My favorite memory is her baking and making an absolute mess of the kitchen. Not only did I get my love of baking from her, but I also learned to clean as I go.
My Favorite memories of Mom are putting pigtails in my hair, making Christmas cookies, planting flowers and she had the most wonderful nails and would give me these wonderful 30 second back scratches!
My mom used to take me homemade meals when I was in college, she would always surprised me with my favorites dishes. Memories I would never forget!
my favorite memories of my mom are watching her with my kids.

My memory of my mom is her baking cookies in the kitchen. She bakes the best, and was always encouraged by others to open her own business. She never did because she wants to bake for just family and friends and said she wouldn’t enjoy it if she had to do it every day. We are a lucky family to be able to enjoy her cookies!
Loved spending time with mom–cooking, baking, etc. She always had time for a story and loved to play jacks.
I always love cooking with my mom. I remember she used to let me lick the spoon whenever she would make my favorite cookies.
My best memory is my mom supporting me in every single thing I did – sports, music, church, she was always there cheering me on.
I am blessed with a wonderful mother, and I have so many great memories (and plan to make many more!) One of my favorites is presenting her with her first grandchild when my son was born. She drove 300 miles in a terrible snow/ice storm to be there when we came home from the hospital, then cooked a full Thanksgiving meal for us to enjoy in our smell rented trailer house. It was truly a magical time together.
My favorite memory was coming home after a hard day at school and having grilled cheese cut into triangles!
my mom would love this for mothers day 🙂
one of the best memories i have of my Momma , is sitting at the kitchen table watching her make apple and blackberry pies…She would roll that dough out into perfect circles…She made peeling and slicing those apples look so easy…always with a paring knife,, and do you know,, to this day, i still use a paring knife to slice things, just like my Momma taught me to do…She passed away in 1978…i was 23 at the time…So hard to lose a parent that young…i still needed my Mommy…lol..i miss her still so much…Thanks for letting me share those memories with y’all..
One of my favorite memories is baking cookies with my mom. She always let us decorate them. Now she does the same with my boys.
My Mom was the sweetest person. She was only 52 when she passed away. I miss her terribly.
That is tough to choose….but I think singing in the car with my mom was and still is pretty awesome!
As my mother had M.S. which disabled her ablity to walk during my growing years, I spent many hours watching her crochet afaghans and watching her soap opras on T.V. The soaps are no longer on, however I still do make afaghans in my spare time.
I loved summers at the beach. My favorite memories are seeing my mom and her girlfriends sitting at the pool when us kids came back for the beach. Mama would dry me off and feed me a sandwich from the cooler. We would tell stories and share memories. I can’t wait to share the same memories with my son.
Favorite memory would be going to the duck pond and feeding the ducks with the left over bread crusts from lunch. It was so fun and I remember it fondly.
My favorite memory of my mom was probably when my little sister was born. I was only 8 years old, but I remember how much joy my sister brought to our house!
Singing with my mom
Waking up to my mom playing the piano and singing when I was a kid
My favorite memory of my mom is the way she adores and loves her grandchildren. She has a way of making each one feel so special and loved.
Luckily, I’m still able to make memories with mom. My favorite has been our girls weekends to NYC. We used to go every year. I’m excited to start them agian soon and bring my 8 year old daughter with us!
My favorite memories are when we would go on family vacations. We all just had more fun, and my mom really seemed to loosen up. It was nice. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite memory was of my mom making her special fruit salad for us on holidays and birthdays. It was always the best because we didn’t get it often.
My mom was a single mom and we didn’t have much but she made sure every Friday was game night where my older sister,myself and my mom would play board games. It was alot of fun.
One of my favorite memories is shopping in the rain….it still makes me smile every time I think of that day.
Despite working full-time, my mother had a delicious, well balanced meal every night. My favorite memory of her is on Saturday mornings when we would bake together. We both still love to cook and bake today!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Baking chocolate chip cookies with the recipe from the back of the Nestle bag of chips.
I have many fun summer camping trip memories with my Mom.
