My mom is special to me because she made it a point to show each of her kids their unique gifts and making sure we used them generously.
My mom is so special to me. She always sacrificed so many things so that we would have Christmas or birthdays. I didn't know this then but have found this out since I have become a mom.
My mom is special to me because she made sure that I had an education and that I took seriously, in return for me taking school seriously. She also gave me the wonderful gift of allowing me to play Cello, an instrument that I love!
My mom is special for SO many reasons! Right now I just appreciate her willingness to listen to me as I struggle through life with two little boys. I appreciate that she (along with my dad) laid the wonderful foundation of Christ in my life - there is no greater gift.

My mom is special to me because she listens. Despite all of her warnings in life she has never said I told you so. Everything she does is filled with love and hope for each of us kids and grandkids. After raising us three kids and being a stay at home mom for 12 years she started her own business. Tirelessly she poured even more heart and soul into make sure we had enough toys every birthday and holiday. She has showed me what it means to be an independent woman and what strength really means.e
Well, I am the mom and would love to give one to my daughter with all my thoughts and wishes for her. To let her know how much I love her; I would gladly fill one out to give her to keep. Such a special gift! Thanks for the chance.
My mom is special to me because when I felt like no one cared...she did. She would talk to me like a friend and/or a mother at the exact times I need them.
My mom would come up every weekend and took time off work to help care for my son while he was in the hospital for 9 months. She is not just my mom, but my friend.
My mom has been gone for eight years. I would love to win the "Mom" Journal
to write in for my sons. Many thanks, Cindi

My mom is special because he always pushes me to stretch myself. Everyone needs someone like that in their life.
I love the idea of these books! Thanks for the chance to win one.
My mom is special for so many reasons... she was naturally the soft shoulder and one full of encouragement and love while we grew up. But she did so much more than that, which you only realize once you are older. She worked full-time, did all the 1950s typical housewife duties too, AND attended every event for us. She made us breakfast every morning, and made sure the whole family ate dinner together. She was always named 'super mom' by me and my friends. Only after I grew up, did I also realize what a great person she is - she bikes and is active, she's funny and sarcastic, she's smart and very successful at work, she loves to travel and find adventure, etc. She's awesome, and I hope to be half as great a mom and person as she is, for our son. laurachilton {at} hotmail.com
My mom is so awesome she is the one person in my life that will drop anything and everything to come help me in any way I need. She has total unconditional love!

My mom was a very special person to me because she taught me to be myself and to never change for anyone else. She also taught me to be the mother I am today to my two beautiful girls. She sacrificed herself so that I could have things and was never selfish. I miss my mom very much and wish that she was still here today to see her new grandchild but I know that she is still proud of all of us today. Thanks so much for a great and special giveaway.

My mom is not only my mom but my best friend. I tell her anything and everything and i know she is always there for me. I can onlly hope that someday I can be half the mother she has been to me :)
My mom is particularly special to me now because she's all I have left. I lost my dad three months ago and my heart still aches for him so much but I am so grateful that I still have my mom. She is the sweetest, most loving, most appreciative mom and she has a witty sense of humor which has been fun to see develop. I just love her to pieces.

My mom is in Brazil. She'll stay up really late (her time) o talk to me.
My Mom is so great because she has given each and everyone of her kids so much of herself! I hope to be as great as mom as her with my kids.

My mother is special because it seems she was put on earth just to be a mom and a grandmother. There isn't anything she wouldn't do for her 7 children or her 9 almost 10 grandchildren. She put down what she was doing in her life when my sister went through cancer treatment with chemo and radiation and bone marrow treatment. She also dropped everything when I was diagnosed with DVT and then was in need of a blood transfusion. She has stayed home with me for the holidays when all the other members of our family went on vacation.
My mom is the best listener and my greatest source of encouragement. I love her so much!
Aw, so cute! My mom is special to me because she's always there and willing to listen. I know people say you aren't friends with your parents, but my mom honestly is a friend of mine. she's been through a lot in her life and is still so strong. i admire it a lot and would love to give this to her.

