My mom has a fantastic collection of her paper dolls from when she was a girl. Movie stars with plenty of glamorous outfits to try on and change into. When I was a child, she would sit with me for hours telling me who the stars were and helping me find the right dresses for the dolls.
As I celebrate her birthday today, that is just one of a million memories on my mind. I feel fortunate to have this steel-spined, funny, kind, determined woman in my life.

That’s gorgeous, of both of you. Best wishes to Mom!
Aw. Great photo. I love the “moment” of it. Not like the planned stand next to each other and pretend you like one another. True love. Or as they say – TRUUUUUUEEEE LOOOOOOVE 🙂
Mother’s are special to us. How wonderful to have such a great relationship.
What a beautiful picture! She is a beautiful lady, and I hope you have a nice day with her.
I immediately recognized the wedding shawl! I love this picture and always love to hear you and MB talk about your mom. You’re lucky girls.

Wonderful photo! I remember having paper dolls too.
What a gorgeous photo. Having suffered a serious health issue with my mother last year, it’s absolutely wonderful that you recognize what a gift your mother is in your life.
Tell her Happy Birthday! I hope you’re spoiling her rotten today!
Happy birthday, Mom! I hope she has a perfect birthday.
Great photo and great memory, too.
