I’ve tried to post this with a picture multiple times with no luck sooo here’s the quote I’m referring to:

“Don’t grow a wishbone daughter where your backbone ought to be”- Celementine Paddleford

Today Marnie had us visualize a special strong woman/women during class. Mine were my mom and my 26 year old self.

My mom gave me this awesome quote years ago. It hangs in my bathroom and I take those words in everyday. My mom showed me what it’s like to be a great mother and I look up to her so much ❣️

My 26 year old self took on a lot all while staying strong and positive. I was 26 when my (now) stepdaughter moved in with us full time. She was in 7th grade so I went through all the milestone girl stuff with her. Although at times I felt overwhelmed and too young for such an adult role I channeled my mom and made our house a happy home😊My stepdaughter and I have a wonderful relationship and I feel so proud that I was a strong female role model during such an important part of her life 💪✨
