Ok, so I realize that I have possibly painted my mom in a negative light. (See previous blogs) My mother is a beautiful, stylish, wonderful person. She has amazingly impecable taste. However, I realize that I may have tarnished her image a bit with a few of my comments. Let's start with the hair blog. I'm dismissing the bad perms to the fact that it was the 80's. Did anyone not have a perm in the 80's? And let me say that my mom has done a wonderful job of keeping with the trends as far as hairstyles go. She is very current with her hairstyle. So let's get to the squirrel overalls. The question that seems to be on everyone's mind is not why she dressed me in the squirrel overalls, but why she ever bought them in the first place. This is a question that I do not have an answer to. No decade can excuse this fashion tragedy. I have no explanation for this. I can say that she has moved on however. I can not recall any other crimes of fashion in her past. At least, none that I know of.
Ok, the cooking. My mom is a great cook, she just chooses not to do it that often. So, when she does cook, it's great. She has overcome any and all weird phases that I can recall, and I very much enjoy her cooking!
Mom, if you're reading this, I love you. I strive to reach your status of fashion greatness someday!

Yes, your mom is a fashionista for sure:)
Hi - it's Mom. I am acutally not offended at all by the previous blogs. I was laughing out loud reading them. It is true - all of it, the bad 80's hairstyles, the sad creative meals, the serious health food stage I caused my family to endure, and yes even the squirrel outfit. For those of you who asked why? Who knows - there is no explanation. I even purchased an outfit for Ava when she was born with a squirrel on it because it reminded me of the one her Mom wore. There have been other fashion and food mishaps along the way that you were kind enough not to mention. Life is fun! Leslie, I think you are amazing!!!!!
At least your mom didn't dress you up as a cloud for Halloween and tell you that she was dressing you up as some thing that God has made.
......every one thought I was a marshmallow. :( Puffy white cloud hat and all!
You should def. post a picture of you wearing the squirrel overalls.
HHhahaaaaa!
You are the best Leslie.
And so is your mom! :-)
I appreciate the stabilization this entry brought to the previous shaking that has occured through the other posts.
We all aspire to be like Linda. And really...you've just helped us realize that the goal is a little more obtainable.
...hopefully without the addiction to squirrel fashion...
P.S.- Can we get your mom on Facebook so I can send her Squirrel Flair???
