Happy Mother's Day, Mom!

I wanted to wish my mom a Happy Mother's Day by counting down the Top 3 things I loved most about my mom as a kid:

3. Playing in the country club's mother-daughter golf tournament each summer. We always seemed to have a rough go at it, but we sure had a blast making mistakes together. We even managed to win a trophy or two!

2. Every Wednesday growing up, mom and I would make a trip to Byron to pick up Dairy Queen. My hometown's DQ wasn't open in the winter, but the nearby town's was. My mom always thinks of everything and this was no exception: she had a cooler with ice for every trip to ensure the ice cream was still solid when we got home.

1. Every single morning that I spent under my parent's roof, my mom would come and wake me up by lying in bed with me and giving me a head-scratch. Now that I'm a career women always in a rush, I can appreciate what a sacrifice those 10 minutes each morning had to have been. What a truly selfless and loving thing to do and something I will always cherish!

Thanks for all you do-- I love you Mom!
