Between Mom and Me: A Mother and Son Keepsake Journal

Product Information

Bringing up a daughter, a mother pours a part of her soul. Bringing up a son, she gives him her whole soul.”— Unknown Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.”— Augustus Hare Brent," I said, coming out of the bedroom to stand beside him, naked and dripping water, "I'm getting chubby, aren't I?" My hands on my tummy, I caressed the soft swells of my hips, showing my mostly-flat abs. We know that the bond a mother has with all her children is special, but there's just something truly unique about the mother and son relationship (same goes for the mother-daughter one, too!). And because it's so remarkable, it can often be hard to find the right words to convey how you're feeling when you're celebrating a special together. The moment that little bundle of pink, squirming flesh slips into our arms, love touches us. We feel it, not just in our hearts, but also on our skin. He is there. Our son.”— Meg Meeker

Brent's eyes went wide. "Chubby? God no, Mom!" He sat up and swung his feet out of bed, facing me. He was wearing the shorts he'd had on; I could see his bulge lengthen and swell. No man succeeds without a good woman behind him. Wife or mother, if it is both, he is twice blessed indeed.”— Godfrey Winn My mother is my root, my foundation. She planted the seed that I base my life on, and that is the belief that the ability to achieve starts in your mind.”— Michael JordanMy greatest blessing has been the birth of my son. My next greatest blessing has been my ability to turn people into children of mine.”— Maya Angelou A mother’s love doesn’t make her son more dependent and timid; it actually makes him stronger and more independent.”— Cheri Fuller, What a Son Needs From His Mom My father died when I was seven, leaving a widow and five sons, ranging in age from five to seventeen. My mother was the most highly disciplined and hardest working person I have ever known, and this, combined with her love and gentleness, enabled her to make a success of each of her children.”— Arthur Lewis Quotes About Sons From #Boymoms You don't think?" I asked, turning around. "What about my ass? Is it flabby?" I knew my bottom was only inches from his face. My son had been right; I did love having him look at me.

The bond between a mom and son is a special one. (So is that between mother and daughter, but we are all about celebrating our boys today—on Son's Day!) As mothers, we teach our sons how to be kind, gentle, and respectful. We want to make sure they know it’s just as okay to feel upset and shed tears as it is to be angry and mad. A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.”— Cardinal Mermillod Little boys can test your patience, run you ragged, and make you want to pull your hair out. But they will also melt your heart with just one look, and make you wonder how you ever existed before them.”— Katie Bingham Smith There is an enduring tenderness in the love of a mother to a son that transcends all other affections of the heart.”— Washington Irving

Sometimes when I need a miracle, I look into my son’s eyes, and realize I’ve already created one.”— Unknown I am a boy mom, and I keep my eyes on the goal: raising the boy I love into a man who will make this world a better place.”— Monica Swanson
