I’m doing something unusual on the blog today – posting on a Sunday instead of a Monday. But it’s Mother’s Day so I thought I would pay tribute to mom by compiling a Mother’s Day look at Mommyisms. Mommyisms are those things that only a mother could say and in most cases…only my mother!
The post that started it all was Mommyisms: Funny Things My Mother Said. This post was actually about those things that most mothers say. That includes this mother! If you’re a Mom, I’m sure you’ll find something in here that you said at least once, like “Because I said so, that’s why!”
In Part II of Mommyisms: Funny Things My Mother Said, I share those things that could only have come out of my Mother’s mouth. Read this if you want to know what Richards and Pussy Willows have in common. And read this if you want to know the secret to long life. I wrote this post on my Mother’s 98th birthday. She’ll turn 99 in August.
And last but not least, comes this set, Laugh With These 3 New Mommyisms. These are all recent but are all instant classics. They truly could not have come from anyone but my Mother. Read this one to find out about her discussion with President Lincoln. You can also learn why there won’t be any pies at her funeral.
I hope you enjoy reading these and I hope it reminds you to take the time to laugh with your own Mother. Or create these types of moments for your own children to remember.
Some great stuff here … your mother sounds like someone I would love to know!
Thanks. She probably would be someone you’d like to know. She’s hysterical, even when she doesn’t try.
You have a wonderful Mother, Jennifer and so fortunate to still have her in your life. My Mother sadly is no longer with me but I know she will always be with me in spirit. I love Mommyisms and as mothers we all come up with some doozies from time to time. Have a great week! x
Thanks, Jennifer, for sharing your Mommyisms, and your secret to long life 🙂 I’m visiting from MLSTL.
Hi Jennifer and welcome to Midlife Share the Love Party. I love our Mommyisms and I’m sure I have a few of my own LOL:) Have a great week! #MLSTL
I have a mother who is prone to saying stuff that makes me smile. I’m hoping she’ll do a guest post on my blog sometime in the future (her life is more exciting than mine – including her very imaginative sex life with her toy boy friend with benefits!) Stay tuned!
Thanks for linking up with us at #MLSTL and I’ve shared this on my SM xx

Toy boyfriend with benefits? I look forward to your mother’s guest post!
What fun reads. My mother said some of the same things that your mother and of course I have said them myself. You are blessed to have your mother and be able to share a laugh or two with her.
Your mother sounds like a great lady–and a funny one. My father-in-law never went to funerals. If you asked him why, he’d tell you, “He (or she) isn’t going to my funeral. Why should I go to his?” I found your post on #MLSTL.
