A few things my Mom taught me along the way:
Always stop to buy lemonade from children at the side of the road
Wear your seat belt
Broccoli is delicious, eat often (Spinach is yummy too)
Don't be afraid to be creative and unique
Children's Christmas dreams can and should come true
Layering
Turn off the TV
Relax and enjoy life
Children's books should be read with gusto, using different voices where applicable
Pursue what makes you happy
Keep your heart healthy
When necessary, play dumb
Dance silly around the kitchen
Set up blind dates. maybe not.
When children 'talk back' spray them with water
Long fingernails give such good back tickles
Humor can dispell a lot of difficult situations
Make friends with your kid's friends
Laugh loudly
Be conscientious of other's and their feelings, say sorry if you need to
Make friendly conversation with strangers in line at the supermarket
Sacrifice
Keep a good perspective on life

Good advice!
my favorites were: when necessary, play dumb and make friends with your kid's friends. i KNOW i've seen you play dumb over the years and i've definitely seen your mom become friends with all your CRAZY friends over the years!
happy mother's day to you and to anya!
Cute.. I like Dance silly in the kitchen... we do that...
Christy, it's been a while since I checked in... congratulations on Baby Milo! I hope you're having fun and feeling good. I also have to add that I took notes on the things you learned from your mom and I can see you being the same way... you're both great :)
I really like this list. Your mom is very wise...and clever.
