in every way if I include her more.
So my loving mother has agreed to do a weekly guest post.
I have decided to call it "Life According to Mum."
That's what my brother calls her..Mum.
I don't.
She may post on motherhood, the gospel, housekeeping, family, funny things, The Bachelor, articles she reads in magazines. Mom gets free reign of my blog for one day a week. And it will be every Friday because Fridays are the best day of the week.
In a moment my mom will introduce herself...sort of :)
But first allow me to tell you a few things about her so you might see why I'm including her on here with such frequency.
My mom looks like Oprah.
She disagrees with this.
My mom laughs at herself a lot.
She has a great sense of humor and can handle practically anything.
She literally can do it all.
She is my Wikipedia. I call her for anything and everything.
I am twenty-six and I still believe my mom knows everything.
She raised my brother and I with so much love it's indescribable.
She helped us make some of the best memories.
She makes me feel good about myself every day.
She cannot operate a remote control for the television to save her life.
She says and does everything with extreme purpose...even pushing buttons on a microwave.
She reads magazines backwards.
She also vacuums the house backwards.
She eats ice like it's candy...and it's really annoying actually.
She will put away any dish or glass you sit down even if you just went to the bathroom or went to put the salt shaker away.
She is unbelievably self-less.
I sent mom a few questions...and she answered.
Ladies and gentleman I present my mom:
Q: Do you have any pets?
A: Yes, two cats that are not really mine. Eppie and Roy are like some difficult foster children. They have behavior issues.
Q:What is your favorite food?
A: Chinese food any day or time
Q: How do you spend your free time?
A: I love to read and go to the movies. I like to watch The Bachelor. I love to go shopping in every store and look at EVERY single item. Nobody likes to shop with me except Cara.
Q: Tell me about a favorite event of your adulthood.
A: Man, too many to name I swear. I might say my trip to San Diego with Shane and Shar or my trip to San Fransisco with Todd. They are a tie. My wedding is up there along with Shar's and Shane's homecoming from Brazil.
Q: Tell me about a favorite event from childhood.
A: Our first family vacation to Vernal, UT and Dinosaurland. Who takes their kids to Vernal, Utah? But it was the best thing ever! I was six years old and Danny would not shut up about seeing the trains. I loved staying in a motel and eating out for breakfast I loved the whole thing. So much so that Todd and I relived it and took Shar and Shane there when they were little.
Q:What are your hobbies?
A: Yard work, cleaning, and READING!
Q: What do you do on Sundays?
A: I go to church with my dad and then with Todd (YEAH) and we have family dinner at our house or Shar's. It is my kids, Zach, Kylie, Todd, Dad, and me. We have been having family home evening on Sundays after dinner since Shane has been home from his mission. I love Sundays!
Q: What's your motto in life?
A: I don't know that I have a motto. I just try to make the best of things, so I guess that's it. Make the best of it!
Q: What kind of people do you like?
A: I like a lot of people but I like people that are kind to others (to me:) This means not talking about people or treating people in their families unkind. People that try to make the best of any situation they are given in their life. I admire them. I actually really like Sharlee and Shane. They are two totally different types of personalities. I like optimistic people. And I love a sense of humor. LOVE IT!
Q: What are you best at?
A: I am pretty good at cleaning when I have time. I don't have a lot of talents so I try to be decent at it.
Q: Who do you respect the most?
A: Marty for her strong beliefs and living them.
Q: Who has had the most influence on your life?
A: Shar and Shane. This is true as having them has had a profound effect on the way I have chosen to live my life. Also my mom and dad because they taught me so much: good work ethic, faith in God, and love of family.
Q: If you could attempt anything and not fail what would you be?
A: A writer.
Mom, here's your chance. You get to write for the world to see. Thanks for doing this mom, I love you so much!
Readers, you will fall in love with my mom. Look forward to next Friday when Mom makes her debut!
