Know a Great Mom? Tell Us All About Her!

With Mother's Day coming up on Sunday, Fox Point-Bayside Patch is hoping you'll share stories (and pictures) of the great moms you know.

I know so many great moms. My grandmother, my mother, my aunts, my sister, many of my friends.

They're amazing, strong women. I've watched them guide their children with loving words. I've seen them give little ones the opportunity to learn to help around the house. They have been generous with their time, and shared their talents with their children.

One of the things I always appreciated about my mom was the support she gave me growing up. No matter what the activity, she was there to watch.

With children of my own, I'm more appreciative than ever of the examples of motherhood I've had in my life. There are days when it's the best job in the world — when my morning starts with sweet smiles and tiny kisses. And there are times when it's tough — when I'm struggling to find a way to teach my son the best way to handle conflict, or when my daughter has woken up, again, to eat. 

I asked my 4-year-old son today what made me a good mom.

"I love you," he said, "and you love me."
