Thankful

Tonight, I made homemade chicken noodle soup from scratch.  Recently, I've posted about candle makin', notecard creatin', and I've been scarf makin' (I'm a sucker for parallel structure).  I'll post about my scarf--two years in the making--when I finish it, which should be soon (fingers crossed). Mom even gave me one of her sewing machines (she has three) to make more moleskine notebooks

Each time I try something new, it makes me think of our mom.  And when I try something "new," I'm reminded that she taught us all of this way back when.  

Tell us: what important skills has your mom taught you?
