Best Mom in southwest 2012

These days, we take everything for granted. We never just stop and think of the gifts and blessings we have. Mother is such a simple word, but to me it has an everlasting place in my heart. In my life, my mom is my North Star. I wouldn’t change a thing about her. I am so blessed to have her by my side, and some people don’t have that privilege. If you ask me, she is the best mom in Southwest. No, wait, she is not the best in Southwest, she is the best mom in the world.

The sacrifices she made for me are so huge in number that I could never pay her back. She spent her nights awake by my side when I was sick. I can think of her as my friend and can tell her anything. I can depend on her. She always knows what to say and what is good for me. She is never, ever wrong. Without her, what would my life be? I can’t even imagine it. She always knows what I am feeling or if I am hiding something. She teaches me right from wrong and how to live my life. She devotes her whole life to me, and all I can say is “Thank you, Mom, for being my teacher, my friend and my mother. Mom, I love you.”

My mom is the best in Southwest because she makes the best macaroni and cheese. She reads to me and with me.

My mom also signed me up for guitar lessons, golf, baseball and karate. She does karate with me and goes to all of my baseball games. I love my mom.

My mom is the best mom in Southwest Orlando. She is the best because she keeps my family running, she loves me and she enjoys my family. I love her very much.

My mom is the best mom ever because she does most of the chores. By this, I mean she cooks, cleans, washes my clothes and more. My mom is very nice to me. One day, when I was at a big party having a great time, she was home cleaning all by herself. What a wonderful mom.

She loves me and takes care of me. For example, she gives me things and buys me toys. One day, I remember she and I went shopping and it was the best time ever. She helped me pick out my dress for the father/daughter dance. Then, the night of the dance, she helped me get ready. When she was done, I looked like a princess ready to go to the ball.

She is the best mom because she enjoys my family. She listens to me and never stops helping my family. I remember my mom played the game Uno with us. She had chores to do, but luckily she is so nice, she spent time with us.

You may believe that your mom is the best mom in Southwest Orlando; however, I don’t agree with you. I know my mom is the best.

Why is my mom the best in Southwest Orlando? That’s an interesting question; however, it’s pretty simple for me.

My mom has always been there for me. She tries to never miss any of my soccer games, recitals and other activities. Another thing about my mom is if I want to go somewhere, like Wal-Mart, she won’t immediately jump up and say “Let’s go.” But, she will take my wishes into consideration.

My mom loves me enough to dress up like a tooth. Yes, a tooth. When I was 4 years old, I wanted to be the tooth fairy for Halloween and wanted my mom to match me ... sort of. I wanted her to be a tooth. She agreed. We got a giant cardboard box, spray painted it white; Mom dressed all in white and covered her face with white makeup. She was such a good sport about it, even when people thought she was a carton of milk.

I came across a stack of cards and pictures that I made my mom for past Mother’s Days. Some of the stuff I wrote was so funny, like she’s only 2 feet tall, has purple eyes and likes going to Disney with me.

Whether I look to the past, at the present or to the future, I believe my mom is the best in Southwest Orlando.

My mom is the best in Southwest for many reasons. She gives to others, she is fun and very loving.
She is very loving because she is always there for my siblings and me. She is the most loving person I have ever met. She cares about our pets like they are children. Whoever doesn’t know her would think that [the pets] were children the way she treats them.

My mom is also really fun. She takes me paddle boarding with her on our lake, and she goes super fast. My mom is very active. She is almost more active than me, and I do cheerleading. She bikes to school every day with me, and that is about two miles. Then, when she gets back, my mom goes on a walk that is about four miles.

She is very giving. She always gives me her lunch if I don’t like mine. My mom almost never buys things for herself. She buys stuff for us like clothes and phone cases so our phones won’t break.

My family and I like to take her out to a fancy dinner so she can relax and enjoy the moment. She still doesn’t relax, instead, she makes sure we get what we want and we enjoy it.

My mom is the best mom, not just in Southwest, but in the entire universe.

I’d like to tell you why my mom is the best of the best of all moms. My mom has encouraged me throughout my life and has been there for me from my first steps learning to walk to my first steps into middle school.

My mom has pushed and taught me to be a good friend, a good student and a good person. My mom has always told me to never give up, to be the best that I can be, don’t let them see you sweat, and stay positive and smiley. I have always looked up to my mom and how she has helped make my childhood so fantastic.

My mom and I have fun together wherever we go. We make each other laugh, and we get along really nicely. I hope to be just like my mom if I ever become a mother. I would use her mothering skills and tools.

My mom has had a huge part in how I am today and how I look at life in good ways. This is why my mom is the best mom in Southwest.

My mom is nice, sweet and caring. She always puts others first. When I was sick, she took time off from work to take care of me. When I couldn’t find something to wear, she immediately took me shopping. My mom is not very strict, but will make sure I learn my lesson, and she will make decisions that are for my own good.

My mother knows how to make me smile. When I was in kindergarten and being bullied and made fun of, she knew how to cheer me up. My mom is a perfectionist. She never settles for mediocrity and gives everything her best try. She is known for the best and most creative presents. She helps me with decorating school projects, improving homework and decorating my room. Since my mom is into designing houses, our house always looks stylish and modern.

My mom is great with children. Whenever my little cousins come over to visit us, they love to hang out with my mom. She seems to know what they are going through and feeling. They especially like coming to her when they get into trouble, because she always helps them out. When I get into a hard situation, my mom will try to understand my point of view, as well as others. She is there for me when I need her, and I try to always be there for her. My mom is not only Mom, but my best friend.

My mom is the best in Southwest. Her name is Monique. She plays with me. When she went to the store, she bought me a monster truck shirt and sweaters. My mom also bought me a Wii and lots of toys, and she cooks me Jamaican food that I love.

I enjoy going on cruises with my mom; we have a lot of fun. My mom helps me with my work, cooks my lunch and lets me play games on my computer. I love my mom very much.

My mom is the best mom in the world. She takes care of me. She feeds me and makes sure that I do not get hurt. She snuggles with me, and she buys clothes for me. She cleans with me. When I’m lonely, she has fun with me. She tucks me in and watches movies with me. She surprises me and takes me to extra-special places like out for ice cream, Chuck E. Cheese and to my best friend’s house. She gets me excited. I really love my mom.

You think your mom is good? Well, I’m going to tell you why I think my mom is the best mom in the whole wide world.

Since I’m her only child, she knows it’s important for me to have friends. But, when the other kids aren’t around, my mom does a lot with me. We play basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey and throw the football together. We also play darts, ping pong, card games and board games. We like to watch sporting events on TV, but she really loves to do things outside and travel with me so I can see new things.

The best part about my mom is that she lets me think on my own and have a part in the decision-making process at home. One of the biggest decisions we made together was whether or not we should move down to Florida. My dad has cancer, and we think he’s going to beat it, but we also know that anything can happen in life. So, Mom asked me if I wanted to move down here to be closer to him. We talked about it a lot, and I decided I wanted to move down here so I could be closer to my dad. It was a lot of work to move and change our whole life, but my mom has really tried hard to make everything work out well for me.

I know that she loves me more than anything else in the world and will always be there by my side.
