Flashback Friday: Because of My Mom

Happy Feel Good Friday Joy Chasers! It does not need to be mother's day, her birthday, or any other special day to give my  mom a shout out.  She is awesome and is largely responsible for the awesome parts of me.  It runs in the family you know :-)  This weeks flashback post is about all the things that I have learned and experienced Because Of My Mom.  Who contributed to your awesomeness Joy Chasers??
If this is your first Flashback here is the deal. Flashback Friday is where we Flashback to our older blog posts and link up! You can also post a link to your Flashback post on the Chasing Joy Facebook Page. Flashback Friday is a great way to rediscover our earlier works and discover some new blogs. Just pick out your link and add it below. Use hashtags #FBF or #FlashbackFriday on twitter to advertise your Flashback post.
Add your link below and be sure to check out AT LEAST TWO other Flashback posts. I suggest the two listed before your post to make it easy. Please leave a comment saying why you selected your Flashback post and what you thought about the other Flashback posts. I'm looking forward to reading all of your Flashbacks.