My favorite childhood memory in the kitchen with my mother involved an ill-fated attempt to make my great grandmother’s famous fudge. To this day, neither of us really know what went wrong (and we have both successfully made it since then), but instead of a delicious, velvety smooth pan of goodness, we ended up with a concrete mess. It was so horrible that we broke a knife trying to cut it and we had to throw it away pan and all, because we just couldn’t chisel it out! Any time either of us makes a recipe that flops, it is now referred to as “making Grandma Ellen’s fudge.”
My favorite memory is of her cooking her special chocolate pie in the kitchen. I was always in there wanting to help and she always let me lick the spoon when she finished pouring the chocolate into the pie crust. It was so good and she loved cooking. Even though she worked full-time she always cooked for us every night.
My favorite memory of my mom is a trip we spent together traveling to Panama City, Panama with my grandmother who was 98 years old at the time. We wheeled Grandma all over the city and through Atlanta Airport, and I’ve never been so proud of my mom. She was so determined to take Grandma on this trip (Grandma had been so determined to take my mom and I to Panama, where some members of our family moved during the Great Depression to work on the canal). My mom has since moved Grandma (who turns 101 May 18th) into our home in Asheville, NC and she is fully committed to the full-time job of caring for her. She’s an inspiration to me and a blessing to our whole family.
One of my favorite memories of my mom is when she would take me by the Dairy Queen after school for an ice cream snack!
Just hanging out in the kitchen with Mom and my sister talking and baking. So many great times!!
My favorite memories of my mom are sitting around her pool sunbathing and laughing.

Favorite memories with my Mom or as I callher.. my Mutti, was spending time back in her home in Germany with family and friends that she grew up with
One of my favorite memories of my Mom would be her teaching me how to make homemade bread. There are 5 of us kids and when we would get done with the bread it didn’t last long as we all devoured it while it was warm with lots of butter and homemade strawberry jam.
My favorite memory is our shopping trips together!
My mom lost her husband, (my father) and her mother in the same year ( i was only 3, my brother 9) and i remember her being so strong, and worked hard to support us, cooked dinner every single night, and took care of everything for us! AMAZING woman! she is now 81 years of age and still shows me that strength and character and LOVE every single day of my life, even though i am 5 hours away with my own children now. I am moving back to the coast as soon as i can to be closer her every day! She is still going strong and taking care of a home with herself and my wonderful loving stepfather, who joined our lives when i was 10.
Having breakfast at the beach, just the 2 of us!
I remember going and getting manicures with my mom and just spending time together!
My mom had a huge gaggle of kids (a yours-mine&ours family to put cheaper by the dozen to shame) but she still did special things with us like taking us to the roller theater or the skating rink or out to get a treat. It was important to her.
My mom just turned 80, we do so many things together, but my favorite thing I will always remember and be amazed by is how she helps me care for my 3 year old granddaughter. I care for her five days a week and my mom watches her often for me so I can serve at my church. I appreciate her doing this so much.
My mom made dinner every night! I’ll always remember her cooking and baking in the kitchen.
watching her play with my children
My favorite memory of my mom is all the times she would take us on vacations all by herself and she tried to create so many memories for us.
My favorite memories are all the recent trips we have taken. She goes along with me and my kids since I am a single mom. She is so kind and patient and after a trip tells me it was the best time ever. Love her.
One of my favorite memories with my mom is talking & playing games together!
My favorite memories include the year we spent hand piecing a quilt together. She had never quilted before and I ask her to join me in this endeavor and she loved it.
My favorite memories of my mom are when she would talk to us about how important of a job she felt being a mom was. She tried very hard to be the best mom for her kids.
I remember baking with my mom all the time. She is the reason I now sell cakes myself.

I am blessed that my mom and I spend a lot of time together and she is my best friend it is a blessing for me to have her in my life. My favorite times with her are when we take mission trips together every few years.
I will always remember the great water fights we had as a family. No one was safe!
My favorite memory of my mom was when my mother told me that she thought every day was Mother’s Day!!!!
All of our fun trips to Disney when I was younger.
