Now get thinking and get your comment posted by April 29 (9:00 MST).
Thanks to my friend Marion for letting me use her as the model.
I’ll start things out by saying that I appreciate my mom teaching me to knit. We even took some classes together. When I knit my first sweater I really relied on her to help me when I didn’t have a clue what I was doing.

These are so pretty!
And my mom taught me to love music. I wish she had given me her voice, but I have to settle for instruments…
My mother taught me to work hard. We lived on a farm and had a huge garden and orchard and a huge yard. Plenty of work to plant and hoe the garden and then can the produce. We mowed the lawn, tended the flowers and shrubs, and did the irrigating for them. She also taught me to make yummy rolls — but now I’m lazy and use Rhodes Rolls . . .
My mother taught me how to plan and cook well balanced home cooked meals for my own family. I followed her example in my own family and had dinner ready at the same time each night where we gathered as a complete family to share our meal and our day with one another.
I wish that I had learned to make her lemon pie from scratch. She learned from my grandmother. My mother now suffers from dementia and her baking days have come to an end. Her recipe lives on which I hope to one day master!
My mom taught me that life is not always fair. She taught me some cooking and some cleaning.
I wish I would have learned to knit and sew most of my own clothing.
my mother taught me how to cook & bake-she was a great cook. I love flowers but she did not have a green thumb I learned a little from my Grandmother
My mom taught me to only count on yourself, but be thankful for everything that you get from others. She also taught me how to make amazing spaghetti sauce from scratch. Gotta love Italians!
My Mother was a buyer for a high end department store & she loved her job. When my father became ill, she quit her job & became his full time caregiver for 10 years. This career oriented woman who rarely got her hands dirty selflessly cared for my father with compassion & good humor. She taught me that love is generous.
My mom taught me to be kind and treat others as you would want to be treated, she also tried to teach me to be a better house cleaner and organizer, however I must of missed a few lessons on that those. The one thing I wish she had taught me was to love life as if it were your last. Do your best everyday for one day it may be gone.
Sorry one more thing, I wish my mom had taught me to hand dip chocolates. She made them every Christmas before I was born. She stopped doing it as I grew older and she never taught me. Now I wish I knew how to do it, however she did teach me how to make her wonderful fudge!
My mother’s rules for behavior were simple. Just do the right thing, which isn’t as easy as it sounds. She also taught me to make pie crust. I knew that something had gone badly awry in her brain when she called me for a pie crust recipe. We had suspicions that all was not well, but that was the definitive proof. She’s been gone since 2002, and I still miss her.
