An Awesome Mother’s Day Gift
You how know every mom has their own catchphrases. Those things you heard her say a million times over? Well this Mother’s Day I decided to immortalize those phrases by designing up some of my Mom’s most famous quotes. I decided to do this because I was broke and I could design these for free (yay). I also did this because one day she won’t be around to say those things and it’s a good way to remember her. I even asked my siblings for help to make sure I got all the best phrases. It was fun to reflect back on my childhood and capture the essence of these phrases.
This is probably the most used and most memorable mom quote. My mom would come into a room and tell us to turn off the lights and open the shutters because “the sun shines for free”. Now that I’m older I understand the struggle and find myself saying it as well.
This mom quote was another popular one. Whenever one of my siblings or I faced a problem instead of giving us the answer she would say “problem solve”. This caused us to think about the situation and become problem solvers. This also made us very independent children and now I am a very capable adult because I learned those problem solving skills when I was young. Thanks mom.
My mom would say this one when she would be goofing around. She would dance, or do some physical activity and follow it with “I still got it”. You go mom. You got it.
My mom would say this one as a warning. She was born and raised in Las Vegas and said growing up I’ll never move somewhere cold. She ended up going to college in Idaho. While she was there she said I’ll never work with potatoes. She then ended up getting a job in a potato warehouse. Moral of the story don’t say you’ll never do something because you will.
This was one that was typically said with an annoyed tone. She would be waiting on one of us kids to leave the house and then this phrase would follow. This phrase is also popular among the whole extended family. Beware don’t take too long to leave or you just might hear this one.
This last one became popular while I was at school. It is common for my family to text in multiple texts or “double text” (each message is its own thought and is sent as such). My mom would send the lip emoji as a sign that the conversation was over. It was more like an I love you goodbye type thing.
Once I completed these quotes I tried to figure out where my mom would put them. I looked around the house and I found a cute frame that was not being used and based my quotes off the size of the frame. I then wrapped it up all cute. The quotes now sit in the entryway of our house.
