Mom's Top Ten

Pinterest

In honor of Mother's day here are my mother's top ten lessons for living. "You should eat!" is a given.

1. Always put some "pin" money in your wallet and then forget about it. You never
    know when you might need some emergency cash.

2. Wear good shoes and a handbag.

3. Only spend what you can afford (applies to #2).

4. Always write thank you notes. There's nothing like a
    hard copy in the mail box.

5. Keep a stash of birthday cards and thank you notes for those special occasions.

6. Never go empty-handed to a dinner party.

7. Don't cancel your first invitation for a second one.

8. Furniture is made for rearranging.

9. Always make your bed first thing in the morning. My mother was way ahead of the
   organization curve.

10. Stay away from bushes. (That's a whole other story).
