10 Little Things I Miss About My Mom On Mother's Day

After spending my first Mother's Day without you, I can't help but think of all the little things that made me smile...

1. Watching our favorite TV shows together

KUWTK, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Dance Moms -- we watched it all. Not to mention how we took on every Netflix binge together as well (notable mentions: both Dexter and Breaking Bad) -- our DVR box misses you, too.

2. Listening to you sing

You were really good at getting songs stuck in your head... and really good at singing them for days on end until you got them out. But that was all okay -- you could make any song sound lovely, and I'm going to miss hearing that beautiful voice hum along to anything and everything.

3. Your amazing doodles

...and art, in general. You're so talented in everything you do -- you're a fantastic artist... but there was something so charming about the little doodles you would draw that would pep up anything! (like the notes you would send in my care packages throughout this year...)

4. Our silly text messages

Spell check always got the best of you -- but that's the best kind of material for me to tweet out to all my friends to embarrass you ;) Missing your fantastic sense of humor

5. Your full support of my Nick Jonas obsession

Everything from recording the talk shows he was on for me, to winning me meet and greets... It was all so fun. I'll still make it my mission to make him your son-in-law (eventually)...

6. Cooking together

It always amazed me how you never had to measure things -- you always could eye the right amount to pour in or mix up. We also seemed to have the best conversations while chopping up veggies for dinner. Not to mention -- you were the best baklava buddy I could ever ask for.

7. Scratching my back for hours on end

You were always on-call (in my mind) for giving me super awesome, long back scratches (especially ones until I fell asleep)... Your back-scratcher gag gift at Christmas might come in handy now!

8. Finding my favorite snacks in the fridge

Especially when I was having a hard day/week, it was always fun to see a little silent "I love you" in the form of some french onion dip, chocolate covered strawberries, or any other fun snack waiting for me in the fridge

9. Snuggling late at night

Whenever I couldn't sleep at 2 in the morning, I would always come down stairs to find you still up too. Forever going to miss sharing the couch with you, with only the light being some muted late-night talk show, while we talked about our lives. Always.

10. Frankly... Everything.

You're one of a kind, Mommy... and I can truthfully say that I love and miss everything about you -- the good and the bad. This first Mother's Day without you here was hard, but I know you'll read this post from heaven and smile along with me. Every day is Mother's Day and I hope you had a great one upstairs. I love you.
