What I Love About Mom: By Me

A journal is a great way for a Mighty Girl to let Mom know just how much she loves her! This palm-sized book contains 50 prompts about many elements of her relationship — from "I couldn't live without your..." to "You inspire me to..." Make your entries as heartfelt, funny, or silly as you'd like!
