"Mother knows best!"



So I realize this quote comes from a bad guy, but seriously, it's Disney.  How am I expected to find a quote about mothers that isn't somehow related to badness?  Cinderella: evil stepmother.  Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty: no mothers (ok, Sleeping Beauty's mother exists, she just isn't significant).  Rapunzel: evil kidnapper mother (although her real mother is nice, she just doesn't have any quotes haha).  The mother figure is always bad, dead, or unimportant as far as Disney is concerned.  Walt must have really hated his mother haha.  Under the circumstances, it's the best I can do. 

On to the actual reason for this little post...I'm fairly certain my mother is going to win "Best Mother of the Year" award this semester (see, that's not badness!!).  Because I just received a care package =)  She saw the pictures of my bedroom on my Facebook page, and replied verbatim "Your walls need some help!"  So she sent me magazine cut-out pictures to decorate with and hang on my falling-apart, definitely seen better days walls =)  Cute animals, Disney (of course haha), advertisements for my car, and photos of wine.  Also, she's definitely helping plan my trips to Bordeaux and Italy, among other places, and finding super cheap hotels and hostels to stay in.  Epic win!  Huzzah!  I would share a glass of wine with her, but she's not actually here…so I'll just drink the wine in her honor for the both of us =) Hooray for mothers!!  Especially mothers who defy the Disney stereotype and aren't evil bad guys who lock their daughters away in towers!!! =)

Oh, I feel I should also mention as I'm describing the awesomeness that is my mother, the M&M blanket and pillow on my bed (as seen on the Facebook pictures) are also her contributions to my bedroom.  They made the horrible 10 hour, sleepless plane ride a little bit more bearable and make my room that much more cheery =)  Another glass of wine for another epic win!!!