No matter what I've said or done, my mom has always been there for me. She is the best example of unconditional love I can see. She's an amazing, loving woman and I aspire to be just like her.
My mom has passed away and this month it was her 13th ann.she passed away in her late 40s when I was 22. I am 35 now and still there has not been a day when I don't think about her.She helps me in every possible way even today..I just wanted to share this and it feels really good.
My mom saved my life when she made the tough decision to send me to live with my dad to get away from a bad group of friends in high school. I ended up staying in the south and marrying a fabulous guy. I was able to turn my entire life around due to her sacrafice. But now we live 1200 miles away. I am forever grateful that she did what she did, but I miss her everyday. She is my best friend.
My mom is special to me because she always tried to make sure we had everything we needed plus what we wanted! She's great!

My mom is my best friend. She is always there for me and has always been my personal cheerleading squad.
My Mom lives in another country, far from me, so we don't get to see each other often. For over 12 years now she has faithfully emailed me every single day! I think that's pretty remarkable! I'd love to fill up a book with all the wonderful things that I wish I could say to her in person!

What a neat idea. I love writing...I would love to win this!
I have one of those "safe" moms - you know the kind you can call when you need to - and the "safe"feeling just comes through the phone line. We live pretty far apart, but just knowing she is there - anytime I need her, for any reason, well - that's safe.
My mom is my best friend. She raised me by herself on one income, but I never felt deprived. She always did things for me for school that I would volunteer her for. She always made my Halloween costume....I could go on and on!

My Mom gave me life, and my mother has also saved my life, multiple times. I don't think I could even get through a day without her. This would be a wonderful gift! sharlacarbine at gmail dot com

my mom is special because even now, as an adult, i always feel safe in her arms. thanks for the giveaway!
Oh how do I count the ways.....
My mom IS my best friend. I have tears welling up just thinking about how amazing she is. She has always put us first and never asked for anything in return. She showed me God and has helped lead me back many times. She is my rock and I appreciate her more than words could ever express!
Thanks for the chance to win this great giveaway!
This is a great giveaway. My mom is awesome. She helps me. First she helped me by teaching me to be a consistent parent. Then she has also helped me be a better wife to my dh, by example, and by her always practical advice. Some people call my mom overbearing because she likes to give advice, but I tell ya what: The woman knows what she is talking about, and I appreciate everything she has every taught me!
Oh, geez, there isn't enough time or space here to tell why my mother is so special to me. She made me a person that she and I can both be proud of, and ensured the same for my kids, and our family's future generations. She makes me realize my potential.
Wow what a neat prize. My mom has helped me to be the woman I am today.
My mom is special to me because she has taught me about unconditional love. She has taught me how to be a strong woman.
My Mom is special to me because she has an incredible love for everyone. Not just me and my brothers and sisters, I mean everyone. She is such a great example to me.
Well I don't have a mom so I can't really answer your question, but since I was raised without a mother I know with my own children I want to be the absolute best mom I can be and to be there for them no matter what and always support them and have them know that I am proud of them always!
My mom is one of my best friends and I would love to share this with her!
This is precious! My mom is special because she always encouraged me, trusted me and has listened with an open heart and mind.

This is a beautiful gift! I would love to fill it out and give it to my daughter when she is older.

My mom is special to me for the good memories she created in my childhood.
My mom is the greatest woman on earth. Even if she's already so tired, she'd urge herself to get up and cook us a perfect meal. If that isn't love, then i don't know what love is.

My mom is so special because she is the perfect example of what a godly mother and wife should be. She was my teacher and now she's my friend!
Thanks for the giveaway!
My Mom is special to me becausefor the longest time it was just the two of us. We didn't have much, but she sure made sure that I was rich when it came to love. It sound funny, but even though we were struggling, it was one of the best times of my life!
I want to win this for my daughter in law. My mom died a couple of years ago and I have some journals that she left. GREAT idea!!
My Mom is so special because she always seemed to be able to make something out of nothing. When time were tough and we didn't have any money...there were always wonderful,thoughtful, homemade gifts under the tree at Christmas.