When I was little, we used to do the same thing for my birthday every year: go to the local water slides. It was so fun, and something I associate with that huuuuge excitement you feel as a little kid for a birthday! My mom always did so much for me. One year I had a Strawberry Shortcake birthday cake, and it was the absolute best, lol! A favorite picture of us is from that particular birthday, where I am about 4 and have a little blow-up swimming circle around me and my mom is standing behind me 🙂
My favorite memory of my mother is when I was on a traveling bowling league. She made a bet with me that if I picked up a split, she would dance to Michael Jackson’s Bad in the middle of the bowling alley! I got the split and her dancing in the middle of the bowling alley was the best! People even started throwing change at her feet!!! I loved it and she is the best mom anyone can have!
My favorite memory of my mom is the smell of her face lotion that I can remember from when she would tuck me in and kiss me good night.
My mom is here with me now – visiting from out of state for two weeks. We have great memories of riding bikes together and she is so excited to borrow my husband’s bike, so we can create more memories!
My favorite memory of my Mom is her reading chapter books to us on snowy evenings with mugs of hot chocolate.
I think my favorite memory of my mother is also one of my earliest – I was watching her iron.
My favorite memory is shopping with my mom!
Okay, I’ll go for it! Thanks for the chance to WIN! 🙂
My mother is my hero. Over the past 3 years I have had some pretty serious medical problems. My mother has sat by my through 19 surgeries, and I have another coming up on April 30th. She is the strongest woman I have ever met. I never could have done this without her.
My favorite memory is fresh raspberry pies my mom would make. Thanks for the chance to enter.
I loved cooking and baking with my mom.
I currently live with my Mom again so we are making memories everyday.
My favorite memory of my mom is when she and I went on a mother daughter trip to Florida. We made little stops along the way to explore.
My favorite memory of my mom is hugging her after I played at Lincoln Center. She always supported me in music so it was great to celebrate that moment with her.
My mother’s fragrance. She was been gone since 1978 and I can still smell her.
My favorite memory of my mother is when she let me drive
My favorite memory is my Mom teaching me to drive a standard car.
My favorite memory of my mom is when my baby was born! My mother was my nurse and she was there to help deliver her grandaughter. I could never have done it without her!
my favorite memory of my mom is one where I am about 4 years old helping her out making Christmas cookies in the kitchen at my first home, our apartment. While we made the cookies, I watched Christmas specials on our little black and white tv that my mom pulled toward the kitchen so I could work at the table with her to make the cookies and watch the tv at the same time. As I recall, I was dressed in flannel footie pjs too. what a great night that was!
I loved sitting with Momma while she curled my hair for church. As a teen I did all I could to straighten it! I miss her…
I just loved always being able to come home and talk to my mom. Now I just call her all the time 🙂
I loved gardening with my mom every spring when I was younger!
My mom made the best Sunday dinner it was always roast beef, potatoes, gravy, frozen corn, jello and homemade hot rolls. Perfect meal for my 5 always hungry brothers!
I can remember coming home from school & my Mom always had a snack ready for us, & she always made great desserts to have after dinner. I’m still amazed how she could take the simplest ingredients and always come up with delicious meals.
I love my mom’s love of cooking and experimenting in the kitchen! I only hope I can be half as good a cook as she is!!
I remember coming home from school each day and smelling her wonderful food cooking. She would have me stir pots while she did other things and we would talk about our day. I miss her a lot now that she is gone. I learned a lot in the kitchen from her!
I loved the times of lying on my mom’s bed at night and talking about anything and everything!
My mom has been gone for 31 years. When I was young and in Girl Scouts my mom actually went on a camping trip with us. This was so out of her realm of being comfortable but she actually had a great time. I was so proud of her.
my favorite memory of mom is really a smell. the smell of her robe when she hugged me in the morning 🙂
One of my favorite memories is learning to cook with my mom. Which I now have the pleasure of trying to teach my dad. Mom had a stroke 2 years ago and is not able to do any cooking so I am so glad for the skills and memories to pass down.
