With Mother’s Day approaching this Sunday, we are celebrating ALL moms, and especially our own. Some team members at Baby Be Hip have each shared pictures and stories of their awesome moms in honor of their special day!

Colleen: My mom has always provided me, as her daughter and now as a fellow mom, with the great advice. She has always said the most important things for a balanced life are the “Five Fs”:

1. Faith: Growing up, friends lovingly called my mom the “Church Lady”. She taught me the power of prayer and that when you pray, you have to really ask for what you want. This has meant the world to me as I’ve navigated the tough times in my life.

2. Family: The greatest gift is your family, even though at times, some family members may drive you crazy. When I was younger, I wished I was an only child. Today I am so thankful for my amazing siblings!

3. Friends: Be sure to surround yourself with positive people whose company you enjoy and with whom you can be yourself.

4. Fun: Always have fun, and we always do! We all love our margaritas on the rocks with lots of salt thanks to mom!

5. Finances: Work hard, hustle, and be smart. Prioritize to be comfortable, but not at the expense of the other . Give back.

Thanks, Mom, for everything. Thanks to you, I have a great head on my shoulders and a smile on my face, and I treasure all that we share. I love you.

: My mother has been my strength, and all that I am today I owe to her. We enjoy meals together and reminiscing on old memories, while enjoying a delicious cup of Sri Lankan tea.

Beth: I always tell my mom if she wasn’t my would choose her as a friend. I can truly say my mother is my very best friend. She has shared her unconditional love and made me feel completely adored my whole life. (Who doesn’t want to be adored??) She is the first person I turn to when I have a problem or good news to share. She’s a one in a million with a huge personality, silly sense of humor and contagious spirit. If she shows up, you know you’re in for some smiles, giggles and a good time. I can’t count the times that she has said to me, “Don’t we have fun?” When someone tells me I remind them of my mother, I take it as a huge compliment! I could sit for hours (and sometimes I do) and listen to her life stories and advice. We chat at least once a day and I am so thankful I have her in my life!

Susan: One thing I love about my mom is that she is so much fun. She’s the grandma who got down on the floor to play dolls or blocks with my kids when they were very young, and now she’s the one who asks (with a wink) about the latest romance. She has a fantastic sense of humor and a very infectious laugh. I’m so glad this trait has been passed on to my children. Happy Mother’s Day, Elsie!
