Project Round Up #46: In Honor Of Mom

taylordavies — Wed, 09 May 2012 19:24:26 +0000

Mother’s Day is Sunday, and what better way to show your appreciation than witha blog post dedicated to her? Okay, so maybe a big hug, flowers, a card and taking her out to lunch might do the trick too… Anyway, we think that a post celebrating all the ways that your mom, grandmother, aunt, whoever – has influenced your life and your style – is pretty fantastic.

The links for this week’s projects were so personal and heartfelt, I read each one from beginning to end. It’s so inspiring and sweet to read about how each of you cherish, idolize and love your mom. From your grandmother’s life lessons to your mom’s amazing style – these posts were such a joy to read.

Here are our 10 favorite submissions from Project #46: In Honor Of Mom:
