Great to see you again!! Y'all don't forget to fan me on Facebook, and subscribe to my Examiner articles!

On this fun-filled “freeing myself from clutter” Friday, I thought I would keep y’all entertained with a couple of my favorite songs. One definitely reminds me of motherhood and the other one does in a more round-about way.

First, one of my favorite Jamie O’Neal songs (the video disabled embedding):
"Somebody's Hero" by Jamie O'Neal

I could listen to this song over and over. I hope all of my children feel this way about me when they grow up! (Some company at the nursing home wouldn’t be bad either!!)

Now, I want to share a little song I first heard about from my high school friend’s blog. It was played on their blog after she tragically passed away last September, and I fell in love with it. It talks about leaving a legacy…and the easy tie in to Mother’s Day is that I believe our children are one of the legacies we leave.

We can really do a lot of good in the world if we teach our children about what type of legacy we want to leave. Instead of focusing on negative things, focus on positive things, helping others, compassion, caring, and honesty. It doesn’t matter how far you go in life or what you end up with; it matters how you treat others along the way, especially those you dislike.

I hope that becomes apparent to my children. I hope I leave a wonderful legacy to be passed down generation to generation. I hope the evils in this world don’t take away from the values I’m trying to instill in every one of my kids. I love them and love being a mother!

I wish every one of you moms out there a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! I’ll be back on Monday, we are going to celebrate all weekend. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful husband here to celebrate this weekend with me and the kids!
