A Mother's Day Hodgepodge


 

Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.

Let's compare this May to last May. What's changed? What remains very much the same? 

I can’t think of anything that has change.

What's something you may do this month? 

I can’t think of anything, other then going to the cemetery to leave a Mother’s Day card for mum.

Mother's Day is approaching (in the US of A)...in what way(s) are you like your mother? 

How am I like my mum; well, my siblings say that I am not one to judge and I am a loving and giving person like mum I am supportive like mum and give great hugs like mum.

Did you have a favourite book as a child? What was it and why was it a favourited. 

Yeah, as a child I loved the Trixie Beldon books can’t remember who wrote them but read the over and over.

Are you more of a tortoise or a hare? Explain. 

Tortoise I am one to take things slow and steady, no rushing into things for me.

Insert your own random thought here. 

I feel most of us will connect more with one child then others, I have three daughters, and everyone think my favourite is the youngest daughter, this is because she is the one most like me thus the one, I connect most with.  Our second daughter is a small, female version of her father and our precious first born is a mix of both her dad and me.  We both wanted our first born, Tim wanted our second daughter and had to convince me to have another baby, and I had to talk him into having our third daughter.

  1. What beautiful traits you share with your mom. Not being judgmental is so important - especially in the times we are living in.

  3. Fab answers!
    How lovely that you are so like your mum.
    I always say that I don't have a favourite child but it really depends on what time of the day you ask me and which of my daughters is being the nicest or naughtiest. hehehe

  5. I love both of my children completely, but I'm sure there are times I like one more than the other, depending what's going on. Loving, giving, and supportive are all wonderful traits to have. Enjoy your day!

    1. I think it is natural to love them all but at times connect more with one more then the others

  6. In what ways are you like your mother?
    I am much more like my mum than my dad because I grew up mixing with her family all the time. Everything mum valued, I found was what made my days happy - literature, theatre, ballet, European travel, foreign languages, religious holidays with big family gatherings etc.

    Dad loved vigorous sports, physics, chemistry, maths, engineering and architecture. Sorry dad.. I did not.

    1. Yes who we spend most of our time around as children has big impact on what interests us

  7. Sounds like you had a wonderful Mum and you are continuing the example. I have 3 kids and try not to have favourites - I sometimes tell them I haven't got a favourite but I don't always like the way they're behaving. I planned on having 4 but got to 3 and realised I didn't have enough hands to hang on to them all lol.

  9. Sadly nothing has changed since last May as my moving goes. I've been living in that limbo for going on three years now.
    My mom didn't like being a mother. I loved it and still do. She didn't enjoy being at home. I love being at home. We were both very optimistic, though. :)

  10. KC has been talking a lot about connecting with one of the boys over the other- but that doesn't change loving them both.
