Rookie Mom

When you hit rock bottom, she always has the perfect pep talk to inspire you and make you feel better.

She takes great pleasure in spoiling her grandkids – she’ll let them get away with just about anything, even if their mother raises a disapproving eyebrow. She enjoys the little things in life like leisurely walks around the neighborhood and settling into a rocking chair to read a book. She truly understands that life is precious and that you should never take a day for granted. There’s an Italian proverb that says, “If nothing is going well, call your grandmother.” Who better to call than the person who has experienced all of life’s trials and tribulations?
