Moms are the greatest people in the world to some. They cook, they love, they nurture. My mom in particular, cooks the greatest meals. She has a tendency to add a little twist to a recipe to make it healthy and at the same time delectable. My mom loves my whole family a lot too. And lastly she loves children in general. Ever since my brother was born, my mom has loved our family endlessly. Sometimes I feel like I don't do as much things for her like she does for me.
If you lived in my house somethings you have to know about my mom is that she has some bad habits such as eating instant noodles and buying stuff. My family and I also call her "MA" (in a weird stuffed up voice) to annoy her. When she makes a mistake, does something embarrassing, or has a crazy idea we say "Ah Ma!" We call them Ma Moments. It is obviously not the same in words.
The thing that I appreciate from my Ma the most would be how she supports me all the way. When I was around 10 years old, I loved the clothing store Justice. Now, I think it is a colorful mess of monkeys and fur. But even though my mom probably thought the same thing when I was 10, she would bring me there and would still buy me things from there even though it gave her a headache. Furthermore, she isn't bossy at all. It is sort of interesting that I found this article having to deal with really directive moms who don't let their children make their own decisions.
"Children flourish when they have opportunities to make choices about what they do, particularly in play situations," said Jean Ispa, lead author of the study and professor of human development and family studies at MU. "Mothers who are highly directive do not allow that kind of choice. In our study, the children were playing with some toys, and the very directive mothers were making the decisions about how to play, what to play and how quickly to play."
For example, during play with her child, a highly directive mother might make her toddler put the plastic cow in the toy barn through the barn's door instead of through its window. If a child is playing with a pretend kitchen set, the mom might not let the child touch the fake burners on the stove. Mothers often think they are helping their children by correcting them, but they are limiting the children's creativity and possibly making their children enjoy being with them less, Ispa said.
Wasn't that cute? I'm pretty sure I didn't play with toy cows but you get the point. Moms that are less directive seem to have more of a healthy relationship with their children. I realized recently that she let us become whatever person we wanted to
be. Even though it took a lot of time for us to "mature" she was
patient and always supporting us from stage one. If you are reading this Ma you are SPECTACULAR! I love youuuu!

PS. Whose your favorite One Direction member?
Anyways, it seems like the right time to give you guys an update of what has been going on in my life. I got really sick for a day because I ate too much fetuccini alfredo for dinner (or it was bad sauce.) During that night I also ate a lot of desserts with egg whites in them. Can that even make your stomach flip?? Let's just say, my record of not throwing up in 8 years is now broken. Last Friday some of my youth group and I went to a gym and had a lot of fun. We played basketball, volleyball and things of that sort. It was a lot of fun to be with really nice people. When we came home I nailed my front walkover! Gymnastics isn't my thing anymore, but for dance purposes I must maintain the skills :).
