Wisdom from Mom

 This is my mom with my son.

As moms we have such an opportunity to pass on tremendous amount wisdom to our children.  Just sit back and think for a minute about your own mother, grandmother, or even great grandma and how much they taught you over your life.  I know my own mom instilled many values that I still hold today.  My mom has been a great example of how to treat others; she has always been the kind of person to help a person out in any way she can.  I still see her doing this today in so many ways.  

When I was growing up (I’m part of the 40 something crowd, I guess that’s grown up), I don’t think there was as much focus on being health conscious like there is today.  I did learn the idea of moderation from my mom and it is still something I try to stick to.  I hope this is something that I am able to pass down to my children.   

What wisdom have you received from your mom, grandmother, or other special lady in your life?  I would love to hear from you. We can all learn so much from one another.

  3. Hello, my mom taught me compassion. I am from the same era and I also do not think we worried about our health as much back then. I enjoyed your post and if you have time Please stop by and check mine out at: http://mommiespov.com/growing-thought-mothergrandmother/

  4. So true! Just like we pass on the teachings to our kids, our moms do the same for us, especially now that we are moms too!

  5. I drink Nestle water all the time and am always very conscious of trying to get more water.

    My mom taught me quite a few things but thing that stands out the most is a strong sense of family and how important family can be and should be.

  9. Reading your post makes me think about all the wisdom my mother passed down to me. I learned everything about parenting from my mother. I saw the way she raised my siblings & myself (all 4 of us) & am now raising my littles the same way with her help.
