Moms of the Day

In honor of Mother's Day, and because I feel like getting all sentimental, I'm doing a tribute countdown over the next four days. Each day I'll feature one of the four important women who have helped shape who I am and the way I mother my children. Each of these women has made me want to be better in every aspect of life, from how I spend my days to who I am becoming as a woman, wife and mother.

Who are your favorite moms? Blog about it, you'll feel better if you do.

Here we go, Mom number one . . .
