When you think about all you are as a mom and who made you that way I’m sure your mind probably goes to a few key people that molded you. Even if you don’t have a mother, there was likely someone in your life that was a mentor and helped shape who you are today.
I am so fortunate to have the mother that was given to me. She is lively, funny, creative and always up to something. My mother is a woman who is always on the go! She has wonderful ideas and (even though she would tell you differently) has quite a bit of energy. If you ever have a crafting or sewing emergency she is your go to girl! She can also worship and sing like an angel. I was so excited to capture the above shot of her and my son worshipping at the same time earlier this year. So, when eBay told me about the fun new sweepstakes they have going on that was inspired by mothers I was delighted to participate and create a collection inspired by my very own Mom On-the-Go! You can find all 10 of the items inspired by my magnificent mother over on eBay.
1.Sweet Lips Natural Honey Lip Balm//2. Hummingbird Tea Cup//3.Lavender Body Butter//4.Wildlife Habitat Seed Bombs//5.Chicken Tea TowelMy second collection was inspired by my sweet Mother-in-Law. This is a lady who loves to encourage! She is also so wonderful about doing her research on what is healthy and making sure we stay on top of it as well. I am so thankful to have a mother-in-law who cares so deeply for our family. So, this Healthy Mom collection was inspired by her! Check out the other 5 items in the collection over on eBay.

I think I credit just about everything I now know as a mother to my own mom. She taught me how to cook, clean, be compassionate and how to be a good mom to my own kids.
I love the chicken towel… it doesn’t look like anything until you said that. I’ll bet when it’s unfolded it’s CUTE!
What great collections! My mom is super healthy, so I’d make a collection like your second.
This sounds like a great sweepstakes that eBay is currently having. Unfortunately I do not have a relationship with my mom. My step dad taught me everything I knew.
Ebay this is awesome! My mom inspires and gives me strength daily. And she doesn’t even realize it. 🙂
Great promo by ebay! I am definitely eating those words of “I’ll never be like my mom” 🙂
This is a really great campaign. My mom is the most amazing and strongest woman I know. I hope to grow up to be like her.

I definitely got my sense of humor from my mom! She is so silly and I think that keeps her young!
I love your collections. My mom taught me so much about being a mom (and still teaches me.) A collection reflective of her would definitely contain many gardening items.
I got my temper from my mom. Growing up she wasn’t around much but today she’s my best friend.
I absolutely love eBay and shop there frequently. I am always buying gifts on there and a few of these my mom would love!!
me too. i’ve been stalking ebay for a good deal on a new camera body. hey, my mom taught me to spend smart!!
my mom had more influence on me that still comes to light even now, almost 5 years after her death. <3
Ebay is a great place to shop! It’s a nice promo for Moms
Aw, I love this! I love all of your inspiration and this great campaign from eBay.
What a touching post and what a great campaign! I have learned a lot from my Mom over the years and continue to learn from her even today. She is a strong and wonderful woman.
Ebay is awesome, I’ve spent lots of time there. What a great campaign!
I love, love the healthy mom collection. And what a beautiful and inspiring picture of your mom and little one. My mom means the world to me. I hope I mean as much to my little boys.
My mom and I were best friends. She has always been my inspiration in many ways. As a wife, mom, and friend.
I loved reading about your mom. She sounds like an awesome person.
Love the picture of your mom and your story about her. These are both great collections!
Those tiny colorful bowls would be great blog props! Thanks for sharing this story about your mom.
That is a great picture of your mom and your son. 🙂 My grandma was my inspiration, she still is actually, though she’s been gone a long time now.
your mom sounds amazing. Be so thankful that she’s in your life still!
These are great gift ideas. I love the chicken tea towels which is odd because I’m usually not a fan of chicken decor. 🙂
I am so grateful to have my Mom in my life! She taught me most things I know about being a great mother and putting my kids first !
I love that pic of your mom, she’s amazing! I’m grateful for who I call mom, she’s been there for me through so much
I learned so many things and got so many traits from my mother. Too bad I was an adult before I realize how valuable they all were!
What an awesome post! My Mother in law would love that Chicken Tea Towel!!
This is such a great post. My mother has inspired me to always have faith.
If I could be half the person my mother is I would be happy. Everything I am is because of my mother. She is my everything
This post made me smile and think of my mother! She is one amazing gal!
I’m definitely a mom on the go. What cute collections!
