I moved out the beginning of this month. When I had opened my make up bag I found this book, she had hidden it inside for me to find. :) I love my mom very much & know she loves me. This book is great & amazing to read when I'm feeling homesick or just needing a smile.

My mom gave me this book as a birthday present five months after I gave birth to my first child. It contains short, cute little messages of encouragement accompanied by endearing illustrations. Since becoming a parent, I've come to better understand the ways that I've changed my mom's life, just as my son has changed mine. Whenever I'm feeling down or I feel like being a parent is simply too hard, I can open up this book to find a message of encouragement straight from the best parent of them all - my very own mom. :)

(Yes, the review is cheesy. It's kind of a cheesy book. But I like it.)

Reading this, adding notes, and leaving it for my daughter, so she will never forget how much I love her. A great read, for anyone with a daughter. I wish I had this encouragement when I was a child.

Wonderful book, especially when your mom gives it to you and has underlined all the little parts that remind her of you. So awesome.

My mom wrote a letter to me in the cover, colored her favorite pages in, and highlighted the pages that reminded me of her.
I am lucky, and I am loved. :)
