Inspired aspirations - What I hope I've learned from my mother-in-law:

• I want to be a mom who listens without bugging. I don't want to be remembered for asking the standard "mom" questions you never wanted to answer, "What did you learn in school today?" 
• I want to show up with unexpected gifts for my children. Gifts that they love because I have taken the time to observe and see what their tastes are, what they like and use. 
• I want to be available to drop what I am doing to help my children. Not to teach them that they cannot do it on their own - but to show them I love them. It's a fine line. I'd like to figure that balance out.
• I want my children to turn out like my husband and his siblings. I pray that Jon and I can be as good of parents as his.