My mom is so special to me because she's just... her. She's there for me, she listens to me, she gives me advice, and she still manages to somehow have all the answers to my questions. I hope that when my daughters grow up we'll have a close relationship too and I'll be able to be there for them in the same way.
Thanks!

My Mom is special to me because she has always been there for me,she worked hard all her life so all of us could have the little things in life
My mom is special because she's never afraid to be her own person no matter what people think. She taught us not to be afraid to go out and be ourselves.
my mom is a great listener, and has always laughed at my quirky stories (even if no one else thinks they are funny!)
Beside my husband, my mom is my best friend! I tell her pretty much everything and she's always been there for me.

My mom is special to me because she is a rock and an inspiration. She has shown me through her example of how to be a mom and a woman of faith.
My mother passed away in 1995. Now that I'm a mother, she's special to me because of the sacrifices she made for me and the lengths she went to to make sure I grew up in our faith. I didn't really appreciate that until I had a child of my own.
My mom has always been there for me. She is so special. She still goes above & beyond to help me & make me a better person & mom. She is the kind of mother I want to be.
Thanks!

My mom is special to me because she has shown me true strength. She raised us on her own and passed on good values and beliefs.
If it wasn't for my mother I wouldn't be the awesome mother I am today! (Oh and the patience, I get that from her!)

My mom is so special to me because of all the sacrifices she has made for me. I know there have been a lot!
When I had my first child 5 months ago, I realized how wonderful my mother is. Not only can I see her in a new light as I have become a mother, but she helped me out with EVERYTHING for the first two weeks after I had her. She is truly selfless and wonderful.
My mom passed away when I was a child, and my aunt became my "mom". she is a very special person and sacrifices daily for her family.

My mom has breast cancer. She is so wonderful and brave
I can't list in a comment why my mom is so special, but probably the main reason is because I know she would do anything - and has - for me & my family. It means the world to me. Thank you for doing this!
My mom is the only mom I have! She gave up a lot to give us what we needed growing up, and I love her for that. We live far apart, but still talk almost every single day. Thanks for the giveaway!

My mom does everything she can to help her kids out and she is a wonderful Grandmother to my little girls! I could not ask for more! She never gave up on me when I was a bratty teenager and she's been there through thick and thin.

My mom and I really enjoy taking mini vacations together. She's pretty laid back on vacation, so we just do whatever we feel like. We recently went to Asheville NC for a weekend and had a blast!

What a great product! My mom is special to me because she is so caring and selfless. She is always giving to others, including me. She inspires me to give to others as well.
My mother is special to me not only because she gave me life but because she has sacrificed so much in hers so that I could become better than she is.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!
THANKS!!

I've heard of these before, and I'd sure love to win one!
My mom and I don't have the best relationship. We were often at odds while I was growing up, and I wasn't even a rebellious teenager. Our personalities just didn't mix. As it turns out, I've figured out how much I'm just like my mom since I've grown up, and we've come to sort of an odd understanding about how we relate to each other. I love her dearly, and I'm certainly glad for everything she did for me as I grew up. But sometimes it's a good thing we live on opposite coasts and can communicate mostly through the internet and phone calls!
My mom is my best friend! She has always supported me and been my shoulder to lean on. I dont know what I would do without her! I would love to win! Thanks!
My mom rocks! She has been there for me through thick and thin. My husband is in Afghanistan, I have 4 kids, one who gets sick a lot and is in remission from Leukemia AND had spine fusion surgery this summer. She's always ready to help out with the other when I need to take her to an appointment and has even watched them all a few times so I could have some alone time. I truly don't know what I'd do without my mom!
My mom is special because I have never met a more altruistic person in my life! She is always looking out for others (so I spoil her because she deserves it!)
I've made a lot of left turns in my life and I'm sure I'll make a few more. And with every turn and stop along the way I know that my mom will always be there for me.

My mom is so special to me because she always goes above and beyond. We are best friends now that I am an adult.
What a fun idea. I've never seen this before. Thanks!!
My mom is so special to me because even at almost 32 years old, she came back to 'take care of me' and help with my one year old after having surgery this past Monday! What a loving momma-- always putting her kids first even after almost 32 years!!!
