My Mom gave me the best advice after we got married: don't attempt to change a man. He is what he is. Don't think you have the power to change him just because he is married to you.

Take all the advice people give you with a thank you and a smile, and read all the books you can but only do what you are capable of....you are not a SuperMom...no one is.

my mother's best advice she ever gave me is "A Disney movie a day keeps maturity at bay"... and I live my life by that creed!!

Yes, she definitely does always know best...and feels the need to remind you of it! But of course, we all love our moms. <3

My mother has told me many things and all of them i hold them close to heart: "take everything you hear with a grain of salt," "be aware, be courteous," "it's all a conspiracy," and "please don't make me a grandma, yet."

My Mom told me " Your life is a canvas in which everyday you add a new brush stroke. As long as you allow the beautiful colors of those who love you and the things you love to be on you pallet, your life will be a masterpiece."

My mom has a great sense of humor, so she "amended" my grandmother's (her mom's) advice, "You can't eat looks on a plate" to quip, "but it sure helps when the person eating opposite you is a feast for the eyes."

Her more serious advice was simply this: "Be strong; the only person you can rely on is yourself."
