Mom
Sisterfreude
“Easter 1985. I am the gleeful four-year-old that just sent her little sister running away in tears. All my mom wanted was a nice picture of my sister and I in our cute dresses.”

Bachelorette Party
“This was my aunt’s bachelorette party! Not only does my grandma look beautiful, my mom looks mortified. I remember this guy showing up as a cop then my mom making all the kids go play in the back yard! I knew they were all up to something. R.I.P. Grammy I will miss you forever and ever! ”

Poster Boy
“My brother purchased this Burt Reynolds poster all by himself for our Mom and he was quite proud. She hung it over her bed where it remained for years. I don’t recall Dad objecting to this, or if he did, she still won. I’m the one looking confused in the Dorothy Hamill haircut.”

Everybody Do The Dinosaur
“Photo of my family and me (on the left) in the 80’s. No lie, this was a casual Saturday afternoon on our way to the mall! Just HaleyASaurus, MommyASaurus, and HeidiASaurus traveling around in our ‘Wish We Were A Dinosaur Family’ sweats!”

Thriller
“It was just your typical church directory picture from Olan Mills, until my son went to art school, enlarged it and superimposed Michael Jackson into it. This was featured in a school-wide Mother’s Day show with the title ‘My mother dated Michael Jackson.'”

Thrilla To Manila
“We were traveling from Alabama to Manila, and this was taken during the first half of the trip. Unfortunately for my Mom, we still had a loooooong way to go.”

Flower Power
“I thought it would be fun for me to make matching outfits for my mom and my daughter and I. It was the 60s and these very large flower prints were very popular. I was so proud of my sewing abilities and my fake hair!”

Hair Me Downs
“My mom (right) did my hair as a child and I believe I was subjected to hairspray poisoning which led me down a road of bad choices in picking men. It’s been like wearing hairspray beer goggles for 23 years.”
