Oh man! Thanks for commenting @beeyou! I had completely forgotten! And thats a wonderful idea, I think Ill go with it!
I want to talk about my wonderfully sweet, compassionate, beautiful mother, @mamajeani! She has always been the mother to everyone. Her name on here is mamajeani because thats literally what shes been called since I was in middle school and my sister in high school. Shes always been the one that makes dinner for all the kids whos parents always worked or just werent around. Every weekend, we would have big get together of our friends and family with a big dinner for all to share. Thats where my love for cooking came from. She has shown me how to be the perfect mother by simply being her. Shes taught me how to be the perfect person by simply being her. Shes taught me how to forgive and let go, no one needs the weight of the world on their shoulders from that. Shes taught me how to appreciate the little things, to smell the flowers, to just have the damn cake! Shes made me who I am and Im so proud to be her daughter. Shes perfect... <3
Hi @smylie2005. Just wanted to send a quick note to let you know I saw your post. You made it in, and very sweet you chose your mom. I didn't know she is your mom! We highlighted several of her posts on the @newbieresteenday account.
I will comment on your sweet words to her when I have a moment to read in detail. Didn't want you to think I didn't see your post. :)
Oh great! I wasnt sure if Id get it in on time, its seems like my bandwidth takes longer and longer to to work out. It was out from 10- noonish, now its taking until almost 2pm to kick in. Glad I made it! Thanks for dropping in to let me know!
Hi @smylie2005. I finally had a chance to read all about your lovely mamajeani. She too is another giver, like Sharon's Ma (kismet2018). I admire those that open their hearts and hearth to people less fortunate. I know as a kid, I used to go to my family or family friend's home when my parents had to work late. They all opened their door to me and I would have been considered one of those kids your mamajeani cooked a grand meal for and fed.
Thank you @mamajeani for sharing your love with others and sharing your wonderful recipes with others! I am going to find the time to make one of them these days and let you know how it goes. Either your recipe or @smylie2005, who posted this beef tip recipe I've been wanting to try. :)
btw, I will randomly choose a winner shortly. Thank goodness I don't have to judge. So many great entries.
Truth... I couldnt imagine having to pick a winner from these entries! It was a great contest, thanks for the shot! :)
Be sure to check out my winner announcement post.
