Well, simply post your favorite "Momism" or piece of advice you've received from your mother here in the comments.(Don't forget to leave your contact information!) The winner will be chosen by me and my creative team on Thursday and announced on Friday! If you like these QP's please see the Peach Fuzz kit in my stores... it's a great one for Mother's Day.
To start us off I will list my favorite "MOMISMS"
"Shacking up is a road to nowhere."
"If that were true, I'd believe you."
"I have 2 dollars, 2 dollars is all I have."
"Mitch only has one speed, and it's NOT fast!"
I love my mom, she's the best. Can't wait for Mother's Day!

So glad I get these! I'm not entering, but I just had to share some sort of ISM that I heard last night:
"I don't care where you stable your pony, this man's a thoroughbred!" (Colbert in reference to a shirtless Mathew McConaughey). And I think every mother will concur!
:) B
Mine would be...
'go to your room!'
hehe!
no - not really, it would be
'when you are rich and famous you can buy one of your own!'
Then again can I enter both, I like em both now - hehe

Well I guess I'm the first to post Momisms... being the Mom... I always said to my two kids now twenty something...
"You have your lie face on"
"God is watching you"
and
"Tell me how you get to Heaven"
Happy Mother's Day to ALL
Oh and she would say...
'If you havent got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!'
This is quite apt really, I should type this on my blog header x
- eat your crusts it will make your hair curly.
- the wind will change and your face will stick like that
- don't pull your sisters hair or you will be paying for a wig!
- goodnight godbless doll face (i loved that one)
summertime is one of my favourite songs (billy holiday) because my mum sang it to me to help me sleep when i was a lil babba - it's probably one of the best things that she gave me as I know I will do it for my children (when they come along)
Most of all i would say the best thing my mum gave me was life (TWICE) she gave birth to me and saved me from a burning building when I was five (I'm not kidding she was on the front page of the paper! I still have it) so thats the best thing!
hugs to you Jenna x

My favorite piece of advice from my mother which I pass on to all young women is "30 is a good age to get married." She meant that by 30 you know your own mind and whether or not you should get married. I was just a over a year under 30 when I got married and we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in two weeks. My parents have been married for 43 years. Erin-Joi erinjoi@hotmail.com
I have always remembered this sage advice I got every time we took an automobile trip: "Don't look at dead things on the highway." Which makes some sense but what about this: "Remember well and bear in mind, a little dog's tail sticks out behind."
Strange things, I know..... My mom, bless her, is still very much alive and kicking. She celebrated her 91st BD April 30th and she and my dad (yep, he's still here too) will celebrate their 66th Wedding Anniversay on May 29th.
My favorite thing my mom said (it still makes me giggle is, "Greedy Greedy, makes a hungry puppy". She would say this when we complained about what was made for dinner and I would always adamantly explain I was not a puppy!! Also "If it isnt blood or bones dont come tell me" was one that was used a lot in our house. My mom had 7 kids, and still was able to have a perfectly clean house, laundry done, and dinner on the table by the time we came home. Amazing.

Oh, I remember one!!! "Life sucks and then you die." This was of course, said in the kindest way possible... basically, what my mom meant was that life is hard, but you deal with it, get over it, and then we pass on to something better. See, it's not so bad! :)
Never leave the house without clean underwear on!
My Mom was kinda weird like that.
So this a long one, but I love it because it's so true.
Being A Mom
Being a Mom Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I was a Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put them down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom. Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
My Mom wrote in my autograph book 58 years ago
"When you are old and frying meat - Remember me and my big feet"
Just a silly little whimsy, but cherished. Mom had feet that were hard to get shoes for back in those days, 10 5A
Another wise saying was "A penny saved is a penny earned" Mom was a very smart shopper.
Hmm I posted but it didn't get entered. Here we go again.
My Mom wrote in my autograph book, 58 years ago, "When you are old and frying meat, Remember me and my big feet" Just a silly little whimsy but always remembered. Mom did have a hard time getting shoes in those days, her shoe size was 10 5A
She also used to say "A penny saved is a penny earned" and taught us to save and spend our money wisely.

"Don't be in such a hurry to grow up, when you do time will speed by."
Boy she wasn't kidding, after I hit 40 my weeks feel like days :-(
So I pulled the same on my daughters and they didn't want to listen either. KNow they know also.

The Mother's Curse: "Just wait until you have kids!" Said when you're on Mom's bad side. When you're young you think that can't be too bad. I mean, you weren't really being difficult, were you? Ha! Just wait until you have kids.

Oh, there is one I forgot, and it was a bit of advice I should have taken. She said of my husband to be "he's a good man to date and have a good time with, but he's not the kind of man you marry." You usually hear that about women not a man and I should have taken that advice because he is now my EX husband.

I'am from the Netherlands and my mother always said: "Nee heb je, ja kun je krijgen" which means so much as: "You have a no already, so you might get a yes". This saying of hers a lot of times gave me the courage to do things I was afraid of..........

Hmmm lets see, between my Mom and Grandma these are my fav's.
~He won't buy the cow if the milk is free!
~A good marriage must be worked on everyday
~Always were clean underwear, you never now where you'll end up.
~Who needs recipes, just a little pinch here and there!
~I hope one day you have a daughter just like you! Guess what, I have THREE!!!
Thanks for the memories!
Some of my favorite Mom-isms:
"Time to get up! Your wasting the day away." This was usually our wake up call on Saturday mornings at 7 am for morning yard work.
"No half-baked jobs." I was famous for trying to get away with only doing my chores halfway...or just enough to get by. My Mom didn't like that.
"I'm so mad I could spit nails!" This was our favorite & we still tease her to this day for saying that. My older brother would usually chime in and dare her to actually spit nails...as a mom you know that just furthers your frustrations!

My mom has so many that I would roll my eyes at in my youth but now find myself using.
-You can choose your choices but you cannot choose your consequences.
- Service serves the server.
- I want to be just like you when I grow up. (that one always made me feel so special)

I'm a firm believer in "Mother School" where they learn to say things like:
Eat your vegetables, there's children starving in China.
If it itches, it's getting better.
If "everybody else" jumped off a bridge, would you jump too?
Some adaptations from my Mom's version of Mother School:
Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.
You'd complain if you were hung with a new rope.
And last but not least.....
Wear your holey underwear, if you're in an accident they'll cut if off you anyway.
"Knock it off or I'll break off your arm and beat you with the bloody stub." It was either that or "knock it off or I'm going to beat you with a wet noodle." Both said in a spirit of love.
