she's the best

My mom is one of my biggest supporters. 

I know yesterday I posted about how Caleb is the best, which is true. I would now like to give a shout-out to my mom, who is the best in a different way. In a "sure I'll come over and fold laundry and wash dishes and feed you soup while you work and then nap" way.

I know - it's like we're twins!!! Except she's taller. 

If you have ever met my mom, you know she is like a ray of sunshine. She can walk into a room where she knows no one, and fill it full of joy and sparkles. She can (and does) make friends with anyone. She gives great advice about relationships, hosting parties, interior decorating, and basically everything else you can think of. She is unbelievably talented at mailing awesome packages, organizing events, and coming up with creative ideas. She will drop everything to help someone who needs her help, whether it means driving one of my friends to their kid's doctors appointments or filling in as (a very talented) photographer at the last minute for an event.

She taught me how to dance around the house while singing and hang out in my pajamas until dinner. She taught me to eat sugar peas straight off the vine in the summer, and how to cook desserts with four sticks of butter. And she's the best.

That man in the background? That's my dad. He is pretty incredible too.
