Lessons From Our Mothers

In honor of Mother’s Day coming up this weekend, I asked a few of my favorite bloggers and designers to share the best lessons they’ve learned from their mothers. Their answers were so enlightening, and I definitely got choked up over one or two. But, of course, I have to start by sharing a little about my own mom.

Emily Ley may have coined the phrase, “I will hold myself to a standard of grace, not perfection,” but my mom embodies this saying every. single. day. She makes the best out of any situation; even as she was diagnosed with cancer last year, her faith and her positive attitude never wavered. She took it gracefully in stride, just like she does everything else, and she came out on the other side of it. I live in constant admiration of her courage and her strength.
