First of all – a great big, huge THANK YOU to all of you who really came through for me. A big thanks to all of you who gave into my whining and left a comment!!
We had 228 comments – a record here on Your Homebased Mom!! Thank you, thank you! You made my day!!!
The best of part of it though was reading all the really wonderful comments that you left. All the amazing things that you shared that your mother had taught you! I am better for having read them and now have a list of things that I know I need to do better as a mother! Thank you!
I am excited to announce the winner of the beautiful Lotus Girl Jewlery is
#98 - Sara
Here is what Sara had to say about what her mother taught her:
“My mom taught me to be selfless “
Thank you Sara and congratulations on winning TWO beautiful necklaces from Lotus Girl Jewlery. Happy Mother’s Day.
I’m off to April of Lotus Girl Jewlery’s house right now to pick up a little something for my mother for Mother’s Day and something for me too – I couldn’t resist!!
Happy Mother’s Day Weekend!!






















Squeal!! I am so excited! Thank you so so much!
Hi Leigh Anne–
I’m a one-handed fan of yours (I have babies occupying my other hand pretty much all of the time), so I don’t know if I’ve ever commented. I found your site through Nurse Heidi. She’s my sister-in-law. I made your jam cookies around Valentine’s Day and my Beehive class LOVED them. And I can’t wait to try out those headbands with my little girl. We were going to do it this weekend during the Father/Son campout, but opted for Friendship bracelets instead. Your balsamic dressing is my new go-to dressing and my husband made the balsamic pork roast a few weeks ago and those glorious little garlic bits nestled in the pork are not easy to forget. Mmmmmm. Thanks for a great site! And thanks for introducing me to Pioneer Woman–another fun site. I’m hooked on you guys.
