I love hearing about Grandma Cherril <3 I am lucky enough to have a WONDERFUL mama. There are so many things that she has taught me. Here's just a few :)

1) The importance of a good home cooked meal and time spent with family

2) Love of classical music (same, Lisa!). I still remember hearing Classical 99.5FM blasting through the house at 6AM. "Happy, happy feast" was always played Friday mornings and my brother and I would beg mom to turn it down. Now I don't go a day without listening to classical radio :)

3) Be the bigger person, empathize with others and forgive often

4) How to build a beautiful home - through decorating, finding unique vintage pieces, and incorporating fresh flowers. I pull so much of my design inspiration from my mom!

5) The importance of giving back to your community and helping others who are less fortuante

Love ya, Mom!!!

One thing I remember my mom telling me was that ,"sometimes it's just about showing up." I've never forgotten it and consider it wise advice. She taught me to make roast chicken, a fresh green salad with a crusty baguette. My siblings will understand that. I had a best mom and I miss her every day.
